USING THE HOB - GAS
• If your hob is supplied with left and
right handed pan supports, ensure
that they are located over the align-
ment pins and are sitting flat on the
hob.
• Use pans which are large enough to
avoid overflows onto the hob surface.
• Wipe any spillage as soon as pos-
sible.
• Clean the hob top as regularly as
possible, this will prevent any build
up of grease which may be a fire
hazard.
• Pans should not be allowed to come
into contact with coloured trims dur-
ing use as this may cause discoloura-
tion of the surface
Hob Ignition & Use
• To turn on burners other than WOK,
push in and turn the control knob
to the full on position (large flame
symbol). If your hob has an ignition
switch on the facia, press it in until
your burner lights.
• Hold the control knob in for 15
seconds then release. If the burner
fails to light within this time, release
the control knob and wait one minute
before attempting to re-ignite.
• To turn on the WOK burner (if fitted),
turn the WOK burner control knob
to the simmer position (small flame
symbol). Push in the control knob
and after a couple of seconds press
the ignition switch.
• Hold the control knob in for 15
seconds then release. If the burner
fails to light within this time, release
the control knob and wait one minute
before attempting to re-ignite.
• NOTE : After the WOK burner is lit,
please allow the burner to warm up
for a few minutes before placing the
pan over it.
• To simmer, turn the control knob
to the small flame symbol. This will
ensure that the flame is just large
enough to gently heat the contents of
the pan.
• To use a round bottomed wok, posi-
tion the wok stand provided onto the
pan support above the wok burner,
then position the wok onto the stand
• To turn off, turn the control knob
clockwise to the ‘off’ position.
• Always make sure that your pans are
placed centrally on the burners and
do not allow the flame to extend over
the base of the pan.
• Avoid the use of pans that overhang
the edges of the hotplate.
In the event of a power failure, or the
ignition not working, then a lighted match
or taper can be used to light the burner.
Energy Saving
• Position pans centrally over the ele-
ments.
• Only heat the amount of liquid you
need.
• Once liquids have been brought to
the boil, reduce the heat setting to a
simmer.
• Consider using a pressure cooker if
possible.
• Vegetables cut into small pieces will
cook more quickly.
