Using the gas hob

Switching on, Switching off, Controls

The controls are used to switch on the burners and regulate the strength of the flame.

ßthe gas supply is turned off

&strong flame

/weak flame

Switching on:

^The control for the burner required must be pressed in and turned anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol to switch on.

^When the flame ignites, keep the control pressed in for 8-10 seconds, and then let it go.

If the flame goes out, repeat the procedure, keeping the control pressed in for a few extra seconds.

^With the control no longer pressed in you can continue turning it towards the small flame symbol.

Control the flame so that it does not spread out beyond the sides of the pan. As the outer part of the flame is much hotter than the centre, the tips of the flames should stay beneath the pan base. Flame tips which extend beyond the sides of the pan merely warm up the air in the room and can also damage pan handles and increase the danger of burning.

Switching off:

^Turn the control clockwise until the ß position is reached.

This stops the flow of gas and the flame goes out.

Remember: Turn anti-clockwise to switch on, turn clockwise to switch off. The controls cannot be turned anti-clockwise from the small flame symbol to the "ß" position.
