Operation
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.
The largest pan, which you should use
on any burner, is 230mm (9") and 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 a
battery.
•
Lift up the lid. You can not use the
hob when the lid is down.
•
Push in and turn the control knob to
the highest setting.
•
Press the ignition button
immediately.
•
When the burner has lit release the
control and ignition button, adjust
the setting as required.
If the ignition button is not pressed
immediately a build up of gas may
cause the flame to spread.
Things to note
If you are having any difficulty lighting a
hob burner turn all the hob controls off
and make sure the burner parts have
been replaced correctly.
To turn off any burner
•
Turn the control knob to the off
position. This is shown by a dot.
If you close the lid of the appliance
while any of the hotplate burners are lit,
the gas will go out. This is because it
would be dangerous if the burners
stayed on when the lid was closed.
Always use the control knob to turn off
a burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-
off device. This will only cut off the gas
when the lid is closed. The gas will
flow again when the lid is opened.
When lighting any burner, ensure that it
is lit before you leave the appliance.
When turning off any burner, ensure
the flame has gone out before leaving
the appliance.
In the event of the burner flames being
accidentally extinguished, turn off the
burner control and do not attempt to
re-ignite the burner for at least 1 min.
