Operating Instructions
Your Simfer H4.305.HGSSP gas hob features three burners, each controlled by a dedicated knob.
Igniting a Burner
- Ensure the gas supply to the hob is open.
- Push and turn the control knob for the desired burner counter-clockwise to the maximum flame position (large flame symbol).
- Hold the knob in for a few seconds to allow the flame failure device (if present) to activate.
