Operation
Hob Burners
To light a burner:
F
l push in the relevant control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to maximum position;
l upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 -
letter C) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted;
l then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.

B - Ignition electrode
C - Thermocouple
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Centre.
If scratches or cracks are noticed on the hob
glass top, disconnect the appliance from the
electrical supply and call your nearest
Service Force Centre.
