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

a battery.

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.
