[. . . ] cling film, polystyrene and plastic wrappings must be kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Dispose of or recycle all packaging materials safely as soon as possible. Disposal of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of your old appliance with your household waste. Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal. It should be unplugged or disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person. If connected by a plug, the plug must be rendered useless and the cable cut off directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. 12 Before using for the first time General notes Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the "After sales service" section of this booklet. Cleaning and heating up for the first time Before using for the first time clean the hob and all removable parts as follows: ^ The removable parts of the gas burner assembly can be washed in a mild solution of hot water and washing up liquid. Wipe dry and reassemble in the correct order (see "Cleaning and care"). Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up for the first time. The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect. 13 Using the gas hob Switching on, Switching off, Controls The controls are used to switch on the burners and regulate the strength of the flame. ^ With the control no longer pressed in you can continue turning it towards the small flame symbol. Control the flame so that it does not spread out beyond the sides of the pan. As the outer part of the flame is much hotter than the centre, the tips of the flames should stay beneath the pan base. Flame tips which extend beyond the sides of the pan merely warm up the air in the room and can also damage pan handles and increase the danger of burning. ß the gas supply is turned off & strong flame / weak flame Switching off: Switching on: ^ The control for the burner required must be pressed in and turned anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol to switch on. ^ When the flame ignites, keep the control pressed in for 8-10 seconds, and then let it go. If the flame goes out, repeat the procedure, keeping the control pressed in for a few extra seconds. Remember: Turn anti-clockwise to switch on, turn clockwise to switch off. The controls cannot be turned anti-clockwise from the small flame symbol to the "ß" position. 14 Using the gas hob Pans Burners small large Min. diameter at top of pan in cm small large 22 24 ­ Any heat-resistant pans can be used on a gas burner. ­ Remember when purchasing new pans that manufacturers usually refer to the diameter at the top of the pan in their documentation. ­ Refer to the chart above and ensure that the pan diameter falls within the minimum and maximum diameters given for the burner you are using. If the pan diameter is too large, flames can spread out to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or surrounding units and also parts of the hob. ­ Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss. ­ Select pans which are suitable for the burner they are to be used on.
