When you are cooking, keep
children away from the vicinity
of the appliance.
Ignition
Push in and turn the selected control
knob anticlockwise to the large flame
symbol and press the
IGNITION SWITCH
until the burner lights. Turn the control
knob to the required setting.
Adjust the burner flame so that it does
not extend over the pan base.
To turn off,
push in the control knob
and turn clockwise until the dot on the
control knob is below the line on the
facia panel.
To simmer
The simmer position is marked by the
SMALL FLAME
symbol.
Once lit turn the selected control knob
anticlockwise past the
LARGE FLAME
sym-
bol (
FULL ON
) to the
SMALL FLAME
symbol.
You may hear a slight popping noise
when the hob burners are operating
and this is quite normal, but if anything
about the cooker appears unusual,
such as change in flame appearance,
or the operation of controls - seek
expert advice.
Pans
For optimum safety and performance,
we recommend the use of flat bottomed
pans with a base diameter of minimum
100mm (4”) and maximum 250mm
(10”).
Do not use double pans, rim based
pans, old misshapen pans or any pan
which is unstable when placed on a
flat surface.
Turn pan handles to a safe position
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance and
cannot be caught accidentally.
Position pans over the centre of the
burners, resting on the pan supports.
If positioned off centre, smaller pans
may be unstable.
When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.
Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
When you have finished
cooking check that all controls
are in the off position.
Pan supports
Always make sure the pan supports
are replaced correctly, and located in
the hob spillage well.

Natural Gas -
Flexible connections
should comply with BS 669. Parts of
the appliance likely to come into
contact with a flexible connector have
a temperature rise of less than 70˚C.
LP Gas -
For flexible connections, use
a bayonet type hose, suitable for use
on LP Gas up to 50 mbar pressure rise
and 70˚C temperature rise. The
flexible hose should be coloured black
with a red stripe, band or label. If in
doubt, contact your supplier.
After installation, make sure all
connections are gas sound.
Important:
- ensure that you route
all mains and electrical cables and
flexible tubing well clear of any
