Operation
Hob Burners
To light a burner:
l
push in the relevant control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to maximum position;
l
Mod. EHG 66: upon ignition, keep the knob pushed
down about
5 seconds
. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - letter D) to be heated and
the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the
gas supply would be interrupted;
l
then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
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).

Large (triple-crown)
180 mm.
260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid)
120 mm.
220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary)
80 mm.
160 mm.
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.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service 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 triple crown 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.
