Use Of The Cooking Hob - Smeg T95PGGSFS Manual

6 USE OF THE COOKING HOB

6.1 Lighting of the cooking hob burners
Before lighting the hob burners check that the flame caps are in the correct position and that their
burner caps are in place, making sure that the holes A in the flame caps correspond to the spark
plugs and thermocouples.
Before lighting the burners lift the glass cover; before lowering the cover, turn off all the burners and
wait for them to cool down.
The optional rack B is for use with "woks" (Chinese pans).
To prevent deterioration of the hob we have equipped the cooker with a raised pan stand C to be
placed underneath pans more than 26 cm in diameter.
The supplied reduction C is also used for small pans.
The drawing next to each knob shows the corresponding burner. The appliance has an electronic
lighting device. In the models not fitted with a burner ignition button, simply press and turn the knob
anticlockwise to the minimum flame symbol
ignition button turn the knob as described earlier, while pressing the button at the same time. Hold the
knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouples to heat up. The burner may go out when the
knob is released: this is because the thermocouple has not been sufficiently heated. Repeat the
operation holding down the knob for a little longer. This operation is not necessary for burners without
thermocouples.
For models with thermocouples, if the burner should accidentally go out, a safety device will be
activated which stops the gas flow even if the tap is open.
6.2 Practical advice for using the cooking hob burners
For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered containers that are
proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see paragraph "6.3
Diameter of containers"). When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it does not
overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle plates must be placed within
the perimeter of the cooking hob. All containers have to have a flat and smooth bottom. When using
fats or oils, be extremely careful that they don't overheat and catch fire.
If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to
re-light the burner.
