Hob burners
To light a burner:
z Push in the relevant control knob and turn it to maximum position.
z Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (fig. 1 - letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off,
otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
z Then adjust the flame as required.
z If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
Each control knob is equipped with a pilot light which gradually lights up according to the heat
level that you select with the control knob.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
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 (ultra-rapid) 180 mm 260 mm
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm 220 mm
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm 160 mm
Operation
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down
the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
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.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Service Force Centre.
Using the Wok Stand
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use
a round bottomed wok on the hob. The wok
stand must only be used on the central burner,
and should not be used with any other type
of wok or pan. When fitting the wok stand,
ensure the recessesd in the frame fit securely
onto the bars of the pan supports, as shown
in figure 2.
