The hob
Using the hob
The gas hob has 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.
Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for
food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering
foods such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on
any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the
smallest pan should not measure less than
100mm (4").
Ensure the pan supports are
correctly fitted before using the
hob.
To light the hob burners
The hob ignition works by means of an
electric spark system.
• Push in and hold the control knob, turn
to the large flame symbol (highest
setting) and press the ignition button
immediately. Keep the control knob
depressed for up to 5 seconds, but no
longer than 10 seconds. After this time
release the controls. The flame should
remain alight. If after 10 seconds the
burner has not lit, stop operating the
appliance and wait at least 1 min before
attempting a further ignition of the
burner.
• When the burner has lit release the
control and ignition button, adjust the
setting as required.
Warning: If the ignition button is
not pressed immediately a build
up of gas may cause the flame to
spread.
