[. . . ] It is for this reason that a professionally qualified person should undertake the task who will carry it out in accordance with the technical regulations in force. In the event that this advice is ignored and the installation is carried out by an unqualified person, the manufacturer declines all responsibility for any technical failure of the product whether or not it results in damage to goods or injury to individuals. Both the worktop where the hob will be fitted and any adjacent kitchen furniture must be made from heat resistant material and fixed with heat resistant adhesive. If, when installing the hob, the lower hob face is adjacent to an area normally accessible when handling or cleaning, fit a heatproof partition 1 cm below the base of the hob with a 10X10 cm opening at the rear right-hand corner, to avoid any risk of scorching or damage. [. . . ] A) Natural gas : - unscrew the by-pass screw one turn, - replace the combined control-knob, light the burner and set to low flame, - remove the combined control-knob again, screw the by-pass screw until a reduced flame is obtained, staying stable when going from high to low position. B ) Butane- propane gas : the setting is done by screwing right in (without forcing) the by-pass screw whose calibrated hole provides the minimum flow. Warning : never losen the others screws!Each burner is contolled by a tap with progressive settings allowing: * a wider choice of settings from the maximum position to the lowest and most precise one, * easier flame regulation according to the pan diameter, * no risk of cutting off the flame or switching off when the flame is turned down quickly. IGNITION RECOMMENDATIONS : when the burners are not in service, the general gas supply tap should always be turned off. A symbol next to each control knob indicates which burner is lit. ⷠTurn and press in the relevant burner control knob to the symbol, keeping it pressed in until the flame ignites. on models fitted with electronic ignition the flame is ignited by an electric spark. This is operated by the button or by pressing the knob (for models with ignition under the knob). For models not fitted with electronic ignition, or if there is no electric power, light the flame with a match. NB: for models fitted with the SAFETY thermocouple, keep the knob pressed in for a few seconds in order to activate the safety system. If the knob is released straightaway there is not time for the safety system to be activated and the flame goes out. If this happens, repeat the ignition procedure from the beginning waiting longer after the flame is lit. The rapid thermocouple safety device automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame is accidentally extinguished. If there are particular local gas supply conditions which make ignition difficult, you are advised to repeat the ignition procedure, turning the knob to "minimum". ⷠSet the flame according to your cooking requirements. Intermediate positions are available between the maximum and minimum settings on the control knob. ⷠTo turn the flame out, turn the control knob back to stop position. ⷠIf the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the knob to "0", wait one minute and then try to ignite again.
