Operation 8; Ignition Burners; Using The Hob Correctly - Electrolux EHG735SP User Manual

Ignition burners

1. Check to make sure that the gas supply is accessible and set
up with the necessary and appropriate fittings/connectors.
2. Turn all control knobs to off position.
3. This device is fitted with a safety tap to control the gas flow.
When the dot on the knob lines up with the following symbols
on the panel, these conditions prevail:
To dose, rotate the knob to the right until you feel the tap's distinct
click.
4. To ignite, hold the knob and press down for several seconds,
rotate it to maximum gas flow position. For models with
thermocouple, keep the knob pressed down about 5~8
seconds, otherwise the flame will extinguish.
5. If the burner does not light the first time, repeat Step 4.
6. If the flame extinguishes suddenly, repeat Step 4.
7. When using the unit again immediately after having once
turned it off, wait for about ten seconds before re-igniting.
8. Each burner has its own independent ignitor.
9. When the burner is lit, turn the knob to adjust the flame size
according to your needs. You do not have to press down the
knob to adjust the flame.
For burner fitted with a flame supervision device, if after 15
seconds of ignition the burner has not lit, stop operating the
device and wait at least 1 minute before attempting a further
ignition of the burner.

Using the hob correctly

• To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a bottom fitting
the size of the burner used, so that the flame will not spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel (Table 1).
• It is also advisable, as soon as the liquid starts boiling, to turn
down the flame so that it will keep the liquid simmering
Burner Minimum
Diameter
Wok burner 120mm
Semi-rapid 120mm
Choice of burner
• A semi-rapid burner is for special low heat, simmering and
slow cooking.
• A wok burner is for very fast heating using a wok or large pan.
NOTE:
Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster cooking
than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you have to cook.
Make sure that the pans are not too small for liquids, since these
could easily overflow.
The pans should not be too large for a faster cooking.
You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the burner,
thus reducing gas consumption as in Fig 12.
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and as soon as
the liquid starts to boil, lower the flame enough to keep the
boiling point
