Hob burners

The hob burner control knobs are situated on the hob front
panel. The symbols on the knobs mean that :

O there is no gas supply

there is maximum gas supply / Ignition setting

there is minimum gas supply

To light a burner:

))

)

))

z turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the

maximum position, then push it down to ignite the
burner;

z then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as

required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" and “crown” (see diagram - letter A
and B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol z.

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, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

diameter diameter

Large (rapid) 180 mm 260 mm
Small (auxiliary) 80 mm 160 mm

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.

Take 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.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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.

Never use steam or high pressure steam cleaners
to clean the appliance.

The Hob T o 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.

The Pan Supports

The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use
common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.

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 electrode

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