Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save
energy and prevent pan damage:
1
Operating the appliance
Operating the appliance
You have already learnt about the controls and how
they work. Now we will explain how to set your
appliance. You will learn about what happens when you
switch the appliance on and off, and how to select the
operating mode.
Hob
This chapter explains how to set a hotplate. The table
shows heat settings and cooking times for various
meals.
Switching on the gas burner
Always position the burner lid precisely on the burner
cup. Keep the openings in the burner cup free from
obstructions. All parts must be dry.
1.
Turn the selector for the required burner anti-
clockwise to the ignition position
8
. The ignition
process starts.
2.
Press and hold the hob selector for 1–3 seconds.
Gas begins to flow out and the gas burner ignites.
The safety pilot is activated. If the gas flame goes
out, the gas supply is automatically shut off by the
safety pilot.
3.
Set the desired flame size. Between the Off
Û
position and the
—
position, the flame is not stable.
You must therefore always choose a position
between the
—
large flame and
˜
small flame.
4.
Check whether the flame is lit. If it is not, repeat the
process from step 1.
Do not press the ignitor for longer than 15 seconds. If
the burner does not ignite within 15 seconds, wait at
least one minute before repeating the procedure.
If the burner's flame accidentally goes out, switch off the
burner's selector and wait at least one minute before
igniting the burner again.

Use pans which are the
right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
must not touch the sides of
the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on
the hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick,
flat base.
Do not cook without using
a lid and make sure the lid
is properly fitted. This
wastes energy.
Always centre the pan over
the burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on
the burners near the
control knobs. These may
be damaged by the very
high temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on
the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps
are correctly positioned
before using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and
do not place excessive
weight on it.
Never use two burners or
heat sources to heat one
single pan.
Do not use grill pans,
earthenware casserole
dishes, etc. for a long
period of time on
maximum power.
