easily peeled off, but should a small amount of
glue remain on the control panel this can be
removed by rubbing gently with a soft cloth
dampened with white spirit.

on the hob as unstable pans can cause an
accident by tipping or spillage.

•Certain food, plastic items and areosols can be
affected by heat and should NOT be stored above

OPERATION
HOB BURNERS
To light a burner, turn the relevant knob
anticlockwise to maximum position and push
down the knob to ignite.
Then 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.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is
strongly recommended that you use only
pots and pans with a bottom fitting the size
of the burner used, so that flame will not
spread beyond the bottom of the vessel. It is
also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts
boiling, to turn down the flame so that it will
barely keep the liquid simmering.
FO 2064
It is recommended to adjust the flame so
that it is no larger than the diameter of the
base of the saucepan.
If you want to use a pan with a dimeter
larger than 26 cm., we recommed you use it
on the front left hand burner.
IMPORTANT
Be very careful when frying food in hot oil or
fat, as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
IMPORTANT
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Tricity Bendix
Service Centre.
Under no circumstances should the hob be
left unattented when in use.
When operating a burner, make sure that
the gas is fully ignited.
The control knobs are not designed to be
removed. If they are accidentaly dislodged,
for example during cleaning, make sure they
are pushed firmly back into position before
attempting to turn them on.
Do not use any type of commercial
simmering aid on this hob.
Where it is possible to use the drawer or
drawers directly beneath the hob, store only
non-combustable materials in them. It is not
advisable to store food in these drawers.
When the hob is being used, open the
drawer or drawers fully before removing any
equipment.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply.
For hygiene and safety reasons, this
appliance should be kept clean at all times.
A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could
result in a fire.
Never line any part of the hob with
aluminium foil.
An unsuitable cleaning preparation can do
more harm than good, so it is important to
note the following:
1. Spillage should be wiped up as it occurs
but care should be taken as the hob will be
hot. Before doing any extensive cleaning
allow the hob to cool.
3. The hob surface, pan support and burners
head can be cleaned using mild abrasive,
but take care not to damage the spark
electrodes.
4. The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If
washing them by hand, take care when
drying them as the enamelling process
occasionally leaves rough edges.
5. The burner crowns can be removed for
cleaning. Wash these parts frequently in hot
soapy water. Stubborn staines can be
removed by soaking in hot water then
scouring them with a soap filled pad. The
burner crown may loose its matt surface
after several clanings but this will no way
impair its function.
2. The fascia panel and control knobs can
be cleaned using soapy water and a damp
cloth. Polish dry with a soft cloth.
6. Do not use any polishes, caustic cleaners,
abrasives, washing soda or soap powder,
except as recommended in this booklet.
