Smeg XXPTS725 Using the hob, Lighting burners with safety device, Positioning the griddle plate

Instructions for the User

7.Using the hob

Check that the fixing rings, burners, flame diffuser rings and pan stands are fitted correctly.

The burner pins A must be fitted into the recesses B in the flame diffuser ring. The holes C in the flame diffuser ring must mate with the ignition plugs and thermocouples D on the hob.

7.1Lighting burners with safety device

The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (the example here shows the front left-hand burner).

The appliance is equipped with electronic ignition. Simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the minimum flame symbol , until the burner lights. Keep the knob pressed down for about 2 seconds to keep the flame alight and prime the safety device. The burner may go out when the knob is released. In this case, repeat the operation, keeping the knob pressed down for longer.

If the burners should go out accidentally the safety device will be tripped about 20 seconds later, cutting off the gas supply even if the gas tap is open.

7.2Positioning the griddle plate

A special griddle plate for use with the hob is available from authorised dealers. This plate must be placed on the pan stands properly CENTRED; it must never be fitted instead of a pan stand.

Ensure that the griddle plate is properly centred on the pan stand; if it is not correctly positioned, the knobs may overheat while it is in use.

7.3Practical hints for using the burners

For better burner efficiency and to minimise gas consumption, use flat, even - bottomed pans with lids of suitable size for the burner (see point "7.3 Pan Diameters").

When cooking, to prevent burns or damage to the hob all pans or griddle plates must be placed inside the perimeter of the hob and must be at least 3-4 cm from the knobs.
