Cooktop Burners
The drawing by each knob indicates which burner that
knob controls. Each burner has a special safety device that
stops the flow of gas if the flame goes out.
Push in and turn a knob to the (
) lighting position.
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.
Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob. On
this range the low position is beyond high, not between
high and off. The ‘LO’ marks the low position. Turn the knob
towards it after the contents of a pan have boiled.
Make sure flames are under the pans. For safety reasons,
adjust the flames so that they do not extend beyond the
edge of the cooking utensil. This instruction is based on
safety considerations.
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 grates.
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 4 3 /
4
”.
The Wok burners are designed to provide even heat
over a large area. They are ideal for large pans and
stir frying. When using large pans ensure that the
pan does not over hang the edge of the cooktop. For
heating smaller pans the smaller burners may be more
efficient.
When a cooktop burner knob is pressed in, sparks will be
made at every burner. This is normal.
If, after lighting, a cooktop burner’s flame goes out, turn it
off and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
