Switching on automatically

If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition

sparkers):

Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it

anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.

While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are

produced on all burners. The flame ignites.

Release the control knob.

Turn the control knob to the required setting.

If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off setting

and repeat the steps above. This time, press and hold the

control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).

Risk of deflagration!

If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite, switch off the

burner and open a nearby window or door. Wait at least one

minute before trying to switch the burner back on.

Safety system

Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety system

(thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the burners

accidentally switch off.

To ensure that this device is active:

Switch on the burner as usual.

Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it down

firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.

Switching off a burner

Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 setting.

Power levels

The progressive control knobs can be used to control the

power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

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.
