During Use
λThis hob is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.
λWhen 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.

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.

Operation
Hob burners
Φ To light a burner:
λPush in the relevant control knob and turn it to maximum position.
λUpon 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.
λThen adjust the flame as required.
λIf the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
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 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 washing 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, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply and call your nearest Service Force Centre.
Pan Supports |
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
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 FO2265 screws as shown in fig. 2. 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.
