[. . . ] Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner on. 8 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 Power levels Setting Control knob off Maximum capacity or aperture and electricity on Minimum capacity or aperture Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 setting. The progressive control knobs can be used to control the power needed, from minimum to maximum power. High flame Low flame 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. 9 Inner flame on minimum power. 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. Bear in mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts. 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. 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. Suitable pans Burner Double or triple flame burner Rapid burner Semi-rapid burner Auxiliary burner Electric hob Minimum pan diameter 22 cm 22 cm 14 cm 12 cm 18 cm 26 cm 20 cm 16 cm Maximum pan diameter 10 Wok pan 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 pan. Depending on the model, the hob may include the following accessories. These are also available from the Technical Assistance Service. Accessories Additional wok pan support Wok pan Additional coffee maker support 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 will save energy, as you can continue cooking using the residual heat. Make sure that the size of the pan used is similar to that of the heating element, never smaller. [. . . ] Change the gas cylinder. The flow of gas does not appear normal or no gas comes out. The kitchen smells of gas. The safety valves on one of the burners are not working. Turn off the gas taps. Once the burner is lit, hold the control knob down a few seconds longer. Clean the grooves on the diffuser. 17 Technical Assistance Service When contacting our Technical Assistance Service, please provide the product number (E-No. ) and production number (FD) of the appliance.
