OPERATING/USE
Lighting the burners
Using a match
While keeping the knob of the burner you wish
to light 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
Models B and D have an integrated spark
switch under the control knob.Press the knob
of burner you wish to light in and turn it to the
left to the -symbol. 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. The gas
flame can now be smoothly adjusted from high
to low.
Models A and C have a separate spark ignition
button. Press and turn the control knob for the
relevant burner to the full-on position to the
left. Light the burner by pressing the ignition
button.
Saucepans
Use
The recommended saucepan diameters for
the various burners are:
For the high-speed burner, minimum 24 cm.
For the standard burner, minimum 20 cm.
For the low-speed burner, minimum 14 cm.
Wrong:
A great deal of heat is
lost along the sides of
the saucepan.
Right:
The heat is evenly
distributed over the
base of the saucepan.
Tip:
Cooking without a lid or with the saucepan
partially covered causes a great deal of
energy to be wasted unnecessarily.
Clean saucepans absorb heat more efficiently.

SAFETY
Before using the appliance
■ The fitting of the appliance should only be
carried out by a registered Corgi gas fitter.
■ 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).
Things to watch for
Clean immediately
■ Any spillage should be removed
immediately, 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.
