Operation

Hob burners

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 Fig. 1 - 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.

T o ensure maximum burner ef ficiency , you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

Burner minimum maximum

diameter diameter

Ultra-rapid
(Triple-crown) 180 mm 260 mm
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm 220 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.

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.

The Hob Top

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.

Pan Supports

To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they
are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob.

The pan supports can be lifted for easier cleaning,
as shown in Fig. 2.
T o remove the pan support s completely , proceed
as shown in Fig. 3.

Take care when removing them. They are
heavy and could damage the hob or your
kitchen furniture if you let them fall.

Never turn the pan supports on the hinges, this
could damage them.

T o remove the pan support s completely , proceed
as shown in Fig. 3.

Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water. If
necessary , a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel
wool pad can be used with caution.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

The Burners

The burner caps and crowns (Fig. 1) 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
"electrode" and a metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep
these components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties,
and check that the burner crown holes are not
obstructed.
