Operation
HOB BURNERS
To light a burner, turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position. At the same time
push the electric ignition pushbutton which is marked by
a little spark. Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
Maintenance and Cleaning
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.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
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 Top
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:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following
products are recommended:
- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner.
- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by
hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling
process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessay,
remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water,
and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well
moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used
with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.
