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 hold the control
knob, turn to the large flame
symbol (highest setting) and
press the ignition button
immediately. Keep the control
knob depressed for up to 5
seconds, but no longer than 10
seconds. After this time release
the controls. The flame should
remain alight. If after 10
seconds the burner has not lit,
stop operating the appliance and
wait at least 1 min before
attempting a further ignition of
the burner.
• When the burner has lit release
the control and ignition button,
adjust the setting as required.
