Correct positioning of the hob grids
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure 
that the grids are correctly positioned on the 
hob.
Bear in mind that:
• Each grid has its own position on the 
hob.
• The raised section must always face the 
appliance's upstand.
• The left-hand (A) and right-hand (C) 
grids have one thicker edge which must 
be turned to face the side of the 
appliance.
• The edges of the centre grid (B) are of 
the same thickness.
