4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Using the Burners
- Ensure the gas supply to the hob is open.
- Place your cookware centrally on the pan support over the desired burner.
- Push down and turn the corresponding control knob counter-clockwise to the "High" flame position. The auto-electric ignition will spark, igniting the gas.
- Hold the knob down for a few seconds after ignition to allow the flame failure device to activate. Release the knob; the flame should remain lit.
- Adjust the flame intensity by turning the knob between the "High" and "Low" positions.
- To turn off the burner, turn the control knob clockwise to the "Off" position.
4.2. Flame Failure Safety Device (FFD)
The FFD is a safety feature that automatically cuts off the gas supply to a burner if its flame accidentally extinguishes (e.g., due to a draft or liquid spillage). This prevents unburnt gas from accumulating. If a flame goes out, the FFD will activate within a few seconds. To re-ignite, wait for a moment, then repeat the ignition process.
5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hob.
5.1. General Cleaning
- Always ensure the hob is cool and the gas supply is turned off before cleaning.
- Use a soft cloth and mild detergent for the tempered glass surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- For stubborn stains, use a specialized glass hob cleaner.
5.2. Burners and Pan Supports
- Remove the pan supports and burner caps/crowns when cool.
- Wash them with warm soapy water. For heavy grease, a degreaser may be used.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling them. Blocked burner holes can affect flame quality.
- Periodically check the ignition pins and FFD sensors for any food residue and clean gently with a soft brush if necessary.
