Hotplate Burners

The drawing below each knob indicates which 

burner that knob controls. There is a spark 

ignition system that works when the knob is 

pressed in. Each burner also has a special safety 

device that stops the flow of gas if the flame 

goes out.

Push in and turn a knob to the large flame symbol 

( ).

Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas 

through to the burner for few seconds. The igniter 

should spark and light the gas.

If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner 

goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn 

the control to the off position and wait one minute, 

then try again this time holding in the control knob 

for slightly longer.

Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob.

On this cooker the low position is beyond high, 

not

between high and off. The small flame marks the 

‘low position’. Turn the knob towards it after the 

contents of a pan have boiled.

Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid 

will help the contents boil more quickly.

Pans and kettles with concave bases or down 

turned base rims should not be used.

Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, 

are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner 

performance and could damage the pan supports.

Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may 

tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter 

e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. 

Mimimum    pan  sizes

The minimum pan diameter recommended 

is 120mm (about 4

and 160mm (about 6

/

8

”) for the centre 

burner.

When hotplate control knob is pressed in, 

sparks will be made at every burner, this is 

normal.

If after lighting, a hotplate burner’s flame goes 

out, turn it off and leave it for one minute 

before relighting it.

You can remove the burner head for 

cleaning, see ’Cleaning your cooker’.

You should wipe the top surface of the cooker 

around the hotplate burners as soon as 

possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off 

while the hotplate is still warm.
