If the Burner Does Not Light
If the burner does not light, check that:
• The cooker is switched on at the mains supply to enable the ignition circuit to work.
• The gas is turned on.
• You have held in the control for at least 5 to 10 seconds.
• The ignitors are sparking. If the ignitors are not sparking,
they may be dirty or wet. Clean them gently with a small
nylon brush such as a toothbrush as shown.
If the Flame Is Irregular
If the ame is yellow or irregular, check that the burner parts, including the burner cap, are:
• Clean and dry.
• Positioned correctly. See ‘Replacing the Burners’.

• Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the edges of your hob as this can deect heat onto your
worktop and damage the surface.
• Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the trivet/pan support or deect
the ame.
• Always lift the cookware when removing from the hob, do not drag.
• Always position pans over the centre of the cooking zone, and turn the handles to a safe position so they
cannot be knocked, grabbed or positioned over a burner.
• When you need to boil, simmer or fry food, rst set the temperature to the high position. Once the food
is boiling, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady ow of heat to cook your food thoroughly. Doing this
will reduce the cooking time.
• Your cooker has burners of dierent diameters. The most economical way of using gas is to choose the correct
size gas burners for your cooking pan size and to bring the ame to minimum position once the boiling point
has been reached. It is recommended to always cover your cooking pan.
• In order to obtain maximum performance from the main burners, use saucepans with the following at bottom
diameters. Using smaller saucepans than the minimum dimensions stated below will cause energy loss.
• Saucepan sizes should be as per the table shown below.
Burners Diameter Minimum Diameter Maximum Diameter
Small (Simmer) 9 cm 15 cm
Standard 16 cm 22 cm
Large (Fast) 20 cm 24 cm
General Guidelines
To get the best out of your hob, follow these simple suggestions:
• Use saucepans with thick at bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take longer to cook.
