Gas burners

Fig. 1
There are indications to show which burner each control
knob operates. Fig. 1.
To light a burner, press the control of the selected
burner and turn it to the left as far as possible, holding
it on maximum for a few seconds until it lights, and then
release it and adjust it to the right position. If it fails to
light, repeat the operation.
If the cooking hob does not have any kind of automatic
lighting, bring a flame (lighter, matches, etc.) up to
the burner.
If the plugs are dirty, the lighting will be faulty, so the
utmost cleaning must be maintained at all times. Do this
with a small brush, bearing in mind that the plug must
not be receive violent knocks.
If your hob has burners with safety valves that prevent
the gas from coming out if the burners are accidentally
put out, light it in the same way, but keeping the control
pressed until the lighting occurs, and then pressing for
a few seconds with the flame already alight. If it fails to
light, repeat the operation, this time holding for
10 seconds. The appliance switches off automatically
after 6 hours of operation. Turn all the control knobs
to the position and then you can turn the appliance
on again.
To turn it off, turn the control to the right to
the position .
With the modern and functional cooking hob you have
purchased, you can have progressive taps fitted which
allow you to adjust the flame to the desired heat.
Depending on the model, your cooking hob may have a
triple-flame burner, which is very practical if you wish
to cook with receptacles such as paella pans or Chinese
woks (to create all kinds of Asian dishes).
When you are using this gas appliance, it will make the
kitchen hot and humid, and therefore you must ensure
that the kitchen is well ventilated. Either keep the natural
ventilation apertures open, or install an extractor hood.
If you use your appliance for a long period of time, you
may need extra ventilation - either open a window (though
watch out for draughts) or turn up the power on the
extractor hood, if possible.
An orange-coloured flame is normal and it is
produced in the presence of dust in the atmosphere,
spillages, etc.
