Need help?Do you have a question about the NEFF T26BR46W0 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document serves as an instruction manual for the NEFF T26BR4.... and T26BR5.... gas hobs, providing essential information on their function, usage, and maintenance.
The NEFF gas hob is a built-in appliance designed for domestic cooking purposes. It operates on gas and features multiple burners with varying power outputs to accommodate diverse cooking needs. The T26BR4.... model includes an economy burner (1 kW), standard-output burners (1.75 kW), and a high-output burner (3 kW). The T26BR5.... model, in addition to the economy and standard-output burners, features a mini wok burner (3.3 kW). Each burner is controlled by a dedicated knob, allowing for precise flame adjustment from minimum to maximum power.
A key safety feature of this appliance is the thermocouple system, which automatically cuts off the gas supply if a burner's flame is accidentally extinguished. This prevents the accumulation of unburned gas, reducing the risk of deflagration. The hob is equipped with ignition sparkers for automatic ignition, ensuring a quick and convenient start to cooking.
The appliance is designed for use in well-ventilated areas and is suitable for installation in kitchens, but not on yachts or in caravans. It is factory-set to a specific gas type, as indicated on the specifications plate, but can be converted to other gas types by an authorized technician if necessary.
Operating the gas hob involves a straightforward process. To switch on a burner manually, the user presses and turns the corresponding control knob anticlockwise to the desired setting, then brings a lighter or flame close to the burner until it ignites. For automatic ignition (if available), the user presses and turns the control knob anticlockwise to the maximum power setting. Sparks are produced on all burners while the knob is held down, igniting the flame. Once ignited, the knob is released and adjusted to the required power level. It is crucial to hold the control knob down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame to ensure the safety system is activated. If a flame does not ignite within 15 seconds, the burner should be switched off, and the area ventilated before attempting to relight.
The control knobs offer progressive power adjustment, allowing users to select the ideal flame intensity for various cooking tasks, from a high flame for rapid boiling to a low flame for simmering. The manual provides a cooking guidelines table, recommending appropriate burners and power levels for different types of food and cooking methods, such as boiling, steaming, griddling, toasting, and slow cooking.
The manual also emphasizes the importance of using suitable cooking pans to ensure safety and energy efficiency. Pans should be the correct size for each burner, with a thick, flat base, and should always be centered over the burner. Damaged pans or those that do not sit evenly on the hob should be avoided. Lids should be used during cooking to conserve energy. The appliance also supports various accessories, such as an additional wok grid for wok burners, an espresso maker grid for the smallest burner, and a simmer plate for economy or standard-output burners, enhancing its versatility. These accessories must be used correctly and placed on the pan supports, not directly on the burner.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the NEFF gas hob. After each use, once the appliance has cooled, the surface of the hob and individual burner parts should be cleaned with soap and water. It is important to remove any food residue or grease promptly, as baked-on substances can become difficult to remove later and can impede proper flame ignition if they block the holes and grooves of the burners.
The burners and pan supports should be cleaned using soapy water and a non-wire brush. If the pan supports have rubber rests, these should also be cleaned carefully to prevent them from coming loose or scratching the hob. All burner parts and pan supports must be completely dried after cleaning to prevent damage to the enamel. After drying, it is crucial to ensure that the burner caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.
For stainless steel zones, such as the grease drip tray and burner outlines, which may change color due to high temperatures, a suitable stainless steel cleaning product is recommended. The manual advises against using steam cleaners, as they can damage the hob, and warns against allowing acidic liquids (e.g., lemon juice, vinegar) to remain on the hob surface. It is also important not to remove the control elements during cleaning to prevent moisture from entering and damaging the appliance.
The manual also includes a troubleshooting section to help users identify and resolve common issues, such as burners not igniting or uneven flames, before contacting customer service. This section provides possible causes and corresponding solutions, often related to cleaning, correct positioning of burner components, or gas supply issues. For any issues that cannot be resolved, the customer service contact information is provided, emphasizing the importance of professional repair by authorized technicians using original spare parts.
