As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
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.
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.
Hob burners control knobs
The symbols on the knobs mean that :
there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
Lighting the burners
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan
on the pan support.
To light a burner, turn the relevant knob anticlockwise to
maximum position (
), then push it down to ignite the
burner. Upon ignition, adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero,
and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power
cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.
In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case, approach
the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
“maximum” position.
Operation
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 figure 3.
