Lighting the appliance
The ignition system works by means of a battery. Details on how to replace the battery are given on page 28.
Hotplate
To light
1 Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hotplate when the lid is down. 2 Push in the control knob and turn to the large flame symbol (highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When the burner has lit release the button.
Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of gas may cause the flame to spread.
For your safety
If you close the lid of the appliance while any of the hotplate burners are lit the gas will go out. This is because it would be dangerous if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed. Always use the control knob to turn off a burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is opened. Always use the marked area to lower the lid.
