USING THE HOB
The symbols on the Control Panel fascias show which burner the Control Knob operates.
Dependent on the model there are two methods for igniting the burners.
1.
Auto Ignition
After pressing in and turning the appropriate knob anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol,
the ignition spark will operate as long as the knob is pressed down..
When a flame has been established the knob can be released.
2.
Manual Ignition
After pressing in and turning the appropriate knob anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol,
press the ignition button located on the control panel.
The ignition spark will operate as long as the button is held down. When a flame has been
established, release the button.
To regulate the flame, continue turning anti-clockwise to the required setting between the large
and small flame symbols.
To turn the burner off, turn fully clockwise.
NOTE:
When a Thermocouple Safety Device is incorporated in the appliance, it is necessary for the knob
to be continuously held down for a further period of approximately 10 seconds after the flame has
been established to enable the thermocouple to function.
The Safety Device is designed to stop the flow of gas to the burner head in the event of a flame
out situation.
HELPFUL HINTS
Always use the correct diameter pan, one that is the same or slightly larger than the flame ring.
The flame should never exceed the diameter of the pan.
The bottom of the pan should be flat and wherever possible, keep the lid on the pan when
cooking.
Depending on the model the following burners are provided:
Large (Rapid or Triple Crown) – for rapid cooking or boiling large quantities of liquid
Wok – for rapid cooking or boiling large quantities of liquid
Medium (Semi-rapid) – for general cooking
Small (Auxiliary)– for slow or simmer cooking
Fish Kettle – for specialised cooking
All burners are variable between full and low positions
WARNING
Do not use commercial simmering aids as these can create excessive heat, which can damage the
appliance.
