Operation

Hob burners

) To light a burner:

zPush in the relevant control knob and turn it to maximum position.

zUpon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (fig. 1 - letter C) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.

zThen adjust the flame as required.

zIf 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).

	Burner	minimum	maximum
		diameter	diameter
	Large(ultra-rapid)	180 mm.	260 mm.
	Medium (semi-rapid)	120 mm.	220 mm.
	Small (Auxiliary)	80 mm.	160 mm.
	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 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; - impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick

saucepans;

-steel wool pads;

-bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following product s are recommended:

- for stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner;

- for other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.

If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply and call your nearest Service Force Centre.

	Pan Supports
		Fig. 3
	To keep the pan supports in the correct position,
	they are mounted on metal pins located in the back
	of the hob.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.
	The Burners	FO2265
	The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
	cleaning. The cap and crown of each burner are
	secured with two screws. To separate the two pieces, lift the cap, turn it upside down, then

undo the two fixing screws as shown in fig. 3. After cleaning, reassemble the two parts and refit the cap on its correct position on the burner. 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 (fig. 1 - letter B). Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.

Something Not Working?

If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force Centre.

SYMPTOM	SOLUTION
There is no spark when lighting the gas	Check that the unit is plugged in and the
	electrical supply is switched on
	CheckthattheRCCBhasnottripped(iffitted)
	Check the mains fuse has not blown
	Check the burner cap and crown have been
	replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
The gas ring burns unevenly	Check the main jet is not blocked and the
	burner crown is clear of food particles.
	Check the burner cap and crown have been
	replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.

If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate correctly, contact your local Service Force Centre.

Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of purchase for any inguarantee service calls.

In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
