Accessories The following accessories can be purchased from the Technical Assistance Service: The manufacturer accepts no liability if these accessories are not used or are used incorrectly. Gas burners Remove the plastic covering used to protect the stainless steel before using the appliance (depending on the model). If any traces of adhesive remain on the printed areas, remove them with a wet cloth. 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. Do not swap the burner caps around. 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. Additional coffee maker sup- port Only for use on the auxiliary burner with pans which are no more than 12 cm in diameter. Simmer Plate This accessory has been designed to reduce the level of heat at the lowest power setting. Place the accessory directly on the pan support with the cones facing upwards, never directly over the burner. Cen- tre the pan over the acces- sory. Simmer Cap Burner specially designed to cook at minimum power. In order to use it, remove the auxiliary burner and replace it with the Simmer Cap burner.18 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:

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. Warnings It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is operating. When 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. 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 1 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.
