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 fl ow of gas if the fl ame goes out.
Push in and turn a knob to the large fl ame 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 fl ame height to suit by turning the knob.
On this cooker the low position is beyond high, not
between high and off . The small fl ame marks the ‘low
position’. Turn the knob towards it after the contents of
a pan have boiled.
Make sure fl ames 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.
Minimum pan sizes
The minimum pan diameter recommended is
120mm (about 43/4”) for the outer burners and
160mm (about 63/8”) 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 fl ame 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.
Note:
Use of aluminium pans may cause metallic marking
of the pan supports. This does not aff ect the
durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off
with a metal cleaner such as ‘Brasso’.
