Operation

Hob burners

To light a burner:

)

z push in the relevant control and turn it to maximum

position;

z upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about five

seconds.

z then adjust the flame as required.

z If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to

zero, and try again.

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.

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 (rapid) 160 mm. 240 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 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 and the aluminium frame 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.

The Burners

Pan Supports

The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner. Never use steel wool pads or acids.

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 crown, turn it upside down, then undo the two fixing screws as shown in the diagram. 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.
