MODELS EQUIPPED WITH LIGHTER SWITCH (Automatic ignition)

To burn one of the burners, press the switch down and bring the switch to the maximum position. When it burns, the flame is adjusted to the desired intensity with the switch.

OPERATION

Turn the control switch left-wise until reaching the maximum level. When you press the control switch, all burning igniters will activate. Release the switch a few seconds after the burner lights up, and then adjust the control switch to the desired flame position between the maximum and minimum levels.

If the flame goes out when you release the switch, repeat the process, but this time press and hold the switch for about 10 seconds.

WARNING: Do not use the burning system for more than 15 seconds. If the burner does not ignite within this time, or if the flame is cut for any reason, repeat the burning process after waiting for 1 minute.

CLOSING THE BURNERS

Turn the control switch right-wise to close the hob.

FLAME FAILURE DEVICE (FFD)

All burners on your hob are equipped with a Flame Failure Device system to prevent gas flow if the flame is extinguished (due to water flow, wind etc.).
