Hob burners

To light a burner:

Push the electric ignition button which is marked with

a little spark ( ).

At the same time, push in and turn the relevant control

knob anticlockwise to maximum position.

Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about five

seconds until the safety valve (“thermocouple  - Fig.

1-D”) automatically keeps the flame lit.

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.

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.

Using the Hob

Using the Wok Stand

A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round

bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be

used on the triple crown burner, and should not be used

with any other type of wok or pan.

When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the

frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as

shown in the diagram (Fig. 2 - b).

Triple-crown burner

Always ignite the burner before putting the

pans on.

If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite,

check that the burner cap and crown are correctly

positioned (Fig. 3).

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
