WARNINGS AND GUIDANCE

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functions of the appliance and the relevant warnings.

These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

• This appliance is designed to be operated by adults, for non professional purpose in private houses only. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

• Any installation and electrical work must be undertaken by a qualified electrician or competent person. The appliance must be installed according to the instructions.

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify the product in any way.

• Ensure that the gas supply complies with the gas type stated on the identification label, placed near the gas supply pipe.

• Using a gas cooking appliance will produce heat

and moisture in the room which it has been installed in. Ensure a continuous air supply, keeping the air vents in good conditions or installing a cooker hood with discharge tube.

• In case of intensive or long time use of the appliance, make the ventilation more efficient, by opening a window or increasing the electric exhaust fan power.

• Do not use this appliance if it is in contact with water. Do not operate the appliance with wet hands.

• Always ensure that the control knobs are in the 'OFF' position when not in use.

• Hobs became very hot with use and retain their heat for a long period of time after use. You must therefore take great care when using the appliance. Children should be supervised at all times and should not be allowed to touch the hot surface or be in the vicinity when in use or until the appliance has cooled after use. Children also can injure themselves by pulling pans or pots off the hob.

• The cooking zones heat up quickly when they are turned on. Turn them on only when you have placed a saucepan onto the cooking area.

• If you use an electric socket close to the hob, take care when using an electrical appliance that the cable does not touch the hot surface of the hob.

• Do not leave items on the hob surface. Any item you place on the hob could be damaged if the hob is accidentaly turned on.

• Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on the hob as unstable pans can cause an accident by tipping or spillage.

• Never leave the hob unattended when working with oil and fats because of the danger of fire.

• Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the hob surface.

• Always remove any spillage from the surface of the hob immediately. Do not allow spills to dry and harden.

• If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the heated area of the hob, the handle may become hot. Please, ensure that you protect your hands before touching the handle.

• Certain food, plastic items and areosols can be affected by heat and should NOT be stored above or below the hob unit.

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre. Always insist on genuine Tricity Bendix spare parts.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER

INSTALLATION

It is mandatory that all operations required for the installation are carried out by a Competent Gas Installer (CORGI registered installers normally meet this criteria), 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 appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

This appliance meets the requirements laid down in EEC directive No. 89/336 relating to the suppression of radio and TV interferences.

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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

2. Rapid Burner

3. Semirapid Burners

4. Auxiliary Burner

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 flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table), 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 0252

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.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spellage can be removed more easily that if it is left to cool.

The pan supports, burner caps and crowns can be lifted off for cleaning.

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth weel wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite is used.

Clean the pan supports, the burners taps and crowns using hot detergent water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A weel moistened soap impregnated stell wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove. The burner crown may loose its matt surface after several cleanings but this will no way impair ist function.

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

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