Gas burners

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

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.

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 electricity 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.

Precautions for use

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

kg

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.

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.
  If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never use a knife, scraper or similar implement to clean the point where it joins the metal.

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.

Due to the high temperatures endured, the wok burner and the stainless steel zones (grease drip tray, burner outline, etc.) can change colour. This is normal. After each use, clean these areas with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.

It is recommended that the cleaning product available from our Technical Assistance Service (code 464524) is used regularly.

Caution!

The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.

Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.

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
The general electrical sys-tem is malfunctioning.	Defective fuse. Check the fuse in the main fuse box and change it if it is damaged.
	The automatic safety switch or circuit breaker has tripped.	Check the main control panel to see if the auto-matic safety switch or circuit breaker has tripped.
The automatic switching on function does not work.	There may be food or cleaning products stuck between the ignition sparkers and the burners.	The space between the ignition sparker and the burner must be clean.
	The burners are wet. Dry the burner caps carefully.
	The burner caps are not correctly positioned. Check that the covers are correctly positioned.
	The appliance is not earthed, is poorly connected or the earthing is faulty.	Contact the installation technician.
The burner flame is not uni-form.	The burner components are not correctly posi-tioned.	Ensure the components are correctly positioned.
	The grooves on the burner are dirty. Clean the grooves on the burner.
The gas flow is not normal or there is no gas.	The gas supply is blocked via intermediary valves. Open all gas taps.
	If the gas is supplied from a gas cylinder, check that this is not empty.	Change the gas cylinder.
The kitchen smells of gas. A gas tap has been left on. Turn off the taps.
			Incorrect coupling of gas cylinder. Check that the coupling is sound.
			Possible gas leak. Shut off the gas supply, ventilate the premises and immediately notify an authorised installation tech-nician so that they can check and certify the instal-lation. Do not use the appliance until you are sure that there is no gas leak in the installation or appli-ance itself.
The safety valves on one of the burners are not work-ing.	The control knob was not held down for long enough.	Once the burner is on, hold the control knob down a few seconds longer.
	The grooves on the burner are dirty. Clean the grooves on the burner.

Used appliances and packaging

If the ⚙ symbol is shown on the specifications plate, bear in mind the following instructions:

Environmentally-friendly waste management

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging by environmentally-friendly means.

The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured using only the materials which are strictly necessary to guarantee efficient protection during transport. These materials are 100% recyclable, thus reducing the environmental impact. You can also contribute to caring for the environment by following the advice below:

■ Dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling bin.
Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you disable it. Contact your local authority to find out the address of your nearest recycling centre to dispose of your appliance.
- Do not pour used oil down the sink. Collect it in a sealed container and take it to an appropriate collection point or, failing that, place it in the rubbish bin (it will end up in a controlled dump; this is probably not the best option, but it will avoid contaminating ground water)

This appliance complies with European directive 2002/96/EC on electrical and electronic equipment identified as WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment).
