[. . . ] 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. Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the hob. [. . . ] Always wipe off any splash of liquid before opening the lid. Always clean the lid from cooking residues before opening it or taking it off. The crystal lid can splinter when overheated. Always ensure all the burners are off before closing it. - - 4 Operation This hob is provided with a safety device, which will stop the gas flow if the flame accidentally goes off during cooking. 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. If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts, check the "cap" and "crown" (Fig. 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 (triple crown) Medium (semi-rapid) Small (auxiliary) minimum diameter 180 mm 120 mm 80 mm maximum diameter 260 mm 220 mm 160 mm FO 0204 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.

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. Pan Supports The pan supports are dishwasher proof. 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. 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. After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth. Ignition electrode The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "electrode" and a metal electrode (Fig. [. . . ] The recommended solution is shown in diagram 1. The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should be easily removable to allow easy access if technical assistance is needed. The space behind the kitchen unit ("b") can be used for connections. FO 2166 a) Removable panel b) Room for connections 8 20 min Building over a kitchen unit with oven If the hob is built into a kitchen unit with an oven underneath, the recess must have the dimensions shown in diagrams 2 and 3, and should also incorporate suitable oven crosspiece supports to ensure an efficient cooling air circulation. Diagrams 4 and 5 give two building-in examples. [. . . ]
