Hotpoint G750, G760 operating instructions Start-up and use, Practical advice on using the burners

Start-up and use

!The position of the corresponding gas burner or

GB	electric hotplate* is shown on every knob.
	Gas burners
	Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following
	settings using the corresponding control knob:
	•	Off
		Maximum
		Minimum
	To light a burner, simply press the corresponding
	knob all the way in and then turn it anti-clockwise to
	the "High" setting, keeping it pressed in until the
	burner lights.
	On those models fitted with a safety device, the knob
	must be pressed in for about 6 seconds until the
	device that keeps the flame lit warms up.
	! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the
	control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before
	trying to relight it.
	To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise
	direction until it stops (when reaches the “•” position).
	The “separate double flame” burner*
	This burner consists of two concentric burners which
	can operate either together or separately.
	Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives
	a very high power which reduces cooking times with
	respect to conventional burners.
	Moreover the double flame crown provides a more
	uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan,
	when using both burners on minimum.
	To ensure that the double-flame burner is used to
	its full potential, never set the inside ring to
	minimum and the outside ring to maximum at the
	same time.
	Pots and pans of all sizes can be used. In the case of
	the smaller pots and pans we recommend the use of
	only the internal burner.
	There is a separate control knob for each of the
	“separate double flame” burners.
	The knob marked by the symbol		operates the
	external burner;
	The knob marked by the symbol		operates the
	internal burner.
	To turn on one of the rings, press the relative knob in

all the way and turn it anti-clockwise to the high setting . The burner is fitted with an electronic igniter that automatically starts when the knob is pressed in.

Since the burner is equipped with a safety device, after lighting the burner keep the knob pressed in for about 2-3 seconds to allow the device which keeps the flame lit automatically to heat up. The selected burner can be regulated using the corresponding knob, as follows:

•Off

Maximum

Minimum

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops (when reaches the “•” position).

Practical advice on using the burners

To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

•Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.

•Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.

•When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.

!On the models supplied with a reducer shelf, remember that this should be used only for the Double flame internal (DCDR internal) burner when you use casserole dishes with a diameter under 12 cm.

To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, "Burner and Nozzle Specifications".
