Get to know your cooking hob: Pan support

Double-flame burner A Pan support Pan support

Electric plate Pan support

Each crown (exterior and interior) burn at maximum power.

Each control knob on the oven and on the control panel is clearly marked to show which burner it controls Fig. 1. To light one of the burners, press in the control knob of the respective burner and turn it to the left, as far as the maximum symbol, and hold it there for a couple of seconds until the burner lights. Now release the knob and turn it to the desired heating setting. If the burner does not light, repeat the process. If your cooking hob is not fitted with this automatic lighting feature, use a lighter or a match to light the burner. If the ignition sparkers are dirty, this makes the burner harder to light, so you should keep them as clean as possible. Clean them using a small brush, and remember that the ignition sparkers must be treated very gently. If the burners on your cooking hob are fitted with safety valves (which stop the flow of gas if one of the burners accidentally goes out), light the burners in the same way, though you should continue to hold in the control knob for a few seconds after the flame lights. If the burner does not light, repeat the process, this time keeping the control knob pressed in for 10 seconds. To turn off the burner, turn the control knob to the right, to setting 0. When you do this, the ignition system will be activated once more: do not worry, this is completely normal.

The exterior crown burns at minimum power; the interior crown burns at maximum power.

With the modern and functional cooking hob you have purchased, you can have progressive taps fitted which allow you to adjust the flame to the desired heat. Depending on the model, your cooking hob may have a double-flame burner, which is very practical if you wish to cook with receptacles such as paella pans or Chinese woks (to create all kinds of Asian dishes). If your hob is equipped with a double flame burner type B, C or D, it will have taps that will allow you to control the interior and exterior flame individually. Operating description Fig. 2

The interior crown burns at maximum power.

The interior crown burns at minimum power.

When you are using this gas appliance, it will make the kitchen hot and humid, and therefore you must ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated. Either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install an extractor hood. If you use your appliance for a long period of time, you may need extra ventilation - either open a window (though watch out for draughts) or turn up the power on the extractor hood, if possible.

Recommended diameter of receptacles (in cm) Depending on the model:

BURNER MINIMUM Ø OF RECEPTACLE MAXIMUM Ø OF RECEPTACLE Double flamme A: 3,80 kW

Additional pan supports: Fig. 2.

Depending on which model you have purchased, your cooking hob may include a very useful extra cradle support for use on the double-flame burner for receptacles with diameters of over 26 cm, barbecue griddles, earthenware cooking pots and all kinds of concave receptacles (Chinese woks, etc.) Fig. 2. Pan support for coffee pot: Depending on the model, your cooking hob may include an additional coffee pot support, which is exclusively for use on the auxiliary burner with receptacles of a diameter smaller than 10 cm. The manufacturer declines all responsibility if these additional pan supports are not used or are used incorrectly.

Here are some cooking guidelines:

Boiling, grilling, browning, paellas and Asian food (woks).

Reheating and keeping things hot: cooked and pre-cooked dishes.

Scallops, steaks, omelettes, frying.

Rice, white sauce and ragout.

Steaming potatoes, fresh Medium fast vegetables, stews and pasta.

Cooking: casseroles, rice pudding and caramels.

Steaming: fish and vegetables.

Reheating, keeping things hot and making tasty casseroles. Defrosting and slow cooking: vegetables, fruits and frozen products.

Melting: butter, chocolate and jelly.

Electric hot plates When you begin cooking, we recommend turning the control up to the maximum setting and then, depending on the quantity and quality of the foods being cooked, turn down the heat to medium setting. As the hotplate takes a while to cool down, you can turn it off a little before the food is cooked, so as to save energy, and carry on cooking using the residual heat in the hot plate. Always use receptacles which have perfectly flat, thick bottoms, and which have a diameter similar to that of the heating element - and never use receptacles smaller than the element. Try not to spill liquids on the hotplate surface, or to place wet receptacles on top of it.

Electric hot plates with 10-setting knob Fig. 3. 1

These hot plates are controlled by an energy control knob with which you can choose the heat that is suitable for the food you are cooking (Fig. 3).

By consulting the following table of cooking methods and considering the amount of food being cooked, turn the control knob to the left, to the correct setting for the dish you want to cook. The "on" control indicator light will come on. To switch off the hotplate, turn the control knob to the setting 0. The heat indicator light will switch off once the electric hot plate surface has cooled down.

Suggestions SETTING Melting: butter, chocolate and jelly Cooking: rice, white sauce, ragout Cooking: potatoes, pasta, vegetables Light frying: stews, barbecued roulées Steaming: fish Heating: keeping pre-cooked dishes hot Griddle: scallops, steaks, omelettes Cooking and browning

You will need to cook on a higher setting in the following cases:

1-2 2-3 4-5 4-5 5 2-3-4-5 6-7-8 9

Cooking with large amounts of liquid. Cooking large dishes. Cooking receptacles without lids on.

Warnings and suggestions for cooking DO NOT DO Do not use small receptacles on large burners. The flame should never come up the sides of the receptacle.

Always use receptacles that are suitable for each burner, so as to avoid wasting gas and discolouring the receptacles.

Never cook without a lid or with the lid half off - you are wasting energy.

Always place the lid on the receptacles.

Do not use receptacles with uneven bottoms, as they make the food take longer to cook and waste energy.

Do not place a receptacle on one side of a burner, as it could tip over. Do not use large-diameter receptacles on the burners nearest to the control knobs, as the flames might reach them, making them so hot that they could cause injury. Never place receptacles directly on top of the burners.

Only use pots, saucepans and frying pans with thick, flat bottoms.

Always place the receptacle right over the burner, not to one side.

Place the receptacle on top of the pan support. Make sure that the pan supports and burner covers are in their correct positions before using the appliance.

Do not use excessive weight, or strike the cooking hob with heavy objects. Never use two burners or heat sources to heat one single receptacle.

Avoid using griddles and earthenware pots etc. at maximum heat for a long time.

Handle receptacles with care when they are on the cooking hob.

Only use one receptacle per burner. Use the additional cradle support on the double -flame burner.

Warnings and suggestions for using glass: cleaning and care DO NOT DO Never use detergent powder, oven-cleaning sprays or abrasive sponges, as they may scratch the glass.

Never use sharp objects such as metal scourers or knives to remove the hardened remains of food from the surface. Never use a knife, scraper or similar to clean the area where the glass meets the trim of the burners or the metal trim edging.

Never slide receptacles 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 cooking hob.

Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and vegetables will scratch the glass surface.

Clean the surface of the heating element once it has cooled down, and every time you use it. Even small patches of food or dirt will burn when you switch the plate on again. To keep the burners and pan supports clean, you must clean them periodically by placing them in soapy weather and brushing and with a nonmetallic brush to ensure that the holes and grooves are perfectly clean, and can provide a perfect flame. Always dry the burner covers and the pan supports if they have become wet. Always use a special flat scraper for glass, taking special care not to scrape near the trim of the gas burners. For cleaning this surface we recommend the product "Vitro Clen". The fact that this product contains a high percentage of silicon produces a film on the surface, which makes it much easier to remove. We recommend taking regular care of this appliance. After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner covers are correctly placed on the burner's flame diffuser.

Remove any boiled over food immediately usin the glass scraper. This applies in particular to melted foodstuffs, sugas, and foodstuffs with high sugar contents. After washing the pan supports, dry them completely before cooking with them again. Drops of water or damp patches on the surfaces when you begin cooking may cause deterioration of the enamel. When you are cleaning the pan supports, take care with the rubber rests, as they could come off and the pan support could scratch the glass or the profile next time you use it.
