COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS ■■ The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy required. ■■ The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat or foods that are cooked quickly, and the smallest for stews and sauces. ■■ Always ensure that you use the correct size of saucepan. ■■ For fast boiling, make sure the flame just reaches the edge of the pan. Flames going up the side of the pan means wasted heat and the contents of the pan will take longer to boil.
Figure 13 WOK STAND (figs. 14 - 15) This special grille for woks should be placed over the pan-rest for the triple-ring compact, triple ring or Dual burner (depending on models). Warning: ■■ The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support. ■■ To use the WOK, you must place the wok stand in the CORRECT position as shown. IMPORTANT: The special grille for wok pans MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest for the triple-ring compact, triple ring or Dual burner (depending on models).
Do not place anything, e.g. flame tamer, asbestos mat, between pan and pan support as serious damage to the appliance may result. Do not remove the pan support and enclose the burner with a wok stand as this will concentrate and deflect heat onto the hotplate. Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the pan support or deflect flame onto the hotplate. Locate pan centrally over the burner so that it is stable and does not overhang the appliance.
CLEANING and MAINTENANCE GENERAL ADVICE ■■ Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the electrical power supply. ■■ Important: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is recommended when handling or cleaning of this appliance. ■■ Under no circumstances should any external covers be removed for servicing or maintenance except by suitable qualified personnel.
ENAMELLED PARTS ■■ All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other non-abrasive products. ■■ Dry preferably with a soft cloth. ■■ If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque. GAS TAPS ■■ In the event of operating faults in the gas taps, call the Service Department. IMPORTANT WARNING NEVER unscrew the burner plate fixing screws (fig. 17).
BURNERS ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ ■■ These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products. After cleaning, the burners and their flame spreaders must be well dried and correctly replaced. Check that the electrode/s “S” (figs. 18, 20) next to each burner is/are always clean to ensure trouble-free sparking. Check that the probe/s “T” (figs. 18, 20) next to each burner is/are always clean to ensure correct operation of the safety valves. Both the probe and ignition plug must be very carefully cleaned.
