Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours. This does not pose any risk and does not
indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids,
etc.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch
off the burner operating control knob and do not try to
relight it for at least 1 minute.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean
them periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in
mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any
serious impacts.
