This manual provides essential safety, installation, and usage instructions for the Hotpoint 1AUX gas hob. Before using the appliance, read all safety warnings carefully. The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician in compliance with local regulations. Ensure the kitchen is well-ventilated during use.
Product description
The hob features various burners of different diameters for optimal cooking performance. The control panel includes knobs for each burner, with symbols indicating the status (closed, maximum, minimum).
Daily use
To ignite a burner, turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise to the maximum flame setting and press it against the control panel. Once ignited, keep the knob pressed for 5-10 seconds to activate the safety device. If the flame goes out accidentally, the safety device will shut off the gas supply. If the burner does not remain lit after 15 seconds, wait at least one minute before trying again.
Installation
The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician. Ensure the gas and electrical connections comply with local regulations. The hob can be embedded in a worktop 20-60 mm thick. If no oven is installed beneath the hob, a separator panel must be installed. Ensure proper ventilation and air circulation in the room. Use only flexible or rigid metal hoses for gas connection and check for leaks with soapy water after installation.
Maintenance and cleaning
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any maintenance. Clean enamelled and glass parts with warm water and a neutral detergent. Stainless steel surfaces should be cleaned with specific products. Grids, burner caps, and burners can be removed for cleaning. Cast-iron grates may be cleaned in the dishwasher. Do not use abrasive products, steam cleaners, or chlorine-based cleaners.
Troubleshooting
If the hob does not operate correctly, check the following before calling service: ensure gas/electrical supplies are open, check if the gas cylinder is empty, ensure burner openings are not clogged, and verify that all burner parts are positioned correctly. If the burner does not stay lit, ensure the knob is pressed long enough to activate the safety device.
Technical specifications
The appliance is designed for use with various gas types (Natural Gas G20, LPG G30/G31). Refer to the burner and nozzle specifications table for detailed injector markings, thermal flow rates, and gas pressure requirements.
