SAFETY/OPERATING
SAFETY
Before using the appliance
■ The fitting of the appliance should only be
carried out by a registered Corgi gas fitter.
■ Only use the appliance if it has been built in
correctly. Damage to an incorrectly
installed appliance is excluded from the
guarantee.
■ During repair and cleaning the appliance
needs to be disconnected from the power
supply (electricity and gas). Remove the
plug from the wall socket or turn the switch
in the metre cupboard to zero (for gas hobs
with a spark switch). Turn off the gas tap in
the feeder pipe.
■ This cooking appliance is designed for
household use. It should only be used for
preparing meals.
■ When boiling and frying the hob gets hot.
Please pay close attention to small
children.
■ Grease and oil are flammable when over-
heated. Stay near the appliance when
preparing dishes.
■ Do not use the appliance to heat the
kitchen. This will produce a damp
atmosphere.
■ When a gas cooking appliance is being
used heat and moisture is produced in the
area where the appliance is situated. Make
sure that the area is sufficiently ventilated;
open natural ventilation openings or fit a
mechanical ventilator (extractor). When the
hob is used for longer periods extra
ventilation may be needed, such as an open
window or a higher setting on the ventilator
(extractor).
■ The burners should not be used without
pans. Never place aluminium or plastic
trays directly onto a burner.
■ Be careful with the cables of electrical
equipment, such as a mixer. These should
not be allowed to touch hot burners.
■ The underside of the built-in hob (GKB)
becomes hot. Take care that you do not
place any flammable or plastic objects in
any drawer under the appliance.
Things to watch for
Clean immediately
■ Any spillage should be removed immedia-
tely, particularly red cabbage, apple sauce
and rhubarb. These can leave permanent
spots on the enamel or on stainless steel.
Burning in of the enamel
■ The burners cause the saucepan supports
to get extremely hot. Over time the enamel
on the support points can burn in. This
cannot be prevented and is not covered by
the guarantee.
Burner caps
■ Check regularly to ensure that the caps of
the burners are properly in position on the
burner depressions; improper positioning
can make it difficult to light the burners,
give rise to an irregular gas flame, or
damage the burner caps.
Lighting the burners
While keeping the knob of the burner held in,
turn the knob to the left and light the burner
with a match. The gas flame can now be
smoothly adjusted from high to low.
Using the electrical spark switch
(if applicable)
While keeping the knob of the burner in, turn
the knob to the left while simultaneously
pressing the spark switch. The spark switch
will generate sparks and the burner will light
automatically. If the burner fails to light after
repeated attempts, check to ensure that the
burner cap is properly positioned.
