Troubleshooting
Burner won't light or ignition spark is weak.
- Check if the gas supply valve is open. 2. Ensure the burner cap and crown are correctly positioned and clean. Obstructions can prevent the spark from reaching the gas. 3. Clean the igniter electrode with a small brush to remove any food debris. 4. If issues persist, there might be a gas flow problem or a faulty igniter; consult a qualified gas engineer.
Flame is weak, yellow, or uneven.
- Check if the burner ports are blocked by food residue; clean them thoroughly once the hob is cool. 2. Ensure the burner cap and crown are aligned properly. 3. A yellow or erratic flame can indicate improper gas/air mixture or low gas pressure. This requires inspection by a qualified gas engineer.
Gas smell detected near the hob.
Immediately turn off all burners and the main gas supply valve. Open windows and doors for ventilation. Do NOT operate any electrical switches. Contact a qualified gas engineer or your gas provider for emergency assistance immediately.
Control knobs are stiff or difficult to turn.
Food debris or liquid spills can sometimes get under the control knobs. Gently pull off the knobs and clean the area underneath with a damp cloth. Ensure no liquid enters the mechanism. If stiffness persists, do not force the knob; consult a service technician.
