Ignition burners

1. Check to make sure that the gas supply is accessible and set up with the necessary and appropriate fittings/connectors.

2. Tum all control knobs to off position.

3. This device is fitted with a safety tap to control the gas flow. When the dot on the knob lines up with the following symbols on the panel, these conditions prevail:
   To close, rotate the knob to the right until you feel the tap’s distinct click.

4. To ignite, hold the knob and depress for several seconds, rotate it to maximum gas flow position. For models with thermocouple, keep the knob depressed about 5-8
   seconds, otherwise the flame will extinguish.

5. If the burner does not light the first time, repeat Step 4.

6. If the flame extinguishes suddenly, repeat Step 4.

7. When using the unit again Immediately after having once turned it off, wait for about ten seconds before re-igniting.

8. Each burner has its own Independent Igniter.

For burner fitted with a flame supervision device, if after 15 seconds of ignition operation the burner has not lit, stop operating the device and wait at least 1 minute before attempting a further ignition of the burner.

Using the hob correctly

• To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that the flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (fable 1).
• It is also advisable, as soon as the liquid starts boiling, to tum down the flame so that It will barely keep the liquid simmering.

Choice of burner

• A semi-rapid burner is for special low heat, simmering and slow cooking.
• A wok burner is for very fast heating using a wok or large pan.

NOTE:- Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster cooking than a narrow one.

Always use pots which properly fit what you have to cook.

Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small for liquids, since these could easily overflow.
The pans should not be too large for a faster cooking.
You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the bumer, in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing gas consumption as in Fig 12.
It Is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and as soon as the liquid starts to boil, lower the flame enough to keep the boiling point.

Glass top

• Persistent stains may require vigorous rubbing with nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers. Household enamel cleaners are available, follow the manufacturer
  instructions in their use. Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes should not be used.

• Do not use the glass top as a work table.

Burner caps & crowns

• These can all be lifted off and removed for separate cleaning.
• Ensure burner caps and crowns are thoroughly dried after cleaning or spillage.
• When cleaning the burner, ensure that all the flame ports, injector hole and other holes are free of any blockage.  (Fig 13,14)
• If necessary, use a matchstick or brush tocar ports.
• After cleaning, ensure the burner caps are reassembled properly into position.
• After cleaning service, when assembling the burner crown and caps, care must be taken to ensure the spark plug is not knocked. The spark plug will crack if knocked and may give rise to flame ignition problem.

NOTE:- When refitting the burner caps & crowns, ensure that they are correctly seated.

What to do if

WARNING:-

• Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this hob while in operation. Some propellant gases can break down when heated and produce corrosive vapours which will attack some materials.
• Articles which are made from flammable materials should not be stored in drawers or cupboards immediately below this hob.
