Flame safeguard
The gas hob is fitted with a safety system that will stop
the flow of gas if for any reason the flame goes out
during operation. If this happens, the burner can be
restarted, but will require the knob to remain depressed
for approximately 5 seconds.
WARNING
!
• Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.
•
If burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn knob
to ‘Off’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try lighting
again.
• Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and
‘LOW’ settings only.
ENVIRONMENT!
To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner
and adjust the flame so that it does not go past the edge
of the cookware.
NOTE: In the absence of electrical power, carry out
the ignition directly to the burner with a hand held
ignition source.
