Operation
Hob burners control knobs
The symbols on the knobs mean that : there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan on the pan support. To light a burner, turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to maximum position
( | ), then push it down to ignite the burner. Upon ignition, adjust the flame |
as | required. |
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again. When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.
In the event of a power failure the burners can still be lit using a match or battery operated sparker. In this case, put a lit match or sparker to the desired burner. Push the relevant control knob down and turn it

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
Using the Wok Stand
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be used on the central burner, and should not be used with any other type of wok or pan. When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as shown in the diagram.
