A - Burner cap B - Burner crown C - Ignition electrode D - Thermocouple Fig. 1 In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case approach the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the"maximum" position. When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically. 7 Using the hob correctly To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside). Burner Large (rapid) Medium (semi-rapid) Small (auxiliary) minimum diameter 160 mm 120 mm 80 mm maximum diameter 260 mm 220 mm 160 mm As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering. 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. Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-heated. Prolonged cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil to protect the top during use. Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of the cooktop and that they are centrally positioned on the rings in order to obtain lower gas consumption. Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they could tip over or spill their contents, causing accidents. If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force Centre. 8 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. This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine. The pan supports The pan supports can be removed to easily clean the hob. After cleaning the hob, make sure the pan supports are correctly positioned. Pay attention when replacing the pan supports in order to avoid scratching the glass hob top. If washing the pan supports by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner. Fig. 2 The hob top Clean the hob while it is still warm. Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powders, or sponges with an abrasive effect. Special cleaning agents and ceramic hob scrapers are available from department stores. Slight, non-burnt soilage can be wiped off with a damp cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a scraper. Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hob with a damp cloth. SYMPTOM # SOLUTION $ There is no spark when lighting the gas. Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical supply is switched on.
