Adapting The Hob To Different Types Of Gas; Regulating The Minimum Flame; Use Of Hob - User Instructions; Using The Gas Burner - Candy PLV6S Manual De Instrucciones

3)Attach fitting C to mains gas supply using rigid copper pipe or
flexible steel pipe.
IMPORTANT: carry out a final check for leaks on the pipe
connections using a soapy solution.
make sure that the flexible pipe cannot come into contact with a
moving part of the cabinet (eg.a drawer) and that it is not situated
where it could be damaged.
Warning: If gas can be smelt in the vicinity of this appliance turn off the gas
supply to the appliance and call the engineer directly. Do not search for a
leak with a naked flame.
2.3. ADAPTING THE HOB TO DIFFERENT
TYPES OF GAS
To adapt the Hob for use with different types of gas, carry out the following
instructions:
•remove the grids and burners
•insert on hexagonal spanner (7 mm) into the burner support (Figure 7)
•Unscrew the injector and replace it with one suitable for the gas to be used
(see gas type table)
•Screw the injector tightly
•Replace the burners and the grids

2.4. REGULATING THE MINIMUM FLAME

After lighting the burners, turn the control knob to the minimum setting and
then remove the knob (this can easily be removed by applying gentle
pressure).
Using a small «Terminal» type screwdriver the regulating screw can be
adjusted as in Figure 9. Turning the screw clockwise reduces the gas flow,
whilst turning it anticlockwise increases the flow – Use this adjustment to
obtain a flame of approximately 3 to 4 mm in length and then replace the
control knob.
When the gas supply available is LPG - the screw to set the idle flame must
be turned (clockwise) to the end stop.
When you have carried out the new gas regulation, replace the old gas
rating plate on your appliance with one (supplied with hob) suitable for the
type of gas for which it has been regulated.

3. USE OF HOB - USER INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must only be used for the purpose for which it is intended,
domestic cooking, and any other use will be considered improper and could
therefore be dangerous. The Manufacturer will not be responsible for any
damage or loss resulting from improper use.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use.
Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements.
Children under 8 Year of age must be kept away from the appliance unless
they are continuously supervised.
WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and
may result in fire.
NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then
cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.

3.1. USING THE GAS BURNER

To ignite the burners, place a lighted taper close to the burner, press in and
turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
If the burners have not been used for a couple of days, wait for a few
seconds before lighting the burner, this will allow any air present in the
pipes to escape.
For appliances fitted with electronic ignition carry out the following:
• push in and turn the knob anticlockwise to the ignition symbol.
• ignite the burner by pressing the sparker button.
For hobs fitted with automatic ignition simply push in and turn the knob to
the ignition symbol.
The ignition system will continue to generate sparks as long as the control
knob is being pressed.
If the burner has not ignited within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the 0
position and repeat the operation.
For models fitted with a safety tap (which cuts-off the flow of gas if the
flame is accidentally extinguished) the burners are ignited and described
above, but care must be taken.
NEVER USE A FLAME. Also,
Prior to switching on the gas hob ensure that the burners and burner caps
are correctly placed within their position.
GENERAL ADVISE
For best results, use cooking vessels with a flat surface. The size of the
surface should match the gas burner side as follows. Table A.
NEVER USE RECIPIENTS that comes out from the edges of the hob.

Semi Rapid
R Rapid
UR UltraRapid
QC 4 crown
For smaller containers the gas burner should be regulated so that the
flame does not overlap the base of the pan. Vessels with a concave or
convex base should not be used.
WARNING: If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn the knob to
the off position and do not attempt to re-ignite if for at least 1 minute.
If over the years the gas taps become stiff to turn it is necessary to lubricate
them.
Such operation must be carried out only by qualified Service
Engineers.

3.2. USE OF COOKTOP ELECTRICAL PLATES

Leave the hot plate to heat up for 5 minutes before placing a pan on it the
first time you use it. This will allow the heat resistant coating of the plate to
harden due to burning.
• Turn the knob to the position for the required temperature of the hot plate.
The indicator light of the hot plate will come on and the hot plate will start to
heat.
When cooking is completed, turn the knob to the " O" position. (Figure 10).
Do not leave the hot plate turned on without a pan on it.
The diameter and the base of the pan you use is important. The maximum
diameter of the pan base is 14 cm and the base should be flat.
CLEANING
Use a wet cloth and detergent for cleaning the hot plates. Do not remove
food residues from the hot plates with a knife or any other hard, sharp
object.
Turn on the hot plate for a few moments to dry it after cleaning.

Suitability of Cooking Pans (Figure 11)
Keep in mind that larger pans have larger heating surfaces.
This will help them to cook the food faster than pans with smaller heating
surfaces.
Always use pan sizes proportionate to the amount of the food to be
cooked. In order to prevent splashing, do not use very small pans,
especially for foods with excess liquid. If you use excessively large pans
for quick cooked foods, sausages and liquids will stick and residues will
remain attached to the pan after being emptied.
Closed pans and baking trays or moulds are suggested for cooking
sweets. Splashed sugar and juices from an open pan may stick to the
cooker surface and will be difficult to remove.
This is especially important for pans used for roasting or pressurized
cooking at high temperature.
Do not leave burners unattended without a pan or with an empty pan on
top.
Check the suitability of cooking pans with respect to the following criteria;
They should be heavy.
They should completely cover the burner surface; they may be a little
bigger but no smaller.
Base surfaces should be completely flat and fit well on the cooking
surface.
•For the best use of the electric hotplates and to minimize energy
consumption, only pans with smooth flat bases should be used. The size of
the pan should be as close as possible to the diameter of the hotplate, and
never smaller. The base of the pan should be dry and spillage should be
avoided. Empty pans must not be left on the plates, and the plates should
not be left switched on without a pan.
