Gas burners Operation

There are indications to show which burner each control knob operates. Fig. 1.

It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan supports are correctly installed for the appliance to work correctly. Fig. 2-3.

Switching on manually

1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the required setting.

2. Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter, matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner.

Switching on automatically

If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition sparkers):

1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum power setting. While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer necessary to press down the control knob).

2. Turn the control knob to the required setting. If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off

setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).

Warning! If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite, switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door. Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner on.

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

Safety system

Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this device is active, switch on the burner as usual and, without releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.

Switching off a burner

Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 setting.

Power levels

The progressive control knobs can be used to control the power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

For dual double-flame burners, the inner and outer flames can be controlled separately.

The available power levels are as follows:

Inner and outer flame on full power.

Outer flame on minimum, inner flame on full power.

Inner flame on full power.

Main switch/Hob lock

The hob may have a main switch to cut off the main gas supply and switch off all the burners at the same time. This switch is very practical if there are children in the house, or, if for any reason, all the burners must be switched off quickly.

To lock the hob:

1. Press the main switch.

This switches off all the burners which are on. The hob is locked.

To unlock the hob:

1. Turn all the control knobs to the "off" position.

2. Press the main switch and turn it fully clockwise. The mains gas supply is turned on.

You can now use your hob normally.

Warnings

It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the burner is operating.

When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours; this does not pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction; they will disappear in time.

A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound (thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means that the safety device is no longer operating.

Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts.

An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc. The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas appliance is used.

Inner flame on minimum power.

You must therefore ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood).

If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods, you may require additional ventilation (e.g. by opening a window) or more effective ventilation (e.g. by increasing the hob's ventilation, if possible).

If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight it for at least one minute.

Suitable pans

Wok pan A wok is a cooking vessel originating in China; it is a kind

of deep, round, lightweight pan with handles and a flat or concave base. Food can be prepared in various ways in a wok: it can be stewed, stir fried, cooked on a low heat, pan-fried or steamed. It could be said that woks serve as both as a saucepan and a frying pan and, owing to their shape and size, they can be used to cook quite large ingredients. When cooking with a wok, heat is diffused more uniformly and gently; the intense heat which accumulates means that food takes less time to cook and also requires less oil, making it one of the quickest and healthiest ways of cooking. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when cooking with a wok pan.

Accessories

Depending on the model, the hob may include the following accessories. These are also available from the Technical Assistance Service.

Additional wok pan support Wok pan

Additional wok pan support: to be used exclusively on double and triple-flame burners with concave-based pans. Using these pans may cause some temporary deformation of the grease splash tray. This is normal and does not affect the operation of the appliance. Cast iron pan support (4/5 kW): code HEZ298107. Cast iron pan support (3.3 kW): code HEZ298108. Enamelled iron pan support: code HEZ298110. Wok pan: code HEZ298103.

Additional coffee maker support

Only for use on the auxiliary burner with pans which are no more than 12 cm in diameter. Cast iron pan support: Code HEZ298115. Enamelled iron pan support: Code HEZ298114.

Simmer Plate

This accessory has been designed to reduce the level of heat at the lowest power setting. Place the accessory directly on the pan support with the cones facing upwards, never directly over the burner. Centre the pan over the accessory. Code HEZ298105.

Simmer Cap

Burner specially designed to cook at minimum power. In order to use it, remove the auxiliary burner and replace it with the Simmer Cap burner. Code HEZ298104.

The manufacturer accepts no liability if these accessories are not used or are used incorrectly.

Cooking recommendations

Burner Very high, high Medium Low

Double or triple flame burner

Boiling, steaming, griddling, toasting, paellas, Asian food (wok).

Reheating and keeping things hot: cooked and pre-cooked dishes.

Rapid burner Escalopes, steaks,

omelettes, frying.

Rice, white sauce and ragout.

Steaming: fish, vegetables.

Semi-rapid burner

Steamed potatoes, fresh vegetables, stews, pasta.

Reheating and keeping things hot: pre-cooked dishes and delicate casseroles.

Auxiliary burner Cooking:

casseroles, rice pudding and caramels.

Defrosting and slow cooking: vegetables, fruits and frozen products.

Melting: butter, chocolate, gelatine.

Electric hobs

Before using the hob for the first time, heat it up for 5 minutes, set to full power, with no pans placed on it. At this point it is normal to notice smoke and odours, but these will disappear over time. Do not operate the hobs without placing pans on top, except during this initial heating phase.

It is recommended to start cooking on full power and, depending on the quantity and quality of food, later switch to an intermediate setting for the remaining cooking time.

Taking advantage of the hob's thermal inertia, you can switch the hob off shortly before you finish cooking. This will save energy, as you can continue cooking using the residual heat.

Use pans with bottoms which are thick and perfectly flat. Make sure that the size of the pan used is similar to that of the heating element, never smaller.

Do not allow liquids to be spilt on the surface of the hob and do not use wet pans on the hob.

If prolongued use has worn away the surface of the electrical hot plates, sprinkle them with a few drops of oil or other manteinance products that are widely available.

Electric hobs with continuous energy regulator

These hobs are operated using an energy control regulator which you can use to select the appropriate power level for the food you are cooking. Fig. 4.

Bearing in mind the type of cooking and the quantity of food, using the table below as a guide, turn the control knob to the left, selecting the setting for the dish you want to cook. The operating indicator light will come on. To switch off the hob, turn the control knob to the 0 setting. The indicator light will go out.

Fig. 4.

Suggestions

These suggested settings are intended as a guide only. The power must be increased for:

- large quantities of liquid

- large quantities of food

- cooking using pans without lids

Precautions for use

The following advice is intended to help you save energy and prevent pan damage:

Use pans which are the right size for each burner. Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame

should not touch the sides of the pan.

Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the hob. Pans may tip over.

Only use pans with a thick, flat base.

Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is properly fitted to avoid wasting energy.

Always place the pan right over the burner, not to one side. Otherwise it could tip over.

Do not place large pans on the burners near the control knobs. These may be damaged by the very high temperatures.

Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on the burner.

Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.

Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.

Make sure that the pan supports and burner covers are correctly positioned before using the appliance

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap and water.

After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.

The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports.

Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and scrub with a non-wire brush.

If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan support may scratch the hob.

Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking may damage the enamel.

After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner covers are correctly placed on the diffuser.

Unsuitable products

Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob. If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never

use a knife, scraper or similar to clean the point where it joins the metal.

Maintenance

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.

Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.

Where possible, do not allow salt to come into contact with the surface of the electric hob.

The ring cover of the double or triple flame burner and stainless steel parts such as hotplate rings, top sheet and the area around the burners may become discoloured over time. This is normal because of the high temperatures. Each time the appliance is used these parts should be cleaned with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.

The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.

Faults

Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved. Before calling the Technical Assistance Service, bear in mind the following advice:

Fault Possible cause Solution

The general electrical system is malfunctioning.

Defective fuse.

The automatic safety switch or circuit breaker has tripped.

Check the fuse in the main fuse box and change it if it is damaged. Check the main control panel to see if the automatic safety switch or circuit breaker has tripped.

The automatic on function does not work.

There may be food or cleaning products stuck between the ignition sparkers and the burners. The burners are wet. The burner covers are not correctly positioned. The appliance is not earthed, is not correctly connected or the earth wire is faulty.

The space between the ignition sparker and the burner must be clean.

Dry the burner covers carefully. Check that the covers are correctly positioned. Contact the electrical installer.

The burner flame is not uniform.

The burner components are not correctly positioned. The grooves on the burner are dirty.

Ensure the components are correctly positioned. Clean the grooves on the diffuser.

The flow of gas does not appear normal or no gas comes out.

The gas supply is blocked via intermediary valves. If the gas is supplied from a gas cylinder, check that this is not empty.

Open all intermediary valves.

Change the gas cylinder.

The kitchen smells of gas.

A gas tap has been left on. There may be a leak in the gas cylinder coupling.

Turn off the gas taps. Check that the coupling is sound.

The safety valves on one of the burners are not working.

The control knob was not held down for long enough.

The grooves on the diffuser are dirty.

Once the burner is lit, hold the control knob down a few seconds longer. Clean the grooves on the diffuser.

Si votre plaque de cuisson dispose d'un allumage automatique (bougies).

1. Appuyez sur le bouton de commande du brûleur choisi puis tournez-le vers la gauche jusqu'à la position de puissance maximum. Quand le bouton de commande est enfoncé, des étincelles se produisent sur tous les brûleurs. La flamme s'allume (vous pouvez relâcher le bouton de commande).

2. Tournez le bouton de commande sur la position souhaitée.

Si l'allumage ne se produit pas, tournez le bouton de commande sur la position d'extinction puis répétez les étapes. Cette fois-ci, maintenez le bouton de commande enfoncé plus longtemps (jusqu'à 10 secondes).

Attention ! Si au bout de 15 secondes la flamme ne s'est pas allumée, éteignez le brûleur et aérez la pièce. Attendez au moins une minute avant d'essayer de rallumer le brûleur.

Système de sécurité

Selon le modèle, votre plaque de cuisson peut disposer d'un système de sécurité (thermocouple) qui bloque l'arrivée du gaz si les brûleurs s'éteignent accidentellement. Pour activer ce dispositif, allumez le brûleur normalement, puis maintenez le bouton de commande enfoncé fermement pendant 4 secondes après l'allumage de la flamme.

Éteindre un brûleur

Tournez le bouton de commande correspondant vers la droite jusqu'à la position 0.

Interrupteur principal / Blocage de la plaque de cuisson (Main Switch)

La plaque de cuisson peut disposer d'un interrupteur principal qui coupe le passage du gaz général et qui éteint tous les brûleurs en même temps. Cet interrupteur est très pratique si vous avez des enfants à la maison ou si, pour une raison, vous devez éteindre rapidement tous les brûleurs.

Pour bloquer la plaque de cuisson :

1. Appuyez sur l'interrupteur principal. Tous les brûleurs qui sont allumés s'éteignent. La plaque

de cuisson se bloque.

Pour débloquer la plaque de cuisson :

1. Placez tous les Boutons de commande sur la position d'arrêt.

2. Enfoncez et tournez l'interrupteur principal dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre jusqu'à la butée. Le passage de gaz général est ouvert.

Vous pouvez alors utiliser normalement votre plaque de cuisson.

Avertissements

Pendant le fonctionnement du brûleur, il est normal d'entendre un léger sifflement.

Lors des premières utilisations, le dégagement d'odeurs est normal et ne présente aucun risque, ni un mauvais fonctionnement : elles disparaîtront peu à peu.

Flamme intérieure à puissance maximum.

Flamme intérieure à puissance minimum.
