Using Your Cooker

Controlling the burners
Each control knob is marked to indicate which burner it
controls. Each control knob also has markings to indicate the
three main settings:
OFF
High
Low
Lighting the burners
Your Arisit hobs are equipped with a safety probe that pre-
vents the gas from fl owing unless there is a fl ame.
To ignite a burner, press and turn the control knob counter-
clockwise until the knob points to High. Keep pressing the
knob inwards until the probe heats up. Release the knob.
safety probe
Check that the gas has been lit. If the burner fails to ignite try
again. If the burner fails to ignite after 3 attempts, wait a few
minutes for the gas to disperse before making any further
attempts.
If the burner still fails to ignite, a match or lighting device can
be used, but care must be taken. If the problem persists, con-
tact place of purchase or their appointed agent for service.
Controlling the fl ame height
Any fl ame height can be achieved between High and Low by
rotating the control knob between the two positions:
Avoid operating the burner with the control knob set between
Off and High.
If a fl ame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control
knob and wait for at least 1 minute before relighting.

Double ring burners have two independent gas rings control-
led by the one control knob. Turning the knob anticlockwise
from the Off position controls the smaller inner ring only.
To switch on the outer ring, keep turning the knob anticlock-
wise past the 6 O'Clock position. The outer ring will ignite
as well, and both rings will be on High

Lighting the burners for the fi rst time
If the appliance is being used for the fi rst time, or if it has not
been used for a long period of time, it may be necessary to
purge the gas lines of excess air before you can successfully
light the burners.
To do this, turn each burner to high for 10-15 seconds and
press the ignition button several times. If the burner does not
light, repeat this procedure twice more. Wait 1-2 minutes for
any gas build up to disperse before allowing any further gas
fl ow.
Cookware
Use appropriate cookware for each burner
Always use a vessel for cooking that is appropriate in size
for the size of burner. Ensure the fl ames do not extend
beyond the bottom of the pot.
Never use pots that are too small or too large. For wok
cooking it is recommended that a domestic size wok, no
larger than 400 mm in diameter be used.
Always use cookware with a fl at base. Do not use pans
which are unstable or which have a warped or damaged
base.
Ensure the pot sits securely on the trivet and is centred
above the burner.
Small pots can be used on the inner ring of the double
crown double ring burner.
