This document is a user manual for a Zanussi hob, specifically models ZGH62414WA, ZGH62414XA, and ZGH62414XS. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, safe use, maintenance, and troubleshooting of the appliance.
The Zanussi hob is a gas cooking appliance designed for household use. It features multiple burners (Rapid, Semi-rapid, and Auxiliary) controlled by individual knobs, allowing for precise flame regulation. The hob is equipped with an ignition system for lighting the burners and thermocouples to ensure gas supply is interrupted if the flame accidentally goes out, enhancing safety. The appliance is designed for cooking food and should not be used for other purposes like room heating.
The hob offers straightforward operation with control knobs for each burner. To ignite a burner, the user must push the control knob down and turn it counter-clockwise to the maximum gas supply position, holding it for a short period (equal to or less than 10 seconds) to allow the thermocouple to warm up. Once the flame is regular, it can be adjusted. If the burner doesn't light after a few tries, the user should check the position of the crown and cap. If the burner doesn't light within 15 seconds, the knob should be released, turned to the off position, and re-attempted after a minute. In case of an electricity outage, burners can be ignited manually using a flame. For turning off a burner, the knob is simply rotated to the off position.
The manual emphasizes several safety precautions during use. Users are warned against leaving the appliance unattended during operation and should always turn off cooking zones after use. It is crucial to avoid placing cutlery, saucepan lids, or metallic objects on the cooking zones as they can become hot. The appliance should not be operated with wet hands or when in contact with water. Users are also cautioned about the risks associated with cooking with fats and oils, which can release flammable vapours and cause fires if left unattended. Flammable products or items wet with flammable products should not be stored near or on the appliance.
Regarding cookware, the manual advises using stable pots with appropriate diameters for each burner and ensuring they are centrally positioned for stability and efficient gas consumption. Cast iron, clay, earthenware pots, grill, or toaster plates are not recommended as they can tarnish the stainless steel if overheated. Users should avoid placing the same pan on two burners or using unstable/damaged pots. It is also important to ensure pot handles are not above the front edge of the cooktop to prevent them from heating up. The flame should not go out when quickly turning the knob from maximum to minimum position.
The hob is designed with progressive valves for more precise flame regulation. The spark generator may start automatically when the mains are switched on after installation or a power cut, which is normal.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the hob's longevity and performance. The appliance should be cleaned after each use, ensuring cookware has a clean base. Scratches or dark stains on the surface do not affect hob operation. A special cleaner suitable for the hob's surface is recommended.
For stainless steel parts, washing with water and drying with a soft cloth is advised. Burnt food, fat, and stubborn stains should be soaked in a mild detergent before cleaning. Specific cleaning products designed for stainless steel should be used to protect the surfaces, avoiding corrosive chemicals, disinfectants, stain/rust removers, or immersion cleaners.
The pan supports are not dishwasher-safe and must be washed by hand. When cleaning, users should be careful of rough edges on the enamel coating. After cleaning, pan supports must be correctly positioned, with their arms aligned with the burner's centre for proper operation.
Immediate removal of melted plastic, plastic foil, sugar, and food with sugar is crucial to prevent damage to the hob, taking care to avoid burns. Limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, and metallic discoloration should be removed once the hob has cooled sufficiently, using a moist cloth and a non-abrasive detergent. Enamelled parts, caps, and crowns should be washed with warm soapy water and dried carefully before reassembly.
The spark plug, featuring a ceramic ignition candle and metal electrode, must be kept clean to prevent difficult lighting. The burner crown holes should also be checked for obstructions.
The manual also recommends periodic maintenance by an Authorised Service Centre to check the gas supply pipe and pressure adjuster conditions. Users are warned not to remove buttons, knobs, or gaskets from the control panel to prevent water from entering and damaging the appliance. Water spray and steam should not be used for cleaning. The appliance should be disconnected from the electrical supply before any maintenance.
