Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0340032A2] A cooking appliance, especially in the form of a gas hob, comprises at least one electrical gas flow control valve (13) operable for controlling gas flow to a burner (2) of the appliance, and an ignition arrangement (9) for igniting the burner (2). It is arranged that when the control valve (13) is turned ON it is set to a position which is between its minimum and maximum flow positions, at which position the ignition arrangement (9) operates in order to ignite the burner (2), thereby reducing the time between effecting operation of the control valve (13) and ignition taking place.
