The gas hob
The gas hob has different burner sizes
to suit different types of cooking:
To ensure maximum burner
efficiency only use pots and pans with
flat bases appropriate to the burner
size used.
Larger burner (Rapid or triple crown
where applicable) - use a large pan for
food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for
everyday cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for
simmering foods such as soups and
stews.
The largest pan which you should
use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The
base of the smallest pan should not
measure less than 100mm (4").
Ensure the pan supports are
correctly fitted before using the
hob.
To light the hob burners
The hob ignition works by means of an
electric spark system.
•
Lift up the lid. You cannot use the
hob when the lid is down.
•
Push in and hold the control knob,
turn to the large flame symbol .
•
Press the ignition button
immediately. Keep the control
knob depressed for up to 5
seconds, but no longer than 10
seconds. After this time release
the controls. The flame should
remain alight. If after 10 seconds
the burner has not lit, stop
operating the appliance and wait at
least 1 min before attempting a
further ignition of the burner.
•
When the burner has lit release the
control and ignition button, adjust
the setting as required.
Warning: If the ignition button is
not pressed immediately a build up
of gas may cause the flame to
spread.
When lighting any burner, ensure
that it is lit before you leave the
appliance.
If you close the lid of the appliance
while any of the hob burners are lit,
the gas will go out. This is because
it would be dangerous if the
burners stayed on when the lid was
closed.
Always use the control knob to
turn off a burner. Do not use the lid
as a cut-off device. This will only
cut off the gas when the lid is
closed. The gas will flow again
when the lid is opened.
