Hotplate Burners
Gas burners
The drawing by each knob indicates which burner that
knob controls. Each burner has a special safety device that
stops the fl ow of gas if the fl ame goes out.
There is also a spark ignition system
that works when the knob is pressed
in.
Push in and turn a knob to the large
fl ame symbol ( ). The igniter should
spark and light the gas
Keep holding the
knob pressed in to
let the gas through
to the burner for few
seconds.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes
out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to
the off position and wait one minute, then try again this
time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.
When the control knob is pressed in, sparks will be
made at every burner - this is normal. Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner while another
burner is on. An electric shock could result.
Adjust the fl ame height to suit by
turning the knob.
On this cooker the low position is
beyond high, not between high and
off . The small fl ame marks the ‘low
position’.
Turn the knob towards it after the
contents of a pan have boiled.
Make sure fl ames are
under the pans.
Using a lid will help
the contents boil
more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned base
rims should not be used.
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT
recommended. They will reduce burner performance and
could damage the pan supports.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt
easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk
pans, single egg poachers.
The minimum pan diameter recommended is 120mm.
The maximum pan base diameter is 250mm.
The Wok burner is
designed to provide
even heat over a large
area. It is ideal for large
pans and stir frying. For
heating smaller pans the
smaller burners may be
more effi
cient.
If a burner fl ame goes out, turn the control knob off
and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
You can remove the burner parts for cleaning; see the
‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of the instructions.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the
cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as
possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off while
the enamel is still warm.
Note:
Use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking of
the pan supports. This does not aff ect the durability
of the enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal
cleaner such as 'Brasso'.
