Operation
Hob Burners
To li ht a burner:
lpush in the relevant control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to maximum position;
lMod. EHG 66: upon i nition, keep the knob pushed
down about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fi . 1 - letter D) to be heated and
the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the
as supply would be interrupted;
lthen adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not i nite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try a ain.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fittin the size of
the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Lar e (triple-crown) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causin the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boilin , turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmerin .
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 ok 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 fittin the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the
frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as
shown in the dia ram.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleanin can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spilla e can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Re ularly wipe over the hob top usin a soft cloth well
wrun out in warm water to which a little washin up liquid
has been added. Avoid the use of the followin :
- household deter ent and bleaches;
- impre nated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Pan Supports and ok Stand
The pan supports and the Wok Stand are dishwasher
proof. If washin them by hand, take care when dryin
them as the enamellin process occasionally leaves
rou h ed es. If necessay, remove stubborn stains usin
a paste cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleanin .
Wash the burner caps and crowns usin hot soapy water,
and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well
moistened soap impre nated steel wool pad can be used
with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleanin , be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric i nition is obtained throu h a ceramic
"electrode" and a metal electrode (Fi . 1 - letter C). Keep
these components very clean, to avoid li htin difficulties,
and check that the burner crown holes are not
obstructed.
