User manual

When cooking is complete, do not leave food
to stand in the oven, but remove and cool it
quickly if the food is not to be consumed im-
mediately.
Always ensure food in the oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.
The gas hob
The gas hob has different burner sizes to suit
different types of cooking:
To ensure maximum burner efficiency only
use pots and pans with flat bases appropri-
ate to the burner size used.
Larger burner (Rapid or triple crown where
applicable) - use a large pan for food such as
chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering
foods such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any
burner is 230mm (9").
The base of the smallest pan should not
measure less than 100mm (4").
Warning! Ensure the pan supports are
correctly fitted before using the hob.
To light the hob burners
The hob ignition works by means of an elec-
tric spark system.
1. Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hob
when the lid is down.
2. Push in and hold the control knob, turn to
the large flame symbol (highest setting)
and press the ignition button immediate-
ly. Keep the control knob depressed for
up to 5 seconds, but no longer than 10
seconds. After this time release the con-
trols. The flame should remain alight. If
after 10 seconds the burner has not lit,
stop operating the appliance and wait at
least 1 min before attempting a further ig-
nition of the burner.
3. When the burner has lit release the con-
trol and ignition button, adjust the setting
as required.
Warning! Warning: If the ignition button
is not pressed immediately a build up of
gas may cause the flame to spread.
Warning! If you close the lid of the
appliance while any of the hotplate
burners are lit, the gas will go out. This
is because it would be dangerous if the
burners stayed on when the lid was
closed.
Always use the control knob to turn off a
burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off
device. This will only cut off the gas when
the lid is closed. The gas will flow again
when the lid is opened.
To turn off any burner
1. Turn the control knob to the off position.
Warning! When lighting any burner,
ensure that it is lit before you leave the
appliance. When turning off a burner,
ensure the flame has gone out before
leaving the appliance.
Warning! In the event of the burner
flames being accidentally extinguished,
turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to reignite the burner for at least
1 min.
Things to note
If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob
burner turn all the hob controls off and make
sure the burner parts have been replaced
correctly.
Warning! Do not use the lid as a work
surface or chopping board. This could
damage the glass and reduce its
strength.
Warning! Place pans on the centre of
the burners.
Position pans so the handles cannot be
accidentally knocked or overhang the
appliance.
Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do
not slide them across the hob.
Warning! Take care to avoid burns and
scalds when reaching across the
hotplate.
Warning! Take extra care when deep fat
frying, do not cover the pan with a lid. Do
not leave a pan unattended. If the pan
catches fire, leave it where it is and turn
off all controls. Place a damp cloth or a
fitting lid over the pan to smother the
flames. Never put water on the fire.
Leave to cool for 30 minutes.
