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.

Precautions for use

The following advice is intended to help you save energy and

prevent pan damage:

Maximum pan

diameter

26 cm

20 cm

16 cm

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.

Do not cook without using a lid

and make sure the lid is

properly fitted. This wastes

energy.

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.

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.

Pans should be placed on the

hob carefully.

Do not strike the hob and do

not place excessive weight on

it.
