• Choose the gas burner you need using the symbols at the side of each control knob; (E.g. back right-hand burner

• Your hob is equipped with an automatic lighting system integrated into each control knob.
• To ignite a burner, press down and turn the knob anti-clockwise until it is pointing to the maximum position Keep the knob pressed down. This will trigger off a series of sparks that will light up the burner.
• Adjust the flame to the height your require by turning the control knob between the and symbols.

● Lighting a hob fitted WITH DEVICE (depending on model) A SAFETY

• The safety system for the burners is a metal rod next to the flame.
• Choose the gas burner you need using the symbols at the side of each control knob; (E.g. back right-hand burner

• Each burner is controlled by a tap fitted with a safety system, which cuts the gas off automatically if ever the flame goes out by accident (overflowing, drafts, etc.).
• Your hob is equipped with an automatic lighting system integrated into each control knob.
• To ignite a burner, press down and turn the knob anti-clockwise juntil it is pointing to the maximum position

• Adjust the flame to the height your require by turning the control knob between the and symbols. To set off the safety system, keep the knob pressed completely down for a few seconds after the flame has lit up. Sparker Gas safety device (depending on model) - If ever your flame goes out, relight it as per normal procedure. - The flames on the burner are smaller near the grate supports to avoid any damage being done to the enamel. - The noise made by certain burners is related to their power and burning gas; this does not harm the quality of cooking in any way.

99625732_ML_B.qxd 16/12/02 11:05 Page 41 Using your hob in all simplicity Which pans are best adapted for use on the gas burner ?

• Recommended pan sizes: Extra burner Extra burner Medium burner Small burner double-crown Extra-fast fast semi-fast auxiliary 20 to 30 cm 18 to 28 cm 16 to 26 cm 14 to 22 cm 12 to 16 cm Adjust the flames so that they do not lick up the side of your pan. RIGHT WRONG CONVEX CONCAVE Do not use a pan with a convex or concave bottom. Do not leave the gas on beneath an empty pan. Do not use pans whose bases or handles may partially cover control knobs. Some hobs are equipped with a specific "WOK" type support stand, to be used only on the central "Double Crown" ring. This "WOK" type stand allows you to use receptacles with a concave base. Used with the "Double Crown" ring, it allows better heat distribution around large receptacles such as woks and large diameter paella pans. Wok stand Keep all natural air-vents open or have a mechanical ventilation system installed (a mechanically ventilated hood). - Prolonged, intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation; by opening a window for example or producing more efficient ventilation by increasing the power of the existing mechanical ventilation (a minimum air input of 2m3/hour per kW of gas energy is required.) E.g. : for a 60 cm hob with 4 gas-rings Total power: 0,85 + 1,5 + 2,35 + 3,2 = 7,9 kW. 7,9 kW x 2 = 15,8 m3/h per hour minimum flow-rate.

99625732_ML_B.qxd 16/12/02 11:05 Page 42 Using your hob in all simplicity How to use the electric hotplate?

• To heat it up Turn the knob to the point that corresponds to the cooking you want to do (See cooking table at the end of the instruction booklet). The electric hotplate 'on' light comes on. The first time you use the electric hotplate, leave it on for 3 minutes at maximum temperature without using a pan to harden the surface coating. E.g., position 3 Which pans are best adapted for use on the electric hotplate?

• Which pans are to be used on the electric hotplate? Use pans with flat bottoms that are in complete contact with the electric hotplate surface: - Stainless steel with a thick trimetal or "sandwich" base, - Aluminium with a thick (smooth) base, - Enamelled steel. Always use a pan of suitable size: the diameter of the pan must be larger than the diameter of the electric hotplate. Finish off your cooking with the knob turned to (o). This lets you take advantage of the heat that has accumulated in the electric hotplate.
• Whenever possible use a cover on your pans to avoid losing any heat by evaporation. YES

- Never leave a electric hotplate turned on without a pan or with an empty pan. - The electric hotplate stays hot for a certain time after it has been switched off in the “O” position.

99625732_ML_B.qxd 16/12/02 11:05 Page 44 Minor troubleshooting You have doubts about whether your hob is working correctly .... ...... this does not necessarily mean there is a breakdown. Nevertheless, check the following points

Lighting the burners: WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? There is no sparking when the control knobs or buttons are pressed down. - Check the electrical connections on the hob. - Check that the sparkers are clean. - Check that the burners are clean and in position. - If the hob is fixed to the worktop, make sure that the fixing clamps have not been twisted. - Check that the sealing rings have not come out of place. When you only press down one control knob all the burners spark. This is normal. The lighter system is centralised, and all the burners spark at the same time. Sparking takes place but the burners do not light up. - Check that the gas inlet pipe has not been squashed. - Check that the gas inlet pipe tube is less than 2m long. - Check that the main gas tap is open. - If you use gas tanks or cylinders check that they are not empty. - If you have just installed your hob or changed a gas cylinder, keep the control knob wide open for a few seconds so that the gas can get through. - Make sure the injector is not blocked up. if this is the case, clear it with a safety pin. - Light up your gas-ring before putting a pan on it. If your table is fitted with a gas safety system and the flames go out as soon as you release the control knob. - Push the control knob down completely and keep it under pressure for a few seconds after the burner has lit. - Check that the burner parts are in place. - Check that the sealing rings under the control knobs have not come out of place. - Avoid any severe drafts in the room. - Light the burner before putting your pan on it. In the low position the flames go out or are too high. - Avoid any severe drafts in the room. - Check that the gas you are using corresponds to the injectors that have been installed (See injector identification in the "Gas Rating" chapter). Remember that gas hobs are delivered preset for use with natural gas. Check the adjustment of the low power screw (See paragraph "Changing the type of gas supply"). Flames are irregular. - Check that the burners and injectors are clean and assembled correctly. - Check you have enough gas in your gas cylinders. The knobs get hot during cooking. Use small pans on the burners next to the control knobs. Large pans are to be put on the large burners furthest away from the knobs. Put the pan in place with the burner in the middle. The pan should not be above the control knobs.
