Operation
Lighting Burners –
Simply press the knob in, turn anticlockwise to maximum and the burner will ignite. Before releasing knob,
ensure a flame is established, if the burner fails to ignite, put into off position and try again.
If in case of a power failure or failure of the ignition, a match or lighting devise can be used. Care must be taken when using this method.
The device shall not be operated for more than 15s. If after 15s the burner has not lit, stop operating the device and open the compartment
door and/ or wait at least 1 min before attempting a further ignition of the burner.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for
at least 1 min.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" and “crown” (see diagram – figure 1) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol ”

If you using 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.
Warning: As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering. If the control knobs
become difficult to turn, please contact your local service centre. (See figure 3*)
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm; as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool.
The Hob Panel
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added.
Avoid the use of the following:1) household detergent and bleaches;2) pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;3) steel wool pads;4)
bath/sink stain removers.
Pan Supports
If washing them by hand, take care when drying the m as the enameling and drying process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary,
remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.
