Hotplate Burners
The drawing by each knob indicates which burner that
knob controls.
1
This example shows the knobs for the middle and front
right burners.
2
There is a spark ignition system that works when the knob
is pressed in. Each burner also has a special safety device
that stops the flow of gas if the flame goes out.
Push in and turn a knob to the large flame symbol ( ).
Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through
to the burner for few seconds. The igniter should spark
and light the gas.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes
out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to
the off position and wait one minute, then try again this
time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.
3
Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob.
On this hotplate the low position is beyond high, not
between high and off. The small flame marks the ‘low
position’. Turn the knob towards it after the contents of a
pan have boiled.
Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid will help
the contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned base
rims should not be used.
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT
recommended. They will reduce burner performance and
could damage the pan supports.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt
easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk
pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter
recommended is 120mm.
NOTE - Griddle plates other than the Rangemaster
recommended item, should not be used, or damage to
the hob, supports or surround may occur.
The maximum pan base diameter is 260mm for the Centre
Wok burner and 220mm for the others.
The Wok burner is designed to provide even heat over
a large area. It is ideal for large pans and stir frying. For
heating smaller pans the smaller burners may be more
efficient.
