[. . . ] When using other electrical appliances, ensure the cable does not come into contact with the hot surfaces of the cooking appliance. Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on the hob as unstable pans can cause an accident by tipping or spillage. Never leave the hob unattended when cooking with oil and fats. [. . . ] To light a burner: turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to maximum position and push it down to ignite; - upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5 seconds, to allow the safety device to be switched off; - then adjust the flame as required. If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again. When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically. 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). Burner Large (rapid) Medium (semi-rapid) Small (auxiliary) minimum diameter 180 mm 120 mm 80 mm maximum diameter 260 mm 220 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. 5 Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply. The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool. The Hob Top Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following: - household detergent and bleaches; - impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans; - steel wool pads; - bath/sink stain removers. Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used. FO 2237 Pan Supports To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob. The oan supports can be lifted for easier cleaning, as shown in Fig. To remove the pan supports completely, proceed as shown in Fig. If washing them by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessay, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner. FO 2032 Fig. 1 The Burners The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning. Wash the burners caps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove. [. . . ] When the screws have been tightened, the excess seal can be removed. The edge of the hob forms a double seal which prevents the ingress of liquids.
