Hotplate Burners - Falcon 1092 CT Dual Fuel Mode D'emploi

Hotplate Burners

The hotplate has four outer open burners and a
central burner covered by the French Cooktop.
The drawing below each knob indicates which
burner that knob controls. There is a spark ignition
system that works when the knob is pressed in.
Each burner also has a special safety device that
stops the flow of gas if the flame goes out.
The burner lighting method is the same for the
open burners and the French Cooktop burner.
Push in and turn a knob to the large flame symbol
( ).
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner
goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn
the control to the off position and wait one minute,
then try again, this time holding in the control
knob for slightly longer.
Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob.
The low position is beyond
high, not between high and
off. The small flame marks the
'low position' . Turn the knob
towards it after the contents
of a pan have boiled.
When hotplate control knob is pressed in, sparks
will be made at every burner. This is normal.
Keep holding the knob
pressed in to let the gas
through to the burner
for a few seconds. The
igniter should spark and
light the gas.
If, after lighting, a hotplate burner's flame goes
out, turn it off and leave it for one minute before
relighting it.
The open burners
Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a 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 mats,
are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the pan supports.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may
tilt easily, and pans with a very small base diameter
e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers.
Minimum pan sizes
The minimum pan diameter recommended is
120mm (about 4 /
