Usage Features:
- Ignition: To light a burner, push the control knob down and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum gas supply position. Keep the knob pushed for up to 10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to warm up and prevent the gas supply from being interrupted. Adjust the flame once it is regular.
- Flame Regulation: The hob is supplied with progressive valves for precise flame regulation, allowing users to adjust the heat from maximum to minimum.
- Safety Devices: The appliance includes a child safety device (if applicable) and thermocouples on each burner to automatically cut off the gas supply if the flame extinguishes.
- Cookware Compatibility: Users should use stable cookware with diameters appropriate for the size of the burners (Rapid: 180-260 mm, Semi-rapid: 120-240 mm, Auxiliary: 80-180 mm). Cookware should be centrally positioned on the burners for maximum stability and lower gas consumption.
- Energy Saving Tips: Recommendations include using correctly assembled burners and pan supports, selecting appropriate cookware diameters, centering pots, using only necessary water quantities, covering cookware with lids, turning down the flame to simmer once liquids boil, and using a pressure cooker where possible.
Maintenance Features:
- General Cleaning: The hob should be cleaned after each use. Melted plastic, sugar, and food with sugar should be removed immediately to prevent damage, taking care to avoid burns. Limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, and metallic discoloration should be removed once the hob is sufficiently cool using a moist cloth and a non-abrasive detergent.
- Stainless Steel Parts: Wash with water and dry with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, soak in mild detergent before cleaning. Use cleaning products specifically designed for stainless steel. Avoid corrosive chemicals, disinfectants, stain/rust removers, and immersion cleaners.
- Pan Supports: These are not dishwasher safe and must be washed by hand. After cleaning, ensure they are correctly positioned and aligned with the burner centers for proper operation.
- Burner Caps and Crowns: Wash with warm soapy water and dry carefully before reassembling.
- Spark Plug: Keep the ceramic ignition candle and metal electrode clean to prevent difficult lighting. Ensure burner crown holes are not obstructed.
- Periodic Maintenance: It is recommended to contact an Authorised Service Centre periodically to check the gas supply pipe and pressure adjuster (if fitted).
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a guide for common issues such as no spark, flame extinguishing after ignition, or uneven flame ring, along with possible causes and remedies. If issues persist, users are advised to contact their dealer or an Authorised Service Centre.
