Switching on manually
1. Press the control knob for the selected burner and
turn it anticlockwise to the highest power setting.
2. Hold an igniter or a naked flame (such as a lighter or
a match) against the burner.
Automatic ignition
If the hob has automatic ignition (ignition plugs):
1. Press the control knob for the selected burner and
turn it anticlockwise to the highest power level.
While the control knob is held down, all the burners
will generate sparks and the ³ symbol will appear on
the display. The flame ignites. Wait a few seconds.
2. Release the control knob.
3. Turn the control knob to the required position.
If the burner does not ignite, switch it off and repeat the
steps described above. This time, hold the control knob
down for longer (up to 10 seconds).
:Warning – Risk of deflagration!
If the flame does not ignite after 10 seconds, switch off
the burner and open a window or the door to the room.
Wait at least one minute before switching the burner on
again.
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.
Safety system
Your hob is equipped with a safety system
(thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners
are accidentally switched off.
To ensure that this device is active:
1. Switch on the burner as usual.
2. Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Switching off a burner
Turn the control knob clockwise to position 0. The ‹
symbol will appear in the display and the residual heat
indicator will appear after a few seconds.
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.
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.
JSettings table and tips
Se t t i n g s tabl e and tips
Suitable pans
The cookware must not overhang the edge of the hob.
Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save
energy and prevent pan damage:
Burner Minimum diame-
ter of the cook-
ware base
Maximum diame-
ter of the cookware
base
Wok burner 22 cm 30 cm
High-output burner 20 cm 26 cm
Standard-output burner 14 cm 22 cm
Economy burner 12 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.
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.
