Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours. This does not pose any risk and does not
indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids,
etc.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch
off the burner operating control knob and do not try to
relight it for at least 1 minute.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean
them periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in
mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any
serious impacts.

Use pans which are the
right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
must not touch the sides
of the pan.
Do not use damaged
pans, which do not sit
evenly on the hob. Pans
may tip over.
Only use pans with a
thick, flat base.
Do not cook without using
a lid and make sure the lid
is properly fitted. This
wastes energy.
Always centre the pan over
the burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans
on the burners near the
control knobs. These may
be damaged by the very
high temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on
the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps
are correctly positioned
before using the
appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and
do not place excessive
weight on it.
