This appliance must be used for the purpose it was designed for, i.e. domestic
cooking. Any other use is considered to be improper and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer will accept no liability for any damage caused by improper,
incorrect or irrational use.
Using the burners
• If the burners are not used for several days, wait a few seconds before lighting
them in order to release any air from the pipes.
• As the cook top burners are fitted with an automatic ignition, to light them simply
press and turn the handle to the small star. The appliance uses a spark ignition
generator.
• If the flame does not ignite within five seconds, turn the knob back to the 0 position
and repeat the procedure; if the electric ignition should not work due to a power
failure or damp spark plugs, the gas can also be ignited using a match or a gas
lighter.
• For models with a safety tap (which interrupt the gas flow should the flame
accidentally go out) the burners are ignited as described above, but ensure the
knob is pressed in for 5 to 6 seconds after the flame has ignited. After this
time, which gives the safety device enough time to cut-in, the flame will be on
permanently.
• The flame can then be set between the maximum and minimum level. Any setting
between 0 and the large flame is not recommended, as the flame is not stable in
this interval and may be extinguished.
WARNING: once the cook top has been cleaned, ensure that the burners are
firmly in their seats and do not interfere with the igniter.
