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.

Operation
Hob burners control knobs
The symbols on the knobs mean that :
there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support.
To light a burner, turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum position
(), then push it down to ignite the burner. Upon ignition, adjust the flame
as required.
If 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.
In the event of a power failure the burners can still be lit using a match or
battery operated sparker. In this case, put a lit match or sparker to the
desired burner. Push the relevant control knob down and turn it anti-clockwise
until it reaches the “maximum” position. The burner should now light.

Large (rapid)160 mm240 mm
Medium (semi-rapid)120 mm220 mm
Small (auxiliary)80 mm160 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.
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 the
diagram.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT
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.
the hob from the electricity supply.
Pan Supports
When washing the pan supports 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.
