Operating Instructions
Igniting a Burner
- Ensure the gas supply is open.
- Push down the desired burner knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the ignition position (usually marked with a flame symbol).
- Hold the knob down for a few seconds until the flame ignites. The auto-electric ignition will spark automatically.
- Once ignited, release the knob. If the flame extinguishes, repeat the process.
- Adjust the flame intensity by turning the knob between the high and low flame settings.
Turning Off a Burner
To turn off a burner, turn the knob clockwise to the "OFF" position. Ensure the flame is completely extinguished.
Flame Failure Device (FFD)
Your hob is equipped with an FFD. If the flame accidentally goes out (e.g., due to a draft or spillage), the FFD will automatically cut off the gas supply to that burner, preventing gas leakage. When igniting, you must hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the FFD sensor to heat up and register the flame.
Maintenance & Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of your hob and ensure safe operation.
General Cleaning
- Always ensure the hob is cool before cleaning.
- Disconnect from the electrical supply and turn off the gas supply.
- Use a soft cloth and mild detergent for general cleaning.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that can damage the glass or metal surfaces.
Glass Top Care
- Do not place hot vessels directly on the glass surface after cooking; allow the hob to cool.
- Avoid spilling cold water or placing wet cloths on the hot glass surface, as this can cause thermal shock.
- Clean spills immediately once the hob has cooled to prevent staining.
Burners and Pan Supports
- Remove pan supports and burner caps/crowns for cleaning.
- Wash them with warm soapy water. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive scrubber can be used.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling them. Moisture can affect ignition.
- Periodically check burner holes for blockages and clean them with a fine wire or needle if necessary.
