Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner, push in and turn the relevant
control knob anticlockwise to maximum position. At
the same time push the electric ignition button which
is marked with a little spark. Then adjust the flame as
required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should
only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the
size of the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than
the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the pan, causing the
handle to overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down
the flame so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Parkinson Cowan
Service Centre.
