Using your cooktop
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).
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.
caution
•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.

Burners
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.
caution
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.

Cleaning and care
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.
caution
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.
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.
caution
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.
