))

z push in the relevant control knob and turn it

anticlockwise to maximum position;

z then adjust the flame as required.

If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.

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

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.

T ake care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ignite.

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.

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

The Hob To p

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.

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.

Pan Support s and W ok Stand

The pan supports and the Wok Stand are dishwasher
proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying
them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves
rough edges. If necessay, 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.

Ignition candle

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "candle"
and a metal electrode. Keep these components well
clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner
crown holes are not obstructed.

Something Not Working?

If the hob is not working correctly , please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force
Centre.

SYMPTOM

If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate
correctly , contact your local Service Force Centre.

Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of
purchase for any in-guarantee service calls.

make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or
electrical breakdown.
