Hotplate Burners - Rangemaster 110 Gas User Manual

Hotplate burners

Some models have a glass lid over the hotplate.
1
If it is not open, lift it up at the front.
There is a safety device which cuts off the gas to the
hotplate burners if the lid is accidentally closed with
a burner on. The gas supply is restored when the lid
is raised.
The toughened glass lid is not intended as a
work surface and should not be used for this
purpose.
Before closing the lid remove all pans from the
hotplate and ensure that all hotplate control knobs
are in the off position.
The drawing by each
2
knob indicates which
burner that knob controls.
Press the igniter button,
and push in and turn a knob
to the large fl ame symbol
( ). Alternatively light with a
match.
If a burner fl ame goes out, turn the control knob off
and leave it for one minute before relighting it.
Adjust the fl ame height to
3
suit by turning the knob.
On this cooker the low
position is beyond high, not
between high and off. The
small fl ame marks the 'low
position'.
Turn the knob towards it after the contents of a pan
have boiled.
Make sure fl ames are under the pans. Using a
4
lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down turned
base rims should not be used.
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh
5
mats, are NOT recommended. They will reduce
burner performance and could damage the pan
supports.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that
6
may tilt easily and pans with a very small base
diameter e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The
minimum pan diameter recommended is 120mm.
Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should
not be used.
Note.
If you leave the gas taps in the 'On' position
when the lid has been closed, unburnt gas will
escape when the lid is raised.
When the spark button (IGN) is pressed, sparks
will be made at every burner, this is normal.
You can remove the burner parts for
cleaning, see the 'Cleaning your cooker'
section of these instructions.
You should wipe the enamel top surface of the
cooker around the hotplate burners as soon as
possible after spills occur. Try to wipe them off
while the enamel is still warm.
