USING THE HOB 8. 1 Lighting the hob burners Before lighting the hob burners, check that the flame-spreader crowns are correctly in place with their respective burner caps, making sure that the holes A in the flame-spreaders are aligned with the plugs and thermocouples. Before lighting the burners lift the glass lid; before closing it again, turn off all the burners and wait for them to cool. The optional grid B is for use with woks. To prevent damage to the hob, the cooker comes complete with a raised pan stand C for use underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter. If both ovens are in use at the same time, there may be problems with delicate cooking processes. To prevent any steam in the oven creating problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx. ) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food. During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil, and do not place pans or trays on it; this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven. When using the oven, remove all unused pans and shelves from its interior. 9. 6 Storage compartment (only on some model) The storage compartment is in the bottom of the cooker, underneath the oven. To open it, pull on the top of the door. Never use it to store flammable materials such as rags, paper, etc. ; it is intended to take the appliance's metal accessories only. Never open the storage compartment when the oven is on and still hot. The temperatures inside it may be very high. 33 Instructions for the user 10. AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES The oven features 4 runners for placing trays and shelves at different heights. Oven shelf: for cooking food on plates, small cakes or roasts or foods requiring light grilling.
