2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting. GB Only turn the control knob between the large flame symbol

and the small flame symbol for adjusting the setting.

DO NOT use mis-shapen pans which may be unstable. DO NOT use round base woks directly on the pan supports.

Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials from the ignitor using a small nylon brush such as a tooth brush. Access to the ignitor can be achieved by lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when the burners are cool.

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner controls and do not attempt to re-ignite the burners for at least 1 minute.

If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit may appear on the top edge of the pan support fingers. See ‘Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning information.

Models with Hob Gas Burner Safety Devices to Prevent Leaks *

These models can be identified by the presence of the device itself.

!Since the hob burners are equipped with a safety device, you must hold the control knob in for about 3 seconds after the burner has been lighted to allow the gas to pass until the safety thermocouple has heated.

For the hotplate to work in the most efficient way possible and in order to save on the amount of gas consumed, it is recommended that only pans which have a lid and a flat base are used. They should also be suited to the size of the hotplate.

Hotplate	ø Cookware diameter (cm)
Rear left	24 - 26
Front left	16 - 22
Centre rear	10 - 14
Front right	16 - 22
Rear right	16 - 22

Safety requirements for deep fat frying

1.Never fill chip pans more than one third full with oil or fat.

2.Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooling period.

3.Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan.

4.Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause frothing and spitting if added too quickly.

5.Always keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

How to deal with a fat fire

1.Do not move the pan.

2.Turn off the hotplate burners.

3.Smother the flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth to extinguish the fire. Do not use water or a fire extinguisher as the force of it may spread the burning fat or oil over the edge of the pan.

4.Leave the pan for at least 60 minutes before moving it.

A non-stick griddle is supplied for use over the two burners on the right hand side of the hob. The griddle is made of cast iron and the surface is covered with a special nonstick finish. To protect the non-stick coating never use metal cooking utensils as they may scratch the surface. Wooden or heat resistant plastic utensils may be used. Do not use saucepans on the griddle plate.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE GRIDDLE PLATE BE USED OVER ANY OTHER HOTPLATE BURNERS.

Use of the griddle

The griddle may be used with either or both of the burners on, depending on the food being cooked. The griddle can be positioned with the ridged portion at the front or at the rear.

1.Secure the griddle above the two simmer burners, on the right hand side of the hob, making sure that the support feet are located correctly on the pan support fingers.

2.Press the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob(s) of the burners anticlockwise to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the ignition button until the spark lights the gas. Preheat the griddle plate for approximately four minutes.

3.Place the food directly on the griddle plate. However when cooking drier foods eg. drop scones the griddle plate can be lightly greased.

4.The controls can be left at high for the sealing of foods or turned down to a lower heat setting depending on what food is being cooked.
