Using The Hob - Zanussi ZCM 64 Operating Instructions Manual

Using the Hob

Hob burners
To light a burner:
Push the electric ignition button which is marked with
a little spark ( ).
At the same time, push in and turn the relevant control
knob anticlockwise to maximum position.
Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about five
seconds until the safety valve ("thermocouple - Fig.
1-D") automatically keeps the flame lit.
Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation
or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down
the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Centre.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

(triple crown)
Medium (semi-rapid)
Small (auxiliary)
When using the auxiliary burner (with pans
having a diameter equal or higher than 50mm),
place the special grid on the pan support, as
shown in the diagram (Fig. 2 - a).
Using the Wok Stand
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round
bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be
used on the triple crown burner, and should not be used
with any other type of wok or pan.
When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the
frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as
shown in the diagram (Fig. 2 - b).
Triple-crown burner
Always ignite the burner before putting the
pans on.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite,
check that the burner cap and crown are correctly
positioned (Fig. 3).
