5. Operating Instructions
Igniting a Burner:
- Ensure the gas supply to the hob is open.
- Place appropriate cookware on the pan support over the desired burner.
- Push down the corresponding control knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the maximum flame position (large flame symbol).
- The auto electric ignition will click, and the burner will ignite. Hold the knob down for a few seconds after ignition to allow the thermocouple to heat up and activate the flame failure device.
- Once the burner is lit, release the knob. If the flame extinguishes, repeat the process.
Adjusting the Flame:
After ignition, you can adjust the flame intensity by rotating the control knob between the maximum and minimum flame positions (large and small flame symbols). Do not set the flame below the minimum position, as it may extinguish.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hob. Always ensure the hob is cool and the gas supply is turned off before cleaning.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Surface:
- Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild detergent and warm water.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the stainless steel finish.
- Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
Cleaning Burners and Pan Supports:
- Remove the pan supports and burner components (burner caps and crowns) when cool.
- Wash them with warm soapy water. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cleaner can be used.
- Ensure all components are completely dry before reassembling them. Blocked burner holes can affect flame quality.
- Properly align burner caps and crowns during reassembly to ensure correct flame distribution.
