manual abstract
Fig. 1. It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan supports are correctly installed for the appliance to work correctly. Fig. 2-3. 1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the required setting. 2. Use any type of lighter or flame (cigarette lighter, matches, etc.) and bring it close to the burner. If your hob can be switched on automatically (ignition sparkers): 1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum power setting. While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer necessary to press down the control knob). 2. Turn the control knob to the required setting. If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds). Warning! If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite, switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door. Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner on. Safety system Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this device is active, switch on the burner as usual and, without releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame. Ignition sparker Thermocouple Switching off a burner Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 setting. The progressive control knobs can be used to control the Power levels power needed, from minimum to maximum power. Control knob Setting off Maximum capacity or High flame aperture and electricity on Minimum Low flame capacity or aperture Warnings It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the burner is operating. When it is 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. 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. An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc. The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas appliance is used. You must therefore ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood). If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods, you may require additional ventilation (e.g. by opening a window) or more effective ventilation (e.g. by increasing the hob's ventilation, if possible). 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 one minute.

Food can be prepared in various ways in a wok: it can be stewed, stir fried, cooked on a low heat, pan-fried or steamed. It could be said that woks serve as both as a saucepan and a frying pan and, owing to their shape and size, they can be used to cook quite large ingredients. When cooking with a wok, heat is diffused more uniformly and gently; the intense heat which accumulates means that food takes less time to cook and also requires less oil, making it one of the quickest and healthiest ways of cooking. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when cooking with a wok pan. Depending on the model, the hob may include the Accessories following accessories. These are also available from the Technical Assistance Service. Additional wok pan support Wok pan Additional wok pan support: to be used exclusively on double and triple-flame burners with concave-based pans. Using these pans may cause some temporary deformation of the grease splash tray. This is normal and does not affect the operation of the appliance. Pan support: code HEZ298107. Wok pan: code HEZ298103. Additional coffee maker support Only for use on the auxiliary burner with pans which are no more than 12 cm in diameter. Code HEZ298115. Simmer Plate This accessory has been designed to reduce the level of heat at the lowest power setting. Place the accessory directly on the pan support with the cones facing upwards, never directly over the burner. Centre the pan over the accessory. Code HEZ298105. Simmer Cap This is a burner which is exclusively suited for cooking...
