Operation of burners with safety device and electric ignition

To light one of the burners:

• Press the relative knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the large flame setting .

• At the same time, press the button with the star . The spark plug gives out a spark that causes the burner to ignite.

• Once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds.

• Release the knob.

If the burner does not ignite, repeat the operation.

NOTES: In case of installation of a hood above the cooktop, please refer to the hood instructions for

the correct distance.

Note:

Should particular local conditions of the delivered gas

make the ignition of the burner difficult, it is advisable to repeat the operation with the knob turned to the small flame setting .

The burner safety system serves to prevent the emission of gas if the flame should be extinguished accidentally (draughts, interruptions in gas supply, dousing with liquids, etc.).
