If it does not light in the first 15 seconds, position the knob on 0 and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light it again. On valved models, once the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to give the thermocouple time to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: in this case, the thermocouple has not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat the operation keeping the knob pressed for longer. This is not necessary on burners that are not equipped with a thermocouple. On models with a thermocouple, if the burners should go out accidentally a safety device will be tripped, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open. In this case, turn the knob to the OFF position and wait at least 60 seconds before trying to light the burner again. 6. 2 Practical hints for using the hob burners For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption: use pans with lids and of a suitable size for the burner, so that flames do not reach up the sides of the pan (see paragraph "6. 3 Pan Diameters"). Once the contents come to the boil, turn down the flame far enough to ensure that the liquid does not boil over. To prevent burns or damage to the hob during cooking, all pans or griddles must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob. All pans must have smooth, flat bottoms. This necessary operation avoids any oxidation (rust). · When cooking food with oil or fat, which are highly flammable, never leave the appliance unattended. · Even after use the plates stay hot for a long time: to avoid getting burned, do not place your hand or other objects on top of them. · Before switching on the electric plates, lift the glass cooker lid; before closing it again, turn off all the plates and wait for them to cool down. · As soon as you notice a crack on the surface of the plates, immediately disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and contact the nearest authorised technical assistance centre. 50 Instructions for the user 7 USING THE OVEN In models with an electronic programmer, before using the oven make sure that In models with an analogue clock and a timer knob, it should be set to . is on the display. 7. 1 Warnings and general advice Before using the oven and the grill for the first time, pre-heat to their maximum temperature (260°C for electric ovens and 275°C for gas ovens) long enough to burn away any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad smell.
