The gas hob with five burners is fitted with automatic ignition.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

IMPORTANT

Please read both this and the accompanying ZBM 799 Instruction Book before installing or using this appliance and retain for future reference.

Should the appliance be sold or transferred, always ensure that the book is left with the appliance in order that the new owners can get to know the functions of the new appliance and the relevant warnings.

FOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE USE AND INSTALLATION OF THE OVEN PLEASE REFER TO THE ZBM 799 INSTRUCTION BOOK.

LOCATION

The room the appliance is fitted in must have a good air supply that meets the standard BS 5440 Part 2 (current edition). The appliance may be placed in a kitchen, kitchen/diner or bedsit but not in a garage. It should not be installed in a bedsit smaller than 20m

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

THE GAS HOB

USES OF THE HOB

The gas hob has four different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking:

To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used.

Burner Minimum

Pan Size Ultra Rapid 160mm (6½”) 300m (11½”) Rapid 120mm (5”) 200mm (8”) Normal 120mm (5”) 200mm (8”) Simmer 120mm (5”) 200mm (8”)

Ensure the pan support is correctly fitted before using the hob. See page 11.

HOW TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS

The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark system. Details about the plug are given on page

22.

1. Push in and turn the control knob to the left to the highest setting. This is shown by a large flame symbol.

2. When the burner has lit release the control and adjust the setting as required.

Maximum Pan Size

When lighting any burner ensure that it is lit before you leave the appliance. When turning off a burner, ensure the flame has gone out before leaving the appliance.

TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER

1. Turn the control knob to the off position. This is shown by a large dot.

Place pans on the centre of the burners. Position pans so the handles cannot be accidentally knocked or overhang the appliance. Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across the hob.

THINGS TO NOTE

· If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob

burner turn all the hob controls off and make sure the burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 11 for more information.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Keep flames under the base of pans. If the

flames lick round the sides of the pan you are wasting gas.

· Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.

· Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable

than a pan which is warped.

· Do not use pans with very heavy handles which

cause the pan to tip.

· Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. Food

will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen.

Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or removable parts. The spillage should be wiped up and the parts washed and carefully dried as soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts are cool enough to touch. See pages 9 and 10 for full cleaning instructions.

· A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan

supports. If you use a round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must be the open wirework type otherwise the performance of the burner will be affected.

Take care to avoid burns and scalds when reaching across the hotplate.

THE TIMBER SURROUND

· There will be some pattern, colour and grain

differences over the timber surfaces. This is a normal characteristic of the appearance of wooden products.

· Please note that timber surfaces will weather

over time as they are exposed to light.

· Timber surfaces should be wiped down with a

sparing amount of water.

· Water should never be left to stand on wooden

surfaces for any period of time.

ACCESSORIES

CHOPPING BOARD

· Always remove the chopping board when the

hob is in use.

· Always keep wooden kitchen utensils well away

from naked flames.

· Dry the chopping board thoroughly before

storage.

· In the kitchen keep worktops, chopping boards

and utensils clean with soapy water between preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping board for raw meat and another for other foods. Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.

· The chopping board is not covered by the

guarantee conditions accompanying this appliance.

Take extra care when deep fat frying, do not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames. Never put water on the fire. Leave to cool for 30 minutes.

For the operating instructions on the use of the oven please refer to the ZBM 799 Instruction Book.

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD

Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods.

1. Always ensure food you purchase is of good

quality and in prime condition. Shop at a reliable source and buy the ‘freshest’ looking package – avoid shop worn labels or produce covered in dust.

2. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you

cannot store them straight away. The use of an insulated container when shopping is advisable.

3. Buy and consume foods prior to the ‘Sell by’ or

‘Best Before’ date.

4. When you arrive home, place perishable foods

in the refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure they are well covered to prevent cross contamination with bacteria from raw to cooked foods.

5. Follow the cooking instructions on packets of

prepacked and cooked chilled foods, but be prepared to adjust cooking times and temperatures to suit your particular oven. For example, the Fan Oven generally requires 2025°C lower temperature than conventional ovens.

11. If not eaten straight away after cooking, food should be cooled as quickly as possible (within one hour) and then refrigerated or frozen as required. Do not put hot food into a refrigerator or freezer.

12. In the kitchen keep worktops, chopping boards and utensils clean with hot soapy water between preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping board for raw meat and another for other foods. Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.

6. Always ensure that cooked chilled foods are thoroughly reheated until they are piping hot throughout.

7. It is preferable to defrost frozen foods slowly in the refrigerator. Alternatively, a microwave cooker or the Defrost function on your oven may be used.

8. Always cook defrosted foods immediately after thawing. Thawed food should never be refrozen.

9. Joints of meat and poultry should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking.

10. Cook meat thoroughly – use a meat thermometer if preferred, which penetrates the joint to check that the centre temperature has reached the required temperature (see table below).
