During Use
z This hob is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or

z When in use a gas cooking hob will produce heat and moisture in the room in which
it has been installed. Ensure there is a continuous air supply, keeping air vents in
good condition or installing a cooker hood with a venting hose.

Description of the Hob
INSTALLATION
Any gas installation must be carried out by a registered CORGI installer, and in
accordance with existing rules and regulations.
The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual.
Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the
event of a breakdown.
WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED
Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which
were put on in the factory.

Hob burners
To light a burner:
z Push in the relevant control knob and turn it to maximum position.
z Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (fig. 1 - letter D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off,
otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
z Then adjust the flame as required.
z 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).
Burner minimum maximum

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.
It is highly recommended that cast-iron pots
and pans are only used on the central and
rear burners so that damage is not caused to
the electronic components.
Using the Wok Stand
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a
round bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand
must only be used on the central burner, and should
not be used with any other type of wok or pan.
When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in
the frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan
supports, as shown in figure 2.

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
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. 3. 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
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 (fig.
1 - letter C). 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
There is no spark when lighting the gas
The gas ring burns unevenly
SOLUTION
Check that the unit is plugged in and the
electrical supply is switched on
Check that the RCCB has not tripped (if fitted)
Check the mains fuse has not blown
Check the burner cap and crown have been
replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
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 in-
guarantee 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.
