Making settings on the hob
Your hob is equipped with four gas burners. The following
information explains how to light the gas burners and set the
size of flame.
Igniting the gas burners
Ensure that the burner lid always sits on the burner cup
correctly. The slots on the burner cup must not be blocked. All
parts must be dry.
Press the burner knob of the selected burner in and turn it
1.
anti-clockwise to the highest power level. When the burner
knob is pressed, the ignition process starts.
Press and hold the burner knob for 3-5 seconds. Gas begins

to flow out and the gas burner ignites.
The safety pilot is activated. If the gas flame goes out, the gas
supply is automatically cut off by the safety pilot.

3.
between the Off position and the highest power level. For this
reason, you should always select a setting between the
highest and lowest power level.

Use pans which are the right
size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame must
not touch the sides of the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on the
hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick, flat
base.
The burner knob should not be pressed in the ignition position
for longer than 15 seconds. If the burner does not ignite within
15 seconds, wait at least one minute. Then repeat the ignition
process.
:
Caution!
If, after switching the gas hob off, you turn the burner knob
while the gas hob is still hot, gas will escape. If you do not
press the burner knob, the gas is not ignited and the gas
supply is interrupted within 90 seconds.
No ignition occurs
If there is a power cut or if the ignition plugs are damp, you can
light the gas burners with a gas lighter or a match.
Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is
operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours.
This does not pose any risk and does not indicate a
malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the
presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the
burner operating control knob and do not try to relight it for at
least 1 minute.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound (thud)
will be produced. This is not a fault - this means that the safety
device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition sparkers
are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them periodically
using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the ignition
sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts.
Do not cook without using a lid
and make sure the lid is
properly fitted. This wastes
energy.
Always centre the pan over the
burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on the
burners near the control
knobs. These may be
damaged by the very high
temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on the
burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps are
correctly positioned before
using the appliance.
