FAQs
Does this cooker require a professional gas installation?

Is the hob suitable for all types of pans?

What does the A+ energy rating mean?
An A+ energy rating indicates that the cooker operates with high energy efficiency, consuming less energy during use compared to lower-rated appliances, which can help reduce your utility bills and environmental impact.
Can I convert this cooker to use LPG?
This cooker is typically supplied configured for natural gas. Conversion to LPG is possible but requires a specific conversion kit and must be performed by a qualified gas engineer. Please consult your user manual and a professional.
Why is my auto ignition not sparking?
First, ensure the cooker is plugged into a live electrical outlet. Then, check that the burner cap and crown are clean and correctly seated, as food debris can obstruct the spark. If the issue persists, contact customer service or a service technician.
Troubleshooting
Burner will not ignite with Auto Ignition.
Ensure the cooker is properly plugged into the electrical outlet. Check if the gas supply valve is open. Clean the burner cap and crown, as food debris can block the spark. If the issue persists, contact a qualified technician.
Oven is not heating up.
Verify that the gas supply valve for the cooker is fully open. Check if the oven control knob is correctly set to a temperature and the oven timer (if applicable) is not set to off. If the pilot light (if present) has gone out, follow manual instructions to re-light it, or consult a professional.
Gas smell when cooker is in use.
Immediately turn off all burners and the oven, and close the main gas supply valve. Open windows for ventilation. Do NOT operate any electrical switches or create a spark. Evacuate the premises and contact your gas supplier's emergency line and a qualified gas engineer immediately.
