Hoover HGH 640 SW, HGH 640 W Use Of Hob, User Instructions, Using The Gas Burner, General Advice

When you have carried out the new gas regulation, replace the old gas rating pla- te on your appliance with one (supplied with hob) suitable for the type of gas for which it has been regulated.

USE OF HOB

USER INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended, domestic cooking, and any other use will be considered improper and could therefore be danger- ous. The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage or loss resulting from improper use.

USING THE GAS BURNER

To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise.

If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few seconds before lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the pipes to escape.

For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:

•push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the ★ symbol.

•ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button.

For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to the ★ symbol.

The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the gas tap is being pressed.

If the burner is not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0 position and repeat the operation.

For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the flame is acci- dentally extinguished) the burners are ignited ad described above, but care must be taken to keep the knob pressed in for 5 or 6 seconds after the flame is ignited.

ATTENTION: Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and bur- ner caps are correctly placed within their position.

GENERAL ADVICE

For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans size should match the gas burner size as follows. See fig. pag. 1-2.

Hob type	Burner type	Ø pan / pot (cm)
A;B;C.	R/H front burner	12÷18
A;B;C.	L/H front burner	12÷18
A;B;C.	R/H rear burner	18÷24
A;B.	L/H rear burner	24÷26
C	L/H rear burner	18÷24
C	Central burner	24÷28

For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with concave or convex base should not be used.

WARNING: If a burner is accidentally extinguehed, turn the knob to the off posi- tion and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.

If over the years the gas taps become stiff to turn it is necessary to lubricate them. Such operation must be carried out only by qualified Service Engineers.
