Ignition of Burners Equipped with Safety Thermocouples
If the gas burners are equipped with safety thermocouples, the thermocouple is part of
the flame failure device (FFD). A FFD is designed to stop flammable gas going to the
burner if the flame is extinguished. This is to prevent a dangerous build up of gas around
the appliance.
After the burner is lit, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds to allow the safety
thermocouples to warm up. If the burner fails to stay alight, it means the safety
thermocouple is not heated sufficiently. Turn the knob back to OFF position and repeat the
process.
Optimum Use of the Burners
To get the maximum yield with minimum gas consumption, please keep the following
points in mind:
•Once the burner is lit, adjust the flame according to your needs.
•Use an appropriate pan and with flat bottom for each burner (see the table and figure
below).
•When the pan content starts to boil, turn the knob down to “Reduced rated position”
(small flame).
•Always put a lid on the pan.
