It is important that the base diameter of
the pots or pans match the diameter of
the burner rings in order to obtain an
efficient heat transfer, Always position
pans centrally over the burners.
Adjust the size of the flame so that it
does not lick up the side of the pan.
Position the pan handles so that they
cannot be accidentally knocked.
Only used flat bottomed pans.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.

To light one of the gas burners, push in
and turn the relevant knob to the maxi-
mum position (large flame symbol) and
hold the knob in until the flame has been
lit.
Adjust the gas valve to the desired posi-
tion.
N.B. In the case of a mains failure light
the burner with a match or lighted taper.
N.B. If your local gas supply makes it
difficult to light the burner with the knob
set to maximum, set the knob to mini-
mum and repeat the operation.
