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.

Push in and turn the control knob to the left to
the highest setting. This is shown by a large
flame symbol. Press the ignition button
immediately.
•
When the burner has lit release the control and
ignition button, adjust the setting as required.
Warning: If the ignition button is not
pressed immediately a build up of gas
may cause the flame to spread.
TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER

shown by a large dot.
When lighting any burner, ensure that it
is lit before you leave the appliance.
When turning off a burner, ensure the
