Warnings

It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours. This does not pose any risk and does not
indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids,
etc.

Use pans which are the
right size for each
burner.
Do not use small pans
on large burners. The
flame must not touch the
sides of the pan.
Do not use damaged
pans, which do not sit
evenly on the hob. Pans
may tip over.
Only use pans with a
thick, flat base.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch
off the burner operating control knob and do not try to
relight it for at least 1 minute.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a
sound (thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this
means that the safety device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean
them periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear
in mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any
serious impacts.

Do not cook without
using a lid and make
sure the lid is properly
fitted. This wastes
energy.
Always centre the pan
over the burner, not to
one side. Otherwise it
could tip over.
Do not place large pans
on the burners near the
control knobs. These
may be damaged by the
very high temperatures.
Place the pans on the
pan supports, never
directly on the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner
caps are correctly
positioned before using
the appliance.
Pans should be placed
on the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob
and do not place
excessive weight on it.
