Using your cooktop Lighting the cooktop Off 1 Choose the control knob for the burner you want to use. 2 Press the knob down gently and turn it anticlockwise to the High position. The electrodes on all the burners will High spark. Flame failure models only: Hold down the knob for approximately five seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the knob too soon will extinguish the flame. Low Fig.4 Non-jet cooktop controls 3 Adjust the flame anywhere between the High and Low (knobs may vary from those illustrated) positions. Do not adjust the flame between High and Off O. Note: If the burner does not light within 15 seconds, turn the control knob off and wait at least one minute before High trying again. Off If the cooktop does not light Low Fig.5 Jet cooktop controls If the cooktop does not light, check that: (knobs may vary from those illustrated) The cooktop is plugged in and the electricity is switched on. The gas is turned on. The electrodes are sparking. If the electrodes are not sparking, they may be dirty or wet. Clean them with a toothbrush and methylated spirits, as shown in Fig. 6. Electrode Flame failure probe (some models only) Fig.6 How to clean an electrode Using your cooktop If the flame is irregular If the flame is yellow or irregular, check that the burner parts, including the burner cap, are: Clean and dry. Positioned correctly as shown in Fig. 8. See also ‘Troubleshooting’. Electrode Burner ring Burner cap Fig.7 Burner parts Fig.8 Correct assembly Fig.9 Incorrect assembly of burner parts of burner parts, showing irregular flames Electricity failure If there is an electricity failure, you can still use your cooktop. Light the burners by holding a match close to the side of the burner and turning the control knob to the High position. Wait until the flame is burning evenly before adjusting. Flame failure safety feature (some models only) Some cooktop models have a flame failure probe (see Fig. 6). This safety feature cuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is blown out. When lighting the burner on flame failure models, hold down the knob for approximately five seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the knob too soon will extinguish the flame. If the flames are accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner and do not try to light it again for at least one minute (to allow the gas to disperse). Using your cooktop General guidelines To get the best out of your cooktop, follow these simple suggestions: Use saucepans with thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take longer to cook. Fig.10 Efficient and inefficient saucepan bottoms Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface. Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the trivet/pan support or deflect the flame. When you need to boil, simmer or fry food, first set the temperature to the High position. Once the food is boiling, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady heat to cook your food thoroughly. Doing this will reduce the cooking time. For auxillary and semi-rapid burners, pans should be 12 cm (5 in.) or larger in diameter. For rapid burners, pans should be 18-26 cm (7-10 in.) in diameter. The fish burner is designed to be used with a ‘fish kettle’ or griddle approximately 40 cm (16 in.) long. A fish kettle used on the fish burner is also useful for steaming long vegetables like corn cobs, Chinese broccoli, long beans, and asparagus. Using a wok Use your wok only on the wok burner. The trivet/pan support is shaped to take a traditional wok with a round base. You can also use a wok stand. Make sure the stand fits securely on the four fingers of the trivet/ pan support, and is stable. Do not use a wok larger than 45 cm (18 in.) The wok burner is designed to be used with a wok but may be used with pans 18-26 cm (7-10 in.) in diameter, with care. Using your cooktop 7 Using a SimmerMat (if supplied) A SimmerMat helps control the temperature of the cooking surface for gentle cooking or the long slow simmering that is needed for some foods. Use at low heat only. To simmer First bring the food to the boil over high heat. Then turn the burner off and carefully place the SimmerMat over the burner on the trivet/pan support, with the points facing upward. Re-light the burner, turn to Low and place your saucepan on top of the SimmerMat. Using a griddle (if supplied) Cooking with a griddle A griddle is ideal for cooking a variety of foods. The surfaces of a cast-iron griddle will become more and more non-stick as cooking oils become baked in. This ‘seasoning’ process can be started by coating both surfaces of the griddle with cooking oil and baking in the oven at 150 OC (300 OF) for about an hour. Heat the griddle for a few minutes before using. Brush the food, not the griddle, with oil, to reduce splatter and smoking. Cook steak and vegetables at high temperatures on the ribbed side of the griddle....
