Zanussi ZCM 650 ZCM 651 manual Gas Hob Controls

The Gas Hob Controls

)To light a burner:

zturn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the maximum position, then push it down to ignite the burner;

zupon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5 seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (see diagram, D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.

zthen, check the flame is regular and adjust it as required.

If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" and “crown” (see diagram, A-B) are in the correct position.

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol z.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the pan, causing the handle to overheat.

As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please

contact your local Service Force Centre.

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).
