Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner:
zturn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the
maximum position, then push it down to ignite the
burner;
zupon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1,
D) to be heated and the safety device to be switched
off, otherwise the gas supply would be interrupted.
zthen, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several attempts,
check the "cap" and “crown” (Fig. 1, A-B) are in the
correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol z.
When switching on the mains, after installation or
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

)
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.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
astheoverheatedsplashescouldeasilyignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.
Do not keep the control knob pressed for more
than 15 seconds.
If the burner does not light even after 15 seconds,
release the control knob, turn it the "off" position
and wait for at least one minute before trying to
light the burner again.

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 central 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 figure 2. Fig. 2

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite
or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water,
and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well
moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used
with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to
remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic and
metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter C). Keep these
components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties, and
check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.

Cast Iron Pan Supports
The hob has cast iron pan supports.
Take care when removing them. They are very heavy and
could damage the hob or your kitchen furniture if you let
them fall down.
To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they
are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob. When
removing the pan supports, lift them up as shown in the
diagram. Never turn the pan supports on the hinges, this
could damage them.
Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water. If
necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap impregnated steel
wool pad can be used with caution.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Building In
Building over a cupboard or
drawer
If the hob is to be installed above a cupboard or drawer it
will be necessary to fit a heat resistant board below the
base of the hob on the underside of the work surface.
It is also recommended to carry out the electrical
connection to the hob as shown in diagrams 1 and 2.
Building over a kitchen unit with
door
Proper arrangements must be taken in designing the
furniture unit, in order to avoid any contact with the bottom
of the hob which can be heated when it is operated. The
recommended solution is shown in diagram 3.
The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should be easily
removable to allow easy access if technical assistance
is needed. The space behind the kitchen unit ("b") can
be used for connections.

)
Fitting the Hob into the worktop
Carry out the building in of the hob as follows:
• put the seals supplied with the hob, on the
edges of the cut out: place them at 8 mm
from the front and rear edges of the cut
out and at 50 mm from the side edges,
as shown in the diagram, taking care that
the seals meet without overlapping;
• place the hob in the cut out, taking care that it
is centred;
• fix the hob with the relevant fixing clamps and
screws, as shown in the diagram. When the
screws have been tightened, the excess seal
can be removed.
The edge of the hob forms a double seal which prevents
the ingress of liquids.

Electrical connections
Any electrical work required to install this hob
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person, in accordance with the current
regulations.
THISHOBMUSTBEEARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
This hob is designed to be connected to a 230 V 50
Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the hob rating
plate. The rating plate is located on the bottom of the
hob. A copy is attached on the back cover of this book.
The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cable
incorporating a 3amp plug fitted. In the event of having to
change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse
must be used.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, the
wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
— Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to
the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter 'E' or the earth symbol or coloured
green and yellow.
— Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'N'
or coloured black.
— Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter 'L' or
coloured red.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands
of wire present and the cable clamp must be secure over
the outer sheath.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is
a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that
the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
Permanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary
that you install a double pole switch between the hob
and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap
of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and of a type
suitable for the required load in compliance with the
current electric regulations.

Fault Finding
Preliminary Electrical Systems
Check
A.EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK-Appliance must
be electrically disconnected - meter set on Ω
(Ohms) x 1 scale and adjust zero if necessary.
a) Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth
pin on plug. Resistance should be less than
0.1 Ω (Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity
and all contacts are clean and tight.
B. INSULATION CHECK - Appliance electrically
disconnected, all switches ON.
a) meter set on Ω(Ohms) x 1 scale.
Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal
block. If meter reads «0» then there is a short
circuit.
b) meter set on Ω (Ohm) x 100 scale.
Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads
less than ∞(infinity) there is a fault.
NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed
but no fault is indicated - a detailed continuity check
(i.e. by disconnecting and checking each
component) is required to trace the faulty
component.
It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of
local burning/arcing but no fault could be found under
test. However a detailed visual inspection should
reveal evidence of burning around the fault.
