Hotplate Burners
The drawing by each knob indicates which burner that knob controls.

This example shows the knobs for the middle and front right burners.

There is a spark ignition system that works when the knob is pressed in. Each burner also has a special safety device that stops the flow of gas if the flame goes out.
Push in and turn a knob to the large flame symbol (
).
Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for few seconds. The igniter should spark and light the gas.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to the off position and wait one minute, then try again this time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.

Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob. On this hotplate the low position is beyond high, not
between high and off. The small flame marks the ‘low position’. Turn the knob towards it after the contents of a pan have boiled.
Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned base rims should not be used.
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner performance and could damage the pan supports.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter recommended is 120mm.
NOTE - Griddle plates other than the Rangemaster recommended item, should not be used, or damage to the hob, supports or surround may occur.
The maximum pan base diameter is 260mm for the Centre Wok burner and 220mm for the others.
The Wok burner is designed to provide even heat over a large area. It is ideal for large pans and stir frying. For heating smaller pans the smaller burners may be more efficient.
