Hotplate burners
1
Some models have
a glass lid over the
hotplate. If it is not open,
lift it up at the front.
There is a safety device
which cuts off the gas
to the hotplate burners
if the lid is accidentally
closed with a burner on.
Do not use this to turn the burners off. The gas
supply is restored when the lid is raised.
The toughened glass lid is not intended as a
work surface and should not be used for this
purpose. A scratch could cause the glass to
shatter.
Before closing the lid remove all pans from the
hotplate and ensure that all hotplate control knobs
are in the off position.

The drawing by each knob
indicates which burner that
knob controls. This is the left
hand front burner.
3
Each burner has a
special safety device
(FSD) that stops the flow of
gas if the flame goes out.
Press the igniter button, and
push in and turn a knob to
the large flame symbol ( ).
Keep holding the knob pressed in for a few seconds.
This lets gas through to the burner so the safety
device can detect the flame.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner
goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the
control to the off position and wait one minute, then
try again this time holding in the control knob for
slightly longer.

Adjust the flame height to suit
by turning the knob. On this
cooker the low position is beyond
high, not between high and off.
The small flame marks the ‘low
position’. Turn the knob towards it
after the contents of a pan have
boiled.
5
Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid
will help the contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned
base rims should not be used.
6
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats,
are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the pan supports.
7
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may
tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter
e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum
pan diameter recommended is 120mm.
Before closing the lid remove all pans from the
hotplate and ensure that all hotplate control
knobs are in the off position.
Note.
If you leave the gas taps in the ‘On’ position
when the lid has been closed, unburnt gas will
escape when the lid is raised.
When the spark button (IGN) is pressed, sparks
will be made at every burner, this is normal.
You can remove the burner cap and trim rings
for cleaning, see ‘Cleaning your cooker’
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the
cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as
possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off
while the enamel is still warm.
