Installation
• An authorised person must install this appliance and
MUST provide a certificate of compliance.
• Before using the appliance, ensure that all packing
materials are removed from the appliance.
• In order to avoid any potential hazard, the installation
instructions in this booklet, and any labels on the
appliance must be followed.
• Ensure that all specified vents, openings and air spaces
are not blocked.
• Where the appliance is built into a benchtop, the
benchtop material must be capable of withstanding 85°C.
• Ensure that the duplicate rating label (in the instruction
pack) is attached to a readily accessible adjacent surface,
so that the cooktop can be easily identified in the case of
a service call.
Servicing
• Servicing MUST only be carried out by authorised
personnel.
• To maintain safe operation, it is recommended that the
product be inspected every five years by an authorised
service person.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an
authorised service person in order to avoid a hazard.
Cleaning
• Always ensure the appliance is turned off
before cleaning.
• This appliance contains aluminium fittings.
Do not use caustic based cleaners.
• Do not use steam cleaners as this may cause moisture
build up on electrical components.
• Always clean the appliance immediately after
any food spillage.
• Do not place burner caps in a dishwasher.
Controls
Each burner is controlled by a control knob. The markings on
the control panel indicate which burner the knob controls, and
the setting for that burner (see Figure 3).
NOTE! Gas controls turn anticlockwise from ‘OFF’ and have
limited movement.
Lighting burners
Electronic ignition: These cooktops are fitted with mains
powered ignition. When the appliance has been connected
and the power is on, depressing any knob will release
sparks to all burners.
• Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.
• If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob
to ‘OFF’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try
lighting again.
• Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’
settings only.
To light a burner, the knob must be turned to the ‘HIGH’
position, then pushed down as far as possible for
approximately 5 seconds. If the flame goes out when the
knob is released simply depress the knob again, this time
holding it down with slightly more force for the same length
of time. The height of the flame can be varied by turning
the control knob toward the ‘LOW’ position.
In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition
directly to the burner with a hand held ignition source.

Using your cooktop
caution

Choice of burner
For your convenience there is a choice of burners –
• A small burner for special low heat and slow cooking.
• A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.
• A large burner for fast heating and large pots and pans
(one on the four burner model and two on the five
burner model).
• A wok burner for very fast heating using a wok or large
pot or pan.
To conserve gas place the pan centrally over the burner
and adjust the flame so that it does not extend past the
edge of the pan (Figure 4). Do not boil food too rapidly.
A vigorous boil will not cook food any faster, and will
waste energy.
Pots and pans
All common pots and pans; aluminium, stainless steel,
cast iron ceramic, etc., may be used on your new gas
cooktop. Ensure that the pots or pans are steady and have
flat bases to avoid dangerous spill-over of hot liquids and
wasted energy.
Never use asbestos mats, wire mats or grids, aluminium
foil as it can lead to overheating, cracked enamel or broken
glass. The warranty will be void if these utensils are used
and cause a failure. Woks should only be used on the wok
burner and wok support trivet.

caution
Ensure the appliance is off and cool before cleaning.
Enamel
Persistent stains may require rubbing with a nylon scourer
or creamed powder cleansers. Household enamel cleaners
are available, follow the manufacturer’s instructions in their
use. Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel
wool or wax polishes should not be used.
Stainless steel
The trims are made from Fingerprint Resistant Stainless
Steel. Simply wipe with a soft cloth using warm water and
a mild detergent to maintain the good looks of this mark
resistant surface.
DO NOT use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive cleaners
or harsh solvents.
Ceramic glass
The specially treated glass in the product is manufactured
using the latest technology to the highest possible
standards for both safety and reliability. However, it must be
remembered that as it is CERAMIC GLASS, it may break.
Treat it accordingly. To clean the ceramic glass hob use a
soft cloth or sponge with detergent and warm water.
If the hob is very soiled:
1. Remove soilage using the razor blade scraper.
2. Use a hob cleaner product after there has been
sufficient time allowed for the hob to cool. Shake the
bottle and apply a small quantity of cleaner directly onto
the hob. Rub clean using a damp cloth or paper towels.
3. Use a damp cloth to remove all remaining traces of the
cleaner, which could otherwise burn on when the hob is
next used. Wipe the hob dry.
Cleaning and care
caution
Use the scraper supplied to remove spillages
immediately, while the hob is still hot! Especially sugar
and foods with a high sugar content (eg. jam), melted
plastics and foil, all of which can damage the hob if left.
Razor blade scraper
Use the scraper to remove spillages from the ceramic hob.
How to use the razor blade scraper:
1. Pull back the protective cover until the blade is visible.
2. Make sure that the razor blade is clean and not worn.
There is a risk, otherwise, that it might damage the hob.
New razor blades can be bought from pharmacies.
3. Angle scraper at approx. 45° and scrape away the
spillage. The razor blade can be pressed down hard
onto the hob without causing any damage.
4. Carefully clean the blade by wiping it with a paper towel.
5. When you have finished, press the protective cover
forwards as far as it will go. Keep the scraper out of the
reach of children.
Changing the razor blade:
1. Open the scraper by completely unscrewing the screw
and then place the new razor blade at the front edge.
2. Put the scraper together again and screw the screw
back into place.
3. Press the protective cover forwards as far as it will go to
cover the razor blade.
THE RAZOR BLADE SCRAPER SHOULD BE KEPT
WELL OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Use the
razor blade scraper carefully, as the razor blade is
extremely sharp.
Trivets and burner caps
These can all be lifted off and removed for separate
cleaning.
NOTE! When refitting the burner caps, ensure that they are
correctly seated.
Ensure burner caps are thoroughly dried after cleaning or
spillage. When cleaning the burner caps, ensure that all the
flame ports are free of any blockage. IF necessary, use a
toothpick or brush to clear ports. The outer surface of the
burner caps have a polished finish and extra care needs to
be taken to avoid scratching this surface during cleaning. In
instances of heavy soiling, it may be necessary to apply a
non-abrasive cleaning compound and rub with a cloth until
the soiling is removed and then finish with a soft, dry cloth.
NOTE! DO NOT place burner caps in the dishwasher.
Ignition spark plug and flame safeguard sensor
GENTLY clean the ignition spark plug and flame safeguard
sensor with a damp cloth to avoid lighting difficulties.
Ensure that they are dry before use.
