NOTES:

• The electric ignition is incorporated in the knobs.
• The appliance has a safety valve system fitted, the flow of gas will be stopped if and when the flame should accidentally go out

USING GAS BURNERS

• Check that the electricity is switched on to allow spark ignition.
  Make sure that all controls are turned to “ ” (burner off).

• The gas flow to the burner is controlled by a tap incorporating a safety cut off valve. If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow. The switch of the electric ignition is incorporated in the knobs.

• You control the flow by turning the knob indicator to line up with the following symbols:

  • Symbol : tap closed  (burner off)
  • Symbol : High (maximum)
  • Symbol 1 : Low (minimum)

• You can control the temperature by the knob to “High” (maximum) from “Low” “Minimum”.

• Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions and never between the maximum aperture and the “ ” (off) position.

• To switch off, turn the knob clockwise until you hear the safety click – “ ” (off) position.

• Note that, if you are using a burner at the minimum setting, you turn the knob clockwise past the maximum setting before reaching the off position.

• Whenever lighting any of the burners produces an abnormal flame, switch that burner
  off and relight using the minimum setting.

• If after relighting the burner, the flame is still abnormal, turn the burner off and contact our Customer Service Centre to obtain the nearest authorized Elba Appl. AUS Service Agent.

• In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.

• Note: When the cooker top is not being used, check the gas knobs are in their closed position and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED WITH FLAME FAILURE SAFETY DEVICE

In order to light the burner, you must:

1. Turn the knob (figs. 8a – 8b) in anti-clockwise direction up to the maximum aperture (symbol “ ”), push in and hold the knob; this will light the gas. If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.

2. Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the knob (valve activation delay).
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
4. After use, turn the knob to the “ ” (off ) position.

Important

• If the burner flame should go out, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow.
• To re-light the burner, return the knob to closed “ ” position (burner off), wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
• N.B. If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.

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.
• For optimum efficiency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.
• Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.
• Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are offset.
• It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally knocked.
• When deep fat frying:
  • Fill the pan only one third full of oil.
  • DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
  • In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
  • Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
  • DO NOT use water on the fire.
  • Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.

WARNING – VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE
During use cooking vessels become hot. Pay special attention not to touch the hot vessels positioned on the cooking hob especially when operating the control knobs.

(*) double-ring compact or double-ring burner (depending on models) with wok adapter correctly fitted

WOK STAND (THE WOK PAN ADAPTOR IS NOT SUPPLIED WITH THE APPLIANCE BUT IT CAN BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY) (figs. 11 – 12) This special grille for woks should be placed over the pan-rest for the double-ring compact or double ring 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.

Use only a wok support supplied or recommended by the manufacturer of the appliance.
