Operation

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely

keep the liquid simmering.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the

flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to

overheat.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could

easily ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service

Force Centre.

Hob burners

To light a burner:

! Push in the relevant control knob

and turn it to maximum position.

! Upon ignition, keep the knob

pushed down about 5 seconds.

This will allow the

"thermocouple" (see diagram-

letter D) to be heated and the

safety device to be switched off,

otherwise the gas supply would

be interrupted.

! Then adjust the flame as required.

! If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.

Each control knob is equipped with a pilot light which gradually lights up

according to the heat level that you select with the control knob.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite

normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans

with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).
