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
symbol (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
Use pans with a flat base of minimum
100mm / 4 ins diameter and
maximum 280mm / 10 ins diameter
which are stable in use.
Avoid using 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.

(if fitted)
MAIN OVEN SIDES AND BACK
We recommend that the appliance is
cleaned after open roasting, and also
after roasting at temperatures higher
than gas mark 5, to help prevent a
build up of fats. Use of a trivet in a
roasting tin when roasting will help
reduce fat splashing.
Caution:
Most types of cleaning agent
will damage these surfaces
Only use a few drops of washing up
liquid in hot water. Wipe the surfaces
with a clean cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water - if larger splashes of fat
do not readily disappear scrub the
area with a nylon brush or nylon pan
scourer and hot soapy water. Rinse
well and heat the oven to dry the surfaces.
