THE HOB
USING THE HOB
The gas hob has three 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 or triple crown where applicable)
- 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 an electric spark
system.
1. Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hob when the
lid is down.
2. Push the control knob in fully and turn to the left
to the highest setting. This is shown by a large
flame symbol.
3. The ignition will not function if the control knob is
not fully depressed.
4. When the burner has lit, adjust the setting as
required.
Warning: If the control knob is not
depressed immediately a build up of gas
may cause the flame to spread.
If you close the lid of the appliance while
any of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas
will go out. This is because it would be
dangerous if the burners stayed on when
the lid was closed.
Always use the control knob to turn off a
burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off
device. This will only cut off the gas when
the lid is closed. The gas will flow again
when the lid is opened.
TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER
1. Turn the control knob to the off position.
When lighting any burner, ensure that it is
lit before you leave the appliance.
When turning off a burner, ensure the
flame has gone out before leaving the
appliance.
