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 or triple crown where applicable) - 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 an electric spark system.

1.Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hob when the lid is down.

2.Push in and turn the control knob to the left to the highest setting. This is shown by a large flame symbol. Press the ignition button immediately.

3.When the burner has lit release the control and ignition button, adjust the setting as required.

Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of gas may cause the flame to spread.

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.

TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER

1. Turn the control knob to the off position.

When lighting any burner, ensure that it is lit before you leave the appliance. When turning off a burner, ensure the flame has gone out before leaving the appliance.
