Gas burners
Burner Mounting
It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts
and pan supports are properly assembled on
the appliance to work correctly. A blue and
stable flame shows the proper burner
operation.
Do not remove the burner caps during the use.
Place all the elements of the burner like in the
below picture:
Safety system
Each burner is equipped with a safety system
(thermocouple) and an ignition system. The
ignition starts automatically once a power level
is selected on the cooking zone. If the flame
accidentally goes out the ignition will start
again. These two elements must be kept clean.
Please note:
- The ignition device should not be operated for more than 10 seconds.
- If a burner does not ignite or turns off accidentally, switch the burner off “0”position,
and wait for one minute before attempting to reignite the burner.

Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the
heat brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts at high
speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces it's speed and stops
automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.
STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
Induction principle
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable
electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the
pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be adapted:
•All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it with a little magnet): cast iron
and steel pans, enameled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
•Are excluded: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware,…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. With a too small
diameter the pan doesn’t work. This diameter varies depending on the size of the zone
diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].
Power selection zone “SLIDER” and timer setting zone
Select the cooking zone. The display corresponding to the selected zone will be highlighted.
While the zone is activated (for a few seconds), you can adjust the power, either by sliding your
finger on the slider, or by direct access.
To adjust the power of another cooking zone, wait until the previous zone is no longer
activated (the highlighted display becomes normal).
