HOB: GENERAL NOTES ON SAFETY
•
When using the burners, do not leave the appliance
unsupervised. Ensure that children and the infirm
do not play with the appliance. In particular, make
sure that pan handles are positioned correctly and
supervise the cooking of foods which use oils and
fats, as these are highly inflammable.
• DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINTY OF
THIS APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
• Even after use, the burners remain hot for a long
period; to avoid burning, do not place hands or
other objects on them.
• After using the appliance, ensure that all the
controls are in the closed or off position.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC IGNITION OF
COOKTOP BURNERS
Push lightly the knob (A) which corresponds to burner
to be ignited and turn anti clockwise to the “
Full On”
position
, then depress the control knob.
Automatically the ignition spark shoots. If there is no
electric power the burner may be lit with matches.
OPTIMUM USE OF COOKTOP BURNERS
In order to achieve maximum efficiency with minimum
gas consumption it is useful to remember:
• Do not use large burners with pans of small
diameter in order to avoid flames spreading wider
than pans (consult the following table) and always
use pans with lids (fig. 3).
• When the boiling point is reached, it is best to turn
the knob to the “
Low position”
.
• Avoid using over sized pans that may radiate
excessive heat and cause damage to surrounding
surfaces such as bench tops and glass lid.
• Do not place anything, e.g. flame tamer, asbestos
mat, between pan and pan support, as serious
damage to the appliance may result (fig. 4).
• Locate pan centrally over the burner so that is
stable and does not overhang the appliance (fig. 5).
• If gas burns with a yellow flame, do not continue to
use burner and arrange for service.
• Do not use burners without the proper pan support or
wok stand, as this will concentrate and deflect the heat
onto the hotplate (fig. 6) and surrounding surfaces.
•
Use only a wok support supplied or recommended
by the manufacturer of the appliance (fig. 7).
ABNORMAL OPERATION
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal
operation and may require servicing:
•
Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.
•
Sooting up of cooking utensils.
•
Burners not igniting properly.
•
Burners failing to remain alight.
•
Burners extinguished by the oven door.
•
Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.
In case the appliance fails to operate correctly, contact
our Service Centre.
Warning: Servicing should be carried out only
by authorised personnel.
