When lighting the hob manually
(in case of lack of electricity): Hold a
flame near the burner. Never turn the
control knob before approaching the
burner with the flame.
When switching on the mains,
after installation or a power cut, it
is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated
automatically.
To ensure maximum burner effi-
ciency, you should only use pots and
pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).
Use only pans or pots with flat bot-
tom.
If you use a saucepan which is
smaller than the recommend-
ed size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the pan,
causing the handle to over-
heat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling,
turn down the flame so that it will
barely keep the liquid simmering.
Take care when frying food in
hot oil or fat, as the overheat-
ed splashes could easily ignite.
The stainless steel can become
tarnished if excessively heated.
Therefore prolonged cooking with
potstones, earthenware pans or
cast-iron plates is inadvisable.
Also, do not use aluminium foil to
protect the top during use.
Do not place unstable or de-
formed pots on the rings: they
could tip over or spill their con-
tents, causing accidents.
Pots must not enter the con-
trol zone.
If the control knobs become diffi-
cult to turn, please contact your
local Service Force Centre.
