Instructions for the User

10.STANDARD ACCESSORIES

9.3 Switching on

To check that the burners have ignited, hold one of your hands about 10 cm above the grids: you should

feel a gradually increasing amount of heat.

When lighting the rapid or auxiliary burners, keep the knob pressed down for about 2 seconds to

allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this means that

the thermocouple has not warmed up enough. Repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed down for

longer.

If the burners have not ignited after several attempts, wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the

appliance again. This pause is necessary to allow any gas which has built up inside the appliance to

disperse. If no flame is obtained even after numerous attempts, contact your nearest authorised service

centre.

9.3.1 Electronic burner ignition

The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (See “The control panel” on page 32). To light the

flame, simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the minimum flame value and press the

ignition button. To adjust the flame, turn the knob to the zone between the maximum ( ) and the

minimum ( ) settings. To turn off the burner, turn the knob back to the OFF position.

9.3.2 Manual burner ignition (for internal burners only)

The barbecue's internal burners can be lit using a long match or with the aid of a piezoelectric kitchen

lighter. Lift the plate above the burner to be lit, place the lit match or piezoelectric lighter next to the

burner and turn its control knob to the maximum flame setting. Take great care not to allow large

amounts of unburnt gas to escape. If the burner has not lit after 3 seconds, turn the knob to OFF and

repeat the operation a few minutes later.

When lighting more than one burner by hand, the most efficient method is to light the central burner as

described above and then turn the knobs of the burners next to the one just lit to use the inter-ignition

function. Burner inter-ignition is possible if one or more adjacent burners are lit.

Before removing the grid to light the burner by hand, make sure that it is not hot.

If the burner does not light even in manual mode after a few attempts, call the after-sales service.
