Hoover PL74 Cooktop User Manual


 
If over the years the gas taps become stiff to turn it is necessary to lubricate them.
Such operation must be carried out only by qualified Service Engineers.
Warning use the electric ring/hotplate only after reading the paragraph related to choi-
ce of pans specifically with reference to “Use of electric hotplates”.

USING THE GAS BURNER
To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in and turn the
control knob anti-clockwise.
If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few seconds before
lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the pipes to escape.
For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:
• push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the
symbol.
• ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button.
For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to the
symbol.
The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the gas tap is being
pressed.
If the burner is not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0 position and repeat
the operation.
For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the flame is acci-
dentally extinguished) the burners are ignited ad described above, but care must be
taken to keep the knob pressed in for 5 or 6 seconds after the flame is ignited.
ATTENTION:
Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and bur-
ner caps are correctly placed within their position.
GENERAL ADVICE
For the best results, the flat-bottomed pans size should match the gas burner size as
follows. See fig. pag. 11.
For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the flame does not
overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with concave or convex base should not be used.
WARNING: If a burner is accidentally extinguehed, turn the knob to the off posi-
tion and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.
To protect the glass lid from damage and in the interests of safety, the burners/plates
must be turned off and the burner/pan support/plate area must be cool before closing
the lid down.

REGULATING THE MINIMUM FLAME
After lighting the burners, turn the control knob to the minimum setting and then remo-
ve the knob (this can easily be removed by apply a gentle pressure).
Using a small « Terminal» type screwdriver the regulating screw can be adjusted as in
Fig. 7. Turning the screw clockwise reduces the gas flow, whilst turning it anticlockwise
increases the flow – Use this adjustment to obtain a flame of approximately 3 to 4 mm
in length and then replace the control knob.
When the gas supply available is LPG (Bottle gas)- the screw to set the idle flame must
be turned (clockwise) to the end stop.
