Warning and Safety Instructions

Warning and Safety Instructions
Important safety instructions
This appliance complies with all rele­vant legal safety requirements. Im­proper use of the appliance can, however, present a risk of both per­sonal injury and material damage. Before installing and using the ap­pliance for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully. They give information on safety, on the operation and care of the ap­pliance. This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance. Do not let children access the ap­pliance or its controls. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm. Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any fu­ture user.
Correct usage
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use, and in particular to cook, fry or reheat food. Any other usage is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer can­not be held responsible for damage caused by improper use of the ap­pliance.
Technical safety

when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system. It is imperative that this basic safety re­quirement be tested and where there is any doubt, the electrical system of the house should be checked out by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage such as electric shock caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective ear­thing system.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning and Safety Instructions
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person,e.g. ’Corgi’ registered for gas in G.B. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electrical supply when it is switched off at the wall socket, or the mains fuse is withdrawn, or the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable). Do not pull by the mains cable, but by the plug when withdrawing the plug from the socket.
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electrical supply by an exten­sion lead. Extension leads do not guaran­tee the required safety of the appliance.
Gas burners should only be used
in rooms with adequate ventilation. Ensure that the worktop area around the hob is clear of obstacles to allow sufficient ventilation.
Important notes for the installer
Check that all parts of the burner
unit are correctly assembled be­fore igniting the gas, otherwise the igni­tion could malfunction.
Please note the following, in cases
where the hob is on LPG supply: Where this appliance is installed in marine craft or in caravans, it shall not be used as a space heater.
When installing the gas hob, the
following minimum dimensions must be kept:
25 cm distance from any heat-sensi­tive material or surfaces, otherwise some form of insulation must be fitted.
65 cm between the hob and a wall unit above it.
65 cm between the hob and a cooker hood above it.
Wall sealing strips and any back-
moulding must be of heat resistant material.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning and Safety Instructions
Important notes for the user
Do not let small children use the
appliance or touch it during oper­ation. Not only do the cooking areas heat up, but also the control panel. Danger of burning. Keep all pans out of the reach of children.
Make sure that there is a minimum
distance of 15 mm between the pot or pan and the control panel. Never place a pot on the control panel.
When using an electric socket
near the hob, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical ap­pliance does not come into contact with the gas flames or the hot parts of the hob.
Note that potential hazards may
exist with overhead cabinets.
The wok/pan support and trivet (if
supplied) heat up when the bur­ners are in use. Do not touch them until they have cooled down. The use of oven gloves is recommended.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate on the unit.
Never leave the hob unattended
when cooking with oil or fat. Very hot oil can cause a fire. Always heat fat slowly, watching as it heats.
Before removing pots and pans, be sure to turn the control to “OFF”.
Allow sufficient time for the unit to cool before touching or exposing
surface areas to flammable materials.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cook­ing time, including the size and amount of food, its temperature, changes to the recipe and the shape and size of cook­ing container. Some foods may contain micro organ­isms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cook­ing or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, se­lect a longer cooking or reheating time.
It is essential to ensure that food
has been evenly and sufficiently heated. Turn or stir during cooking if necessary, and check that it is thor­oughly cooked.
Never use damp potholders.
Use only suitable cookware. Unsuit-
able cookware may break due to a sudden temperature change.
Avoid allowing liquids or foods con-
taining salt to spill on to a stainless steel hob. Should this happen, wipe up any spillages containing salt immediate­ly, otherwise discoloration could occur.
When frying foods, make sure that
the food is as dry as possible so as to prevent moisture from causing hot fat to bubble over.
When shallow or deep frying, do
not overfill the pan with oil.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning and Safety Instructions
When using a cooker hood over the gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered with a pan. Do not flambé under a cooker hood. Otherwise flames could be drawn up by the suction of the cooker hood, parts of which could then be damaged. Fat residues in the filter could catch fire.
Do not use the gas hob to heat up
the room. The high temperatures of the hob could cause inflammable ob­jects in the vicinity to burn.
Do not use spray aerosols in the
vicinity of the appliance while it is in operation.
Under no circumstance use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean the gas hob. The steam could penetrate to live com­ponents and cause a short circuit.
Disposal of discarded appliances
Before disposing of an old ma-
chine / appliance, ensure that dis­connection from the gas supply is made by a suitably competent person. Switch off at the mains, disconnect and remove the appliance cable at both ends and render useless. This is in­tended to prevent the discarded ap­pliance from being a hazard.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non­compliance with safety instructions.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surround­ings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guaran­tee/warranty.
Spray canisters, aerosols or in-
flammable substances must not be stored in a drawer beneath the hob. Any cutlery trays must be made of a heat resistant material.

Gas burner unit

Gas burner unit
Before using for the first time, take heed of the “Warning and Safety Instructions”.
Burner control
The inner and outer burner are both controlled by one knob.
The burner control knob may only be turned anti-clockwise to switch on and back in a clockwise direc­tion to switch off. Otherwise the con­trol could be damaged.
The gas flame is lit by electrical ignition. When the burner control is pressed in the strong flame position, a spark passes from the electrode to the burner and ig­nites the gas to give a flame (see page 11).
The burner is equipped with an ignition safety device. If a gas flame goes out, for example, if food boiled over, or if there was a sudden draft, the ignition safety control cuts off the supply of gas.
Instructions for using the hob
Place the wok or the pan on the wok/pan support.

both produce high flames)

A trivet is supplied with the gas hob. It is designed to sit on the wok/ pan sup­port when using small pans. The trivet should only be used on the burner with the lowest setting. It should only be used with pans with a diameter of less than 10 cm.
