control for approximately 5 – 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the control
too soon will extinguish the flame. See the ‘Flame Failure Safety Feature’ section.

There is an
electricity failure
• If there is an electricity failure, you can still use your hob. Light the burners by holding
a candle lighter close to the side of the burner and turning the control to the High
position. Wait until the flame is burning evenly before adjusting. The control must still
be held down for 5 – 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the control too
soon will extinguish the flame.
