Be Safe; Hotplate Burners - Falcon 211 GEO T DL Benutzerhandbuch Und Installations- Und Wartungsanleitung

Be safe

You need clean fresh air - so does your cooker.
Burner flames produce exhaust gases, heat and
moisture. Make sure that the kitchen is well
ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or
install a powered cooker hood that vents
outside. If you have several burners on or use
the cooker for a long time, open a window or
turn on an extractor fan. For more detail see the
Installation Instructions.
We recommend you read the 'General Safety
Instructions' section especially if you have not
used a gas cooker before. We describe some
basic guidelines on how to use a gas cooker
safely.
Gas and Electricity on
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and
that the cooker is wired in and switched on.
The cooker needs electricity.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a
slight odour. This should stop after a little use.

Hotplate Burners

The drawing below each knob indicates which
burner that knob controls. There is a spark
ignition system that works when the knob is
pressed in. Each burner also has a special
safety device that stops the flow of gas if the
flame goes out.
Push in and turn a knob to the large flame symbol
( ).
Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas
through to the burner for few seconds. The igniter
should spark and light the gas.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner
goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the
control to the off position and wait one minute, then
try again this time holding in the control knob for
slightly longer.
Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob.
The small flame marks the 'low position'. Turn the
knob towards it after the contents of a pan have
boiled.
Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid
will help the contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down
turned base rims should not be used.
Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats,
are NOT recommended. They will reduce burner
performance and could damage the pan supports.
Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans that may
tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter
e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum
pan diameter recommended is 120mm.
When hotplate control knob is pressed in,
sparks will be made at every burner, this is
normal.
If after lighting, a hotplate burner's flame goes
out, turn it off and leave it for one minute before
relighting it.
You can remove the burner head for
cleaning, see page 'Cleaning your cooker'.
You should wipe the top surface of the cooker
around the hotplate burners as soon as possible
after spills occur. Try to wipe them off while the
hotplate is still warm.
Note:
Use of aluminium pans may cause metallic
marking of the pan supports. This does not
affect the durability of the enamel and may be
cleaned off with a proprietary metal polish.
