Introducing your cooktop/hob Now that your new cooktop is installed and ready to use, you will want to know everything about it to ensure excellent results right from the start. This booklet will introduce you to the features and special talents of your cooktop/hob. We recommend you read the whole book before you start using your cooktop, for the sake of safety as well as success. First use Before using your cooktop clean it with warm soapy water to remove dust. Check that the electricity is switched on in order for the electronic ignition to work. Inspiration Wrap tasty morsels of oysters, smoked mussels or spicy sausage in strips of bacon. Secure bundles with skewers and lightly fry to serve as nibbles with drinks. Jet 9 1. Semi-Rapid burner 2. Rapid burner 3. Fish burner 4. Wok burner 5. Auxiliary burner 6.

Hold down the knob for 5 seconds until the burner lights. All the igniters will spark until the gas ignites on the selected burner. 3 The flame can be adjusted anywhere between the high symbol and the low symbol. Do Flame adjust not regulate the flame between high and off. (Titan knob shown) If the cooktop/hob does not light Check that you know how the flame failure device works (refer to page 4). Check that the power is switched on allowing the electronic ignition to work. Check the gas is turned on and coming out. Check that the burner rings are placed correctly. Clean electrode tips with a toothbrush and methylated spirits. If the burner has not ignited with 15 seconds, stop operating the igniter and wait at least 1 minute before attempting a further ignition of the burner. In the event of the burner flames being accidently extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least 1 minute. Power failure In the event of a power failure, the burners can be lit by holding a match close to the side of the burner and turning the control knob to the high flame symbol . Wait until the flame is burning all the way around the burner cap before adjusting. Heating tips When you need to boil, simmer or fry your food, first set the temperature to the high flame symbol . Once your pan is boiling, reduce the temperature setting to maintain a steady heat to cook your food through. This will reduce cooking time. Flame failure safety feature Your cooktop has a flame failure safety device fitted. A metal probe behind the burner generates electricity when a flame is present. After 5 seconds the metal probe gets hot enough to hold a valve open and maintain the gas supply. If the flame is blown out then the gas to the burner is cut off. To operate the flame failure you need to hold the burner knob down for 5 seconds after the burner has ignited. Letting go of the burner knob too soon will extinguish the flame. Your cooktop has two probes at the back of the burners, one will be the spark electrode and the other is the flame failure probe. Inspiration Make a delicious fruit compote by simmering rhubarb in sugar and water until tender. When cool, add fresh strawberries. Serve chilled. Cookware Using a wok When using a wok on the centre burner, simply turn over the pan support. One side provides a flat surface for flat based pots while the other side has stems specifically designed to support a wok. Care should be taken when using a large wok that other pots are not pushed sideways enough to become unstable or deflect heat onto nearby walls. WARNING! To avoid burns or scalds, do not attept to handle the pan support while it is hot. Wait until the pan support is cool before turning it over. Using saucepans Generally, larger saucepans are more efficient. It is a good idea to match the size of your pan with the cooking zone of the burner and always make sure pans are stable. Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can defect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface. Using the simmermat The Simmermat helps you control the temperature of your cooking surface to ensure the long slow simmering that is needed for successfully cooking delicate foods. Use at low heat only. Always remember it is a simmering utensil and exposure to extreme heat may distort it. Simmermat To use the simmermat 1 first cook the food, or bring to a boil, over high heat. 2 Then reduce the heat and carefully place the Simmermat over the flame with the points facing upward. Put your saucepan on top of the points and simmer on the low flame setting. WARNING! Always turn the burner off before moving the Simmermat and handle the hot Simmermat with tongs and/or pot holders to prevent burns.
