Operation
HOB BURNERS
To light a burner, push the relevant control knob in, turn it anticlockwise to maximum position, and depress the ignition pushbutton marked by a small electric spark symbol. Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
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).

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, 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.
Using the Wok Stand
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be used on the central burner, and should not be used with any other type of wok or pan.
When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as shown in the diagram.
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 Zanussi Service Force Centre.
