Safety system

Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety

system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the

burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this device

is active, switch on the burner as usual and, without

releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly

for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.

Switching off a burner

Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0

setting.

Power levels

The progressive control knobs can be used to control the

power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

Warnings

It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the

burner is operating.
When it is 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.
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.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition

sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them

periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind

that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious

impacts.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by

the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas

appliance is used.
You must therefore ensure that the kitchen is well

ventilated: either keep the natural ventilation apertures

open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood).
If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods,

you may require additional ventilation (e.g. by opening a
