Gas burners

Notes
‒ If you hear a quiet hum when the burner is
operating, this is completely normal.
‒ The first time you use your appliance, it is normal
for certain odours to be released. This does not
pose any risks, and is not a fault. The odours will
disappear over time.
‒ An orange flame is normal. The colour is a result of
dust in the air, boiled-over liquids, etc.
‒ If the burner's flame accidentally goes out, turn the
control knob for the burner to position 0. Wait at
least a minute until you reignite the flame.

Setting the hob

The marks on the control knobs show you the position of
the corresponding burner and the setting, from high to
low heat. The setting is infinitely variable.
Notes
‒ Only ignite the hotplates if the pan supports and all
burner parts are correctly fitted.
‒ The burners and ignition plugs must be clean and
dry.
‒ Only use the accessories specified. Do not line the
stainless steel recess (e.g. with aluminium foil).

Automatic ignition

Note: It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the
ignition plugs are dirty, this may cause ignition
problems. Clean the ignition plugs regularly with a small
non-metallic brush. Take care to prevent the ignition
plugs from suffering any heavy knocks.
Your gas hob comes with ignition plugs for electrical
ignition.

2 Press the corresponding control knob in and turn it
anti-clockwise to the required position.The burner

3 Keep the control knob pressed in for a few seconds
after ignition.
The flame height can be infinitely varied between high
and low heat by turning the control knob slowly.

Risk of deflagration!
If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, switch off
the control knob and open the door or window in the
room. Wait at least a minute before igniting the burner
again.

Lighting manually

In the event of a power cut, you can light the burners
manually.
1 Place suitable cookware on the required burner.
2 Press the corresponding control knob in and turn it
anti-clockwise to the required position.Keep the
control knob pressed in.
3 Light the burner with a gas lighter or a match. Keep
the control knob pressed in for a few seconds after
ignition.

Switching off

Turn the control knob you require clockwise to
position 0.

Thermoelectric flame monitoring

For your safety, the hob is fitted with thermoelectric
flame monitoring. This prevents the flow of gas if the
burner accidentally goes out while it is in use (e.g. due
to draughts).
If the burner accidentally goes out while it is in use, turn
the control knob to position 0 and wait at least one
minute before you ignite the burner again.
