5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Igniting a Burner

1. Place your cookware on the chosen burner's cast iron grate.
2. Push down and turn the corresponding control knob counter-clockwise to the maximum flame position (large flame symbol).
3. Hold the knob down for a few seconds until the flame ignites. The integrated ignition system will spark automatically.
4. Once the flame is stable, release the knob. If the flame extinguishes, repeat the process, holding the knob down slightly longer.

5.2 Adjusting the Flame (Chef-flamme Technology)

The Chef-flamme technology allows for precise control over the flame intensity with 9 distinct power settings.

• After ignition, turn the control knob to the desired flame size. The knob will click into specific positions, indicating the 9 power levels.
• A larger flame is suitable for rapid boiling or searing.
• A smaller flame is ideal for simmering or keeping food warm.

5.3 Thermocouple Safety System

Your Rosieres gas hob is equipped with a thermocouple safety device on each burner. This system is designed to prevent gas leaks.

• If a flame accidentally extinguishes (e.g., due to a draft or liquid boiling over), the thermocouple sensor will cool down.
• This cooling signals the system to automatically cut off the gas supply to that specific burner, preventing unburnt gas from escaping.
• To re-ignite the burner, wait a few moments for the system to reset, then follow the ignition steps (Section 5.1).

5.4 Turning Off a Burner

To turn off a burner, simply turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the "OFF" position (small dot symbol).

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep your gas hob in excellent condition and ensure safe operation. Always ensure the appliance is cool and disconnected from the power supply before cleaning.

6.1 Cleaning the Stainless Steel Surface

• Use a soft cloth or sponge with warm soapy water.
• For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
• Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent scratching.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals.

6.2 Cleaning Cast Iron Grates and Burner Components
