Operation

Hob burners

To light a burner:



 push in the relevant control and turn it to maximum

position;

 then adjust the flame as required.

 If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to

zero, and try again.

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 Zanussi Service Centre.

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).

Burner minimum maximum

diameter diameter

Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.

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 and the aluminium frame
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 Burners

Pan Supports

The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste
cleaner. Never use steel wool pads or acids.

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
The cap and crown of each burner are secured with two
screws. To separate the two pieces, lift the crown, turn it
upside down, then undo the two fixing screws as shown
in fig. 1.
After cleaning, reassemble the two parts and refit the
cap on its correct position on the burner.
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.
