The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual.

Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner:
!Push in the relevant control knob and turn it to maximum position.
!Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (see diagramletter D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
A - Burner cap B - Burner crown
C - Ignition electrode D - Thermocouple
!Then adjust the flame as required.
!If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
Each control knob is equipped with a pilot light which gradually lights up according to the heat level that you select with the control knob.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as |
YES |
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to |
|
cool. |
|
The Hob Top |
|
|
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth |
|
|
well wrung out in warm water to which a little wasing |
|
|
up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the |
|
|
following: |
|
|
- household detergent and bleaches; |
NO |
|
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick |
||
saucepans; |
|
|
- steel wool pads; |
|
|
- bath/sink stain removers. |
|
|
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the |
Fig. 2 |
|
following product s are recommended: |
|
|
- for stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless |
|
|
steel cleaner; |
Fig. 1 |
|
- for other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend. |
|
|
If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect |
|
|
the appliance from the electrical supply to avoid |
|
|
the risk of electric shock and call your nearest |
|
|
Service Force Centre. |
|
|
Pan Supports |
|
|
To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they |
|
|
are mounted on metal pins located in the back of the |
|
|
hob. To ensure a better cleaning, pan supports can |
|
|
be removed from the hob. Lift up the pan suports |
Fig. 2 |
|
keeping them in horizontal position as shown in fig. |
||
|
||
1. |
|
Avoid lifting the pan supports at an angle, as this will put strain on the metal pins. This may damage the pins and cause them to break.
After cleaning the hob, ensure the pan supports are properly placed as shown in fig. 2. The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.
7
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning. Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "electrode" and a metal electrode (see figure-page 6 - letter C).
Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.
