USING THE COOKTOP
The symbols on the Control Panel fascias show which burner the Control Knob operates.
Dependent on the model there are two methods for igniting the burners.
1.
Auto Ignition
After pressing in and turning the appropriate knob anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol;
the ignition spark will operate as long as the knob is pressed down. When a flame has been
established the knob can be released.
2.
Manual Ignition
After pressing in and turning the appropriate knob anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol,
press the ignition button located on the control panel. The ignition spark will operate as long as
the button is held down. When a flame has been established, release the button. To regulate
the flame, continue turning anti-clockwise to the required setting between the large and small
flame symbols. To turn the burner off, turn fully clockwise.
NOTE: When a Thermocouple Safety Device is incorporated in the appliance, it is necessary for the
knob to be continuously held down for a further period of approximately 10 seconds after the flame has
been established to enable the thermocouple to function. The Safety Device is designed to stop the
flow of gas to the burner head in the event of a flame out situation.
