Using the gas hob
IMPORTANT: You should clean the hob surface (see
“Cleaning and maintenance” section).
The following symbols will appear on the control panel, next to each
control knob:
Black circle: gas off
Large flame: maximum setting
Small flame: minimum setting
oThe minimum setting is at the end of the anti-clockwise rotation
of the control knob.
oAll operation positions must be selected between the maximum
and minimum positions.
oNever select a knob position between the maximum and off
position.
Automatic electric ignition
To ignite a burner:
oPress in the control knob of the burner that you wish to light and
turn it anti-clockwise to the minimum position.
oIf you keep the control knob depressed, the automatic ignition
for the burner will operate.
oAs each burner has a flame failure safety device, once the burner
has lit, you will need to keep the control knob pressed in for
approximately 10 seconds.
oIf after you let go of the control knob, the flame goes out, you
should repeat the above process.
oIn case of power failure, the burners can be lit by carefully using
a match.
oIf the burner flame goes out once it is lit, then the flame failure
safety device will cut the supply of gas to the burner.

11
Energy saving tips
oThe diametre of the bottom of the pan should correspond to that
of the burner.
oThe burner flame must never extend beyond the diametre of the
pan.
oUse flat bottomed pans only
oWhen possible, keep a lid on the pan whilst cooking.
oCook vegetables with as little water as possible, to reduce
cooking times.
IMPORTANT: Always place pans centrally over the hob burners and
position them so that the handles cannot get accidentally caught or
knocked off. You should also make sure that the handle is not over one
of the other hob burner flames.

12
Cleaning
Cleaning operations must only be carried out when
the hob is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
Cleaning the hob top
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning
agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with
water and a little washing up.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface;
you should clean it using water and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the
hob surface is still warm. Make sure that the hob surface,
pan supports and hob burners have all cooled sufficiently
before you attempt to touch them.
After each use
oRemove the pan supports and wipe the appliance over with a
damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
oDry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a soft, clean cloth.
Cleaning the hob burners
The hob burners should be cleaned once a week or more frequently if
they get soiled.
oIMPORTANT: Make sure that the hob surface, pan supports and
hob burners have cooled before you attempt to touch them.

from the hob top.
oSoak them for about ten minutes in hot water and a little
detergent.
oAfter cleaning and washing them, wipe and dry them carefully.
oBefore placing the burners back on the hob top, make sure that
the gas jet is not blocked.

13
oIMPORTANT: Make sure that you reassemble the burners in the
original way.
