Burner operation and ignition
A graphic screen printed on the hob identifies the
individual control knob with the relevant boiling
burner. See preceding figures.
Place the boiling burner body (T) over the burner
stem ensuring that the boiling burner body is posi-
tively located over the spark ignition electrode and
that the burner cap (C) sits squarely on the burner
body.
The triple ring (wok) burner body is also placed over
the burner stem and is positively located over 4 re-
taining channels. The spark electrode is located out-
side the burner head perimeter. Place the outer
burner ring (B) cap and the inner burner cap (A) on
the burner head ensuring they are positively located
in position.
The burners have 2 heat settings:
Large flame = highest setting
Small flame = lowest (simmer) setting
The highest flame setting
is used for initial boiling.
For ongoing cooking a
variable setting between
high and low flame can be
made.
To activate the burner de-
press the control knob and
turn to the ‘high’ flame’ position. Keep knob de-
pressed for approx. 6-7 seconds to allow the safety
shut-off device to activate. The flame will extinguish
if the knob is released too soon. If ignition fails de-
press the control knob and try again. If the flame is
not established in 15 seconds, release the control
knob and open a door for ventilation and wait one
minute before attempting a new procedure.
If the burner flames are extinguished – for whatever
reason – turn OFF the control knob and wait at least
one minute before retrying to ignite the burner.
Ensure that the flames do not extinguish when you
reduce to low flame quickly.
To turn off the gas supply to the burner, return the
control knob to the ‘OFF’ position.
Manual ignition
In case of a power failure the burners can be manu-
ally ignited with a match.
Ventilation
Use of a cooking appliance produces heat and mois-
ture in the room in which it is installed. The room
must therefore be properly ventilated by keeping
natural air vents clear and by activating a mechani-
cal aeration device such as a range hood or exhaust
fan.
Abnormal operation
Burner flames should be clear blue, with no yellow
tipping. If the burner shows any abnormality check
that the burner heads are correctly located.
Any of the following are also considered to be ab-
normal and may require servicing:
♦
Sooting of cooking utensils
♦
Burners not igniting properly.
♦
Burners failing to remain alight.
♦
Burners extinguish by cupboard doors operation.
♦
Gas valves are difficult to turn.
♦
If service or spare parts are required refer to
contact details on rear page of this manual.
