The hob
Using the hob
The gas hob has different burner sizes to
suit different types of cooking:
To ensure maximum burner efficiency only
use pots and pans with flat bases
appropriate to the burner size used.
Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for
food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering
foods such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on
any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the
smallest pan should not measure less than
100mm (4").
Ensure the pan supports are
correctly fitted before using the
hob.
To light the hob burners
The hob ignition works by means of a
battery.

Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hob
when the lid is down.
•
Push in and turn the control knob to the

by a large flame symbol. Press the
ignition button immediately.

When the burner has lit release the
control and ignition button, adjust the

Warning: If the ignition button is
not pressed immediately a build
up of gas may cause the flame to
spread.
