USING THE BURNERS

To turn on one of the burners:

1. Turn the corresponding control knob

anticlockwise until the indicator coincides with

the maximum flame symbol .

2. Press the control knob to ignite the burner.

3. Once the burner has lit, keep the control knob

pressed for about 5 seconds to allow the safety thermocouple fitted to each burner to engage. The thermocouple will switch off the gas supply to the burner should the flame be accidentally lost (A gust of air, momentary interruption of gas supply or liquid spillage etc).

If the burner does not ignite within about 15 seconds, switch off the burner, check the fitting of the burner cap and plate for correct fitting. Wait at least 1 minute before trying again.

If the burner goes out when the control knob is released, the thermocouple did not engage. wait at least 1 minute before repeating steps 1 to 3.

PRACTICAL ADVICE ON USING THE HOB

Read the instructions to get the best out of your hob.

• Use pans with a similar diameter to the burner

(see the table on this page).

• Use flat bottomed pans except with the wok

support.

• Do not use excessive water when cooking foods

and use the lid.

• Ensure that pans are fully supported by the pan

supports and do not protrude over the edges.

You should never use:

• two burners simultaneously with just one

container such as a fish kettle.

Important:

Do not rest or drag the pan supports upside down on the hob as this could scratch it.

Failure to comply with these recommendations could lead to the glass ceramic hob being damaged, or broken and the safety of your appliance being compromised.
