Lighting with gas safety
feature
. Keep holding down the control knob for a few seconds after the flame
has appeared in order to activate the safety system.
. If there is a power failure, a burner can be lit by holding down the
control knob and placing a lighted match against the burner.
Use of cookware
. The gas and electric hobs should only be used with stable, heat-
resistant cookware with flat bottoms.
. Use cookware of a suitable size: the diameter of the bottom of the
cookware should be equal to or greater than the diameter of the
electric cooking zone.
General maintenance
. Clean the burners regularly: this is essential to keep them working
correctly and to ensure a stable and even flame.
. Do not forget the spark igniters. Thoroughly dry the burners and
burner covers before replacing them.
. Finish cleaning by wiping the glass worktop using a piece of
absorbent paper to remove any traces of damp.
Tips
. Once water starts to boil, reduce the flame to prevent it boiling over.
. Cover your saucepans with lids to save energy.
. Try turning off an electric cooking zone a few minutes before the end
of the cooking time.
