Safety system

Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety system
(thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the burners
accidentally switch off.

Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is
operating.
When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours. This does not pose any risk and does not indicate a
malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the
presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas
appliance is used. You must therefore ensure that the kitchen is
well ventilated: Either keep the natural ventilation apertures
open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood).
Intense and prolonged use of the appliance may mean
additional ventilation is required (for example, opening a
window) or more effective ventilation (for example, increasing
the hob's ventilation, if possible).
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the
burner operating control knob and do not try to relight it for at
least one minute.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound (thud)
will be produced. This is not a fault - this means that the safety
device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition sparkers
are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them periodically
using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the ignition
sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts.
