Burner operation
The burners on this appliance have fixed aeration and no adjustment is required. The
burners should flame as follows:-
Propane -
The flames should burn quietly with a blue/green colour with
no sign of yellow tips.
IMPORTANT
•
Although each burner will support pans from 4ins (100mm) to
½
8
ins (220mm), care should be taken not to overload the appliance
as reduced performance may result.
•
For safe operation burner flames should be adjusted so they do NOT
extend beyond the edge of the pan as this will reduce the efficiency
of the burner.
•
Avoid old or misshapen pans as these may cause instability.
•
The lid must be opened fully when using the hotplate burners.
Using the Hob Burners
1
. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn
off at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.
2
. Flame supervision: Each burner is controlled individually and is monitored by a
thermocouple probe. In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished,
turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one
minute.
3
. To light: Push in the control knob and turn to 'LITE' position – see Fig.6. Hold a lighted
match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. It is necessary to
hold the knob depressed after the burner has ignited for approximately 10 - 15
seconds, to allow the thermocouple probe to reach temperature, before releasing the
knob. Should the flame go out when the knob is released, the procedure should be
repeated holding the knob depressed for slightly longer.
4
. For models fitted with Spark Ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can
be ignited by depressing the ignition button, which is located on the fascia. If the burner
has not lit within 15 seconds the control knob should be released and the burner left for
at least 1 minute before a further attempt to ignite the burner.
5
. For simmering, turn the knob further anti-clockwise to the low rate position –see Fig. 7
6
. To turn off: Turn the control knob until the line on the control knob is aligned with 'OFF'
on the control panel. Always make sure the control knob is in the 'OFF' position when
you have finished using the hotplate burners – see Fig. 5.
