Operation
Hob Burners
"
To light a burner:
push the electric ignition pushbutton which is marked
!
by a little spark (
);
at the same time turn the relevant control knob
!
anticlockwise to maximum position (
upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
!
seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (see
diagram, lett. D) to be heated and the safety device to
be switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted.
then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
!
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts,check the "cap" and "crown" (see diagram, lett.
A, B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol !.
When switching on the mains, after installation or
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
•
In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without
the electrical device; in this case approach the burner
with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it
anti-clockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.
•
Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.
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).
Burner
Large (rapid)
Medium (semi-rapid)
Small (auxiliary)
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 Electrolux Service
Centre.
