LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED WITH FLAME FAILURE SAFETY DEVICE
In order to light the burner, you must:
1. Turn the knob (gs. 13a - 13b) in anti-clockwise direction up to the maximum aperture
(symbol
), push in and hold the knob; this will light the gas.
If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.
2. Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the
knob (valve activation delay).
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
Important
■ If the burner ame should go out, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas ow
■ To re-light the burner, return the knob to closed “0” position (burner off), wait for at
least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
■ N.B. If your local gas supply makes it difcult to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.
COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS
■ The burner must be chosen according to the dia-
meter of the pans and energy required.
■ The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat
or foods that are cooked quickly, and the smallest
for stews and sauces.
■ Always ensure that you use the correct size of
saucepan.
■ For fast boiling, make sure the ame just reaches
the edge of the pan. Flames going up the side of
the pan means wasted heat and the contents of
the pan will take longer to boil.
■ For optimum efciency use a wok or pan no smal-
ler than 230mm diameter.
■ Saucepans with handles which are excessively
heavy, in relationship to the weight of the pan, are
safer as they are less likely to tip.
■ Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are offset.
■ It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.
■ When deep fat frying ll the pan only one third full of oil.
■ DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
■ In the unfortunate event of a re, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
■ Place a damp cloth or correct tting lid over the pan to smother the ames.
■ DO NOT use water on the re.
■ Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
