2. Push and turn burner control knob to HI/ lighting
position. As soon as the burner ame lights move
your hand away. With your other hand, keep
holding the knob pressed for a few seconds so
that the burner safety device can ‘sense’ the heat
of the ame.
3. Turn burner control knob to OFF position when
nished.
You can remove the burner cap and head for
cleaning, see page 24.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the
range around the cooktop burners as soon as
possible after spills occur.
Note:
Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking
of the grates. This does not aect the durability of
the enamel and may be cleaned o with a metal
polish.
Make sure ames are under the pans. For safety reasons,
adjust the ames so that they do not extend beyond the
edge of the cooking utensil. This instruction is based on
safety considerations.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned base
rims should not be used.
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are NOT
recommended. They will reduce burner performance and
could damage the grates.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may tilt
easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk
pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter
recommended is 4

The Wok burner is designed to provide even heat over a
large area. It is ideal for large pans and stir frying. When
using large pans ensure that the pan does not over hang
the edge of the cooktop. For heating smaller pans the
smaller burners may be more ecient.
When a cooktop burner knob is pressed in,
sparks will be made at every burner, this is
normal.
If after lighting, a cooktop burner’s ame goes
out, turn it o and leave it for one minute before
relighting it.
Igniting Cooktop Burners without Electricity
If there is a power failure, the cooktop burners can
be lit with a match.

from the burner as possible.
