Operation

Hob burners

To light a burner:

l

push in the relevant control and turn it to maximum

position;

l

then adjust the flame as required.

l

If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to

zero, and try again.

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.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as

the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the

flame so that it will barely keep the liquid

simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please

contact your local Zanussi Service Centre.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried

out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the

electricity supply.

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as

spillage can be removed more easily than if it is

left to cool.

The Hob Top

Regularly wipe over the hob top and the aluminium frame

using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which

a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use

of the following:

- household detergent and bleaches;

- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;

- steel wool pads;

- bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is

recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite

or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

The Burners

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.

The cap and crown of each burner are secured with two

screws. To separate the two pieces, lift the crown, turn it

upside down, then undo the two fixing screws as shown

in fig. 1.

After cleaning, reassemble the two parts and refit the

cap on its correct position on the burner.

Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water,

and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well

moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used

with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to

remove.

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

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).
