SAFETY
Before using the appliance
■ The fitting of the appliance should only be
carried out by a registered Corgi gas fitter.
■ Only use the appliance if it has been built in
correctly. Damage to an incorrectly
installed appliance is excluded from the
guarantee.
■ During repair and cleaning the appliance
needs to be disconnected from the power
supply (electricity and gas). Remove the
plug from the wall socket or turn the switch
in the metre cupboard to zero (for gas hobs
with a spark switch). Turn off the gas tap in
the feeder pipe.
■ This cooking appliance is designed for
household use. It should only be used for
preparing meals.
■ When boiling and frying the hob gets hot.
Please pay close attention to small
children.
■ Grease and oil are flammable when over-
heated. Stay near the appliance when
preparing dishes.
■ Do not use the appliance to heat the
kitchen. This will produce a damp
atmosphere.
■ When a gas cooking appliance is being
used heat and moisture is produced in the
area where the appliance is situated. Make
sure that the area is sufficiently ventilated;
open natural ventilation openings. When
the hob is used for longer periods extra
ventilation may be needed, such as an open
window.
■ The burners should not be used without
pans. Never place aluminium or plastic
trays directly onto a burner.
■ Be careful with the cables of electrical
equipment, such as a mixer. These should
not be allowed to touch hot burners.
■ The underside of the built-in hob becomes
hot. Take care that you do not place any
flammable or plastic objects in any drawer
under the appliance.
■ Before installing the appliance, check that
the gas sort and gas pressure of the gas
source are in accordance with what is
specified on the model data plate.
Things to watch for
Clean immediately
■ Any spillage should be removed immedia-
tely, particularly red cabbage, apple sauce
and rhubarb. These can leave permanent
spots on the enamel or on stainless steel.
Burning in of the enamel
■ The burners cause the saucepan supports
to get extremely hot. Over time the enamel
on the support points can burn in. This
cannot be prevented and is not covered by
the guarantee.
Burner caps
■ Check regularly whether the caps of the
burners are properly in position on the
burner depressions; improper positioning
can make it difficult to light the burners,
give rise to an irregular gas flame, or
damage the burner caps.
Lighting the burners
GKB 310
While keeping the knob of the burner held in,
turn the knob to the left and light the burner
with a match. The gas flame can be smoothly
adjusted from high to low.
GKB 315 / 315 W / 318 / 377 / 377W
Press the knob of burner in and turn it to the left
to the -symbol. The spark switch will
generate sparks and the burner will light
automatically. If the burner fails to light after
repeated attempts, check to ensure that the
burner cap is properly positioned. The gas flame
can be smoothly adjusted from high to low.
