TO USE THE HOTPLATE

z

To light a hotplate burner: push in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the large
flame symbol , and hold in for 3 seconds until the burner lights, then turn the knob to
the required setting.

z

If the burner flame should accidentally go out, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-light the burner for at least one minute.

The control may be set towards a lower position, simply by turning the control knob
towards the small flame symbol.

IMPORTANT: The cast iron pan supports on the appliance are much heavier than those on
most gas hotplate cookers, therefore care must be taken when removing or re-fitting
them to the hob. It is important that they are lifted from the appliance and not dragged
across nearby enamelled parts which would result in damaging the enamel.
