4.2. Gas Connection
Connect the hob to the gas supply using appropriate fittings and flexible pipes, ensuring all connections are leak-free. Use only approved gas regulators and hoses.
4.3. Battery Installation for Ignition
Locate the battery compartment (usually at the bottom or side of the hob). Insert the required battery (typically a D-cell) according to the polarity markings. This powers the automatic ignition.
4.4. Burner Assembly
Place the burner caps and crowns correctly onto their respective burner bases. Ensure they are seated firmly and level. Then, place the cast iron vessel supports over the burners.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Lighting a Burner
- Ensure the gas supply valve is open.
- Push down the desired control knob and rotate it counter-clockwise to the "Ignite" or maximum flame position.
- The automatic ignition system will generate sparks, lighting the burner.
- Once the burner is lit, hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple (safety device) to heat up.
- Release the knob and adjust the flame to the desired intensity by rotating it further counter-clockwise (for lower flame) or clockwise (for higher flame).
- If the burner does not light, release the knob, wait a few seconds for gas to disperse, and repeat the process.
5.2. Turning Off a Burner
To turn off a burner, rotate the control knob clockwise until it clicks into the "OFF" position. Ensure the flame is completely extinguished.
5.3. Burner Usage Guidelines
- Use appropriate sized cookware for each burner to maximize efficiency and prevent heat loss.
- The 100mm triple ring burner is suitable for larger vessels and faster cooking.
- The 90mm and 70mm double ring burners are versatile for various cooking needs.
- Always ensure the flame is contained within the base of the cooking vessel.
6. Care and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your gas hob. Always ensure the hob is cool and the gas supply is turned off before cleaning.
6.1. Cleaning the Glass Top
- Wipe the toughened glass surface with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution.
- For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive glass cleaner.
- Avoid using abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or sharp objects that could scratch the glass.
- The heavy silicon pads prevent water seepage, making cleaning easier and safer.
6.2. Cleaning Burners and Vessel Supports
- Remove the cast iron vessel supports, burner caps, and crowns.
- Wash these components with warm soapy water. For brass burners, avoid harsh detergents that may tarnish the finish.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling them. Blocked burner holes can affect flame quality.
- Clean the spark tips with a dry cloth to ensure proper ignition.
