Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner:
z turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the
maximum position, then push it down to ignite the
burner;
z then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" and “crown” (see Fig. 1 - letter A and
B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol z.
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).

If you use a saucepan which is smaller than
the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the
handle to overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.
Using the Wok Stand
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round
bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be
used on the central burner, and should not be used with
any other type of wok or pan. When fitting the wok stand,
ensure the recesses in the frame fit securely onto the
bars of the pan supports, as shown in the diagram.
