1800 W Burner (up to

Dual double flame burner

There are indications to show which burner each control knob operates. Fig. 1.

It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and the pan supports are correctly installed for the appliance to work correctly. Fig. 2-3-4-5.

Switching on manually

1. Press the chosen burner control 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 features the automatic ON function

(ignition sparkers):

Switching on automatically

1. Press the chosen burner control and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.

While the control is still pressed down, sparks are produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer necessary to press down the control). 2. Turn the control to the required setting. If it does not come on, turn the control to the off setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and hold the control for longer (up to 10 seconds). Warning! If after 15 seconds have elapsed, 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 back on.

Depending on the model, your hob may have a safety system (thermocopuple) 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, press and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.

Switching off a burner

Turn the corresponding control clockwise to the 0 setting.

The progressive controls can be used to control the power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

Maximum capacity or aperture and electricity on

Minimum capacity or aperture

For dual double flame burners, the inner and outer flames can be controlled separately.

The available power levels are as follows:

Inner and outer flame on full power.

Outer flame on minimum, inner flame on full power.

Inner flame on full power.

Inner flame on minimum.

It is normal to hear a whistling noise while the burner is operating.

When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off fumes; 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 an extractor hood.

If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods additional ventilation may be required, for example, by opening a window; more effective ventilation may also be required, for example, by increasing the hob’s ventilation, if possible.

If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the burner operating control and do not try to relight it for at least one minute.

A wok is a cooking vessel originating in China; it is a kind of deep, round, lightweight pan with handles and a flat or concave base.

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.

Operating the electric hob with double hotplate

Models equipped with a ceramic hob are dual circuit hobs and therefore include two hotplates, a central 700 W hotplate and another complete 1800 W hotplate, if your appliance operates on 230 V.

Switching on and off

The small hotplate (central hotplate), is switched on by turning the control clockwise to setting 0 to unlock it, after which the control can be positioned to any of the settings marked from 1 to 9. Fig. 6:

Setting 1: low power. Setting 9: full power.

If you also want to use the extendable hotplate, the control must be turned beyond setting 9 (Fig. 6a) and then positioned to setting 9 (maximum heat setting) or set to any other intermediate setting for lower heat levels. To use the small hotplate again, turn the control anticlockwise to setting 0, and switch on again.

The residual heat/operating indicator light will go out once the surface of the hob has cooled down.

It is recommended to start cooking on full power and then to use the intermediate settings after a few minutes.

Do not allow liquids to be spilt on the surface of the electric hob. Do not cook with wet pans.

The electric hob can be switched off slightly before the end of the cooking time. The residual heat will enable you to continue cooking for several minutes, thus saving energy.

Melting: chocolate, butter, gelatine

Cooking: rice, white sauce and ragout.

Cooking: potatoes, pasta, vegetables

Only for use on the auxiliary burner with pans which are no more than 12 cm in diameter.

The manufacturer accepts no liability if these additional pan supports are not used or are used incorrectly.

The following advice is intended to help you save energy and prevent cookware damage: Use pans which are the right size for each burner.

Ñä~ãÉ=ëÜçìäÇ=åçí=íçìÅÜ=íÜÉ=ëáÇÉë=çÑ=êÉÅÉéí~ÅäÉëK= Do not use damaged cookware, which does not sit evenly on the hob. Pans may be overturned. Only use a pan with thick, flat base.

aç=åçí=Åççâ=ïáíÜçìí=äáÇë=çê=ïáíÜ=äáÇë=çåäó=é~êíá~ääó=

ÅçîÉêáåÖ=êÉÅÉéí~ÅäÉëK=vçì=~êÉ=ï~ëíáåÖ=ÉåÉêÖóK= = = Always place the cookware right over the burner, not to one side. Otherwise it could be overturned. Do not place large pans on the burners near the controls. These may be damaged by the very high temperatures. Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on the burner. Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.

Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.

Make sure that the pan supports and burner covers are correctly positioned before using the appliance.

Cleaning and maintenance

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap and water.

After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any bits are left (overcooked food, drops of grease etc.), however few, they will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly. The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports. Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and scrub with a non-wire brush. If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan support may scratch the hob. Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking may damage the enamel. After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner covers are correctly placed on the burner flame diffuser.

Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may scratch it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass. Never strike any part of the hob.

Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob. Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food from the hob. If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never use a knife, scraper or similar to clean the point where it joins the metal. Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements to clean the point where the glass meets the burner trims, the metal frames or the glass/aluminium panels, if fitted.

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.

Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and vegetables will scratch the glass surface. Melted sugar, or foods which contain a lot of sugar which may have spilt, should be cleaned off the hotplate immediately, using the glass scraper.

Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved. Before calling the Technical Assistance Service, bear in mind the following advice: Fault
