Gas burners

There are indications to show which burner each control knob operates.

It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan supports are correctly installed for the appliance to work correctly.

Switching on manually

1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the required setting.
2. Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter, matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner.

Switching on automatically

If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition sparkers):

1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum power setting. While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are produced on all burners. The flame ignites.
2. Release the control knob.
3. Turn the control knob to the required setting.

If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).

Risk of deflagration!

If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite, switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door. Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner back on.

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.

thermocouple lignition sparker

To ensure that this device is active:

1. Switch on the burner as usual.
2. 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.

Setting	●	Control knob off
High flame	◎	Maximum capacity or aperture and elec-tricity on
Low flame	◎	Minimum capacity or aperture

Warnings

It is normal to hear a soft 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.

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).

Intense and prolonged use of the appliance may mean additional ventilation is required (for example, opening a window) or more effective ventilation (for example, increasing the hob's ventilation, if possible).

If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight it for at least one minute.

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.

Wok pan The wok pan diffuses intense heat uniformly, so that the food is cooked in less time and using less oil. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when cooking with a wok pan.

Precautions for use

The following advice is intended to help you save energy and prevent pan damage:

Use pans which are the right size for each burner.

Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame must not touch the sides of the pan.

Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the hob. Pans may tip over.

Only use pans with a thick, flat base.

Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is properly fitted. This wastes energy.

Always centre the pan over the burner, not to one side. Otherwise it could tip over.

Do not place large pans on the burners near the control knobs. These may be damaged by the very high temperatures.

Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on the burner.

Make sure that the pan supports and burner caps are correctly positioned before using the appliance.

Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.

Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.

Never use two burners or heat sources to heat one single pan.

Do not use grill pans,
earthenware casserole dishes,
etc. for a long period of time
on maximum power.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap and water.

After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.

The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports.

Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and scrub with a non-wire brush.

If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan support may scratch the hob.

Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking may damage the enamel.

After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.

Caution!

• Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.
• Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food from the hob.
• Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements to clean the point where the glass meets the burner trims, the metal frames or the glass/aluminium panels, if fitted.

Maintenance

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface and you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.

Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may scratch it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass. Never strike any part of the hob.

Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and vegetables will scratch the glass surface.

Melted sugar, or foods which contain a lot of sugar which may have spilt, should be cleaned off the hotplate immediately, using the glass scraper.

Trouble shooting

Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved. Before calling the Technical Assistance Service, bear in mind the following advice:

Fault	Possible cause	Solution
