CONVERSION FOR USE WITH A DIFFERENT GAS

This appliance is adjusted for use with the particular gas shown on the gas-type label. However, it can be converted for use with other gases, please refer to conversion section of this booklet.

AEROSOL SPRAYS

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation as aerosols can contain flammable propellants.

WARNINGS

•The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision

•Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance

•A steam cleaner is not to be used

•For appliance with supply cord:

•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard

•It is necessary to have plug accessible after installation

•This appliance must not be used as a space heater

•The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).

•Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

CONTROLS AND OPERATION

•Each burner is controlled by a valve which is activated by a control knob that diagrammatically shows high to low (Fig 1A).

•Where a solid hotplate is fitted it is controlled by an infinite control knob which gives a range from high to low using the numbers 6 to 1 as a guide (Fig 1B). This varies the amount of heat that the element delivers. The control can be turned either clockwise or counter-clockwise to the desired position. There is a click felt at the maximum point, number 6, to indicate high position.

LIGHTING BURNERS

These cooktops are fitted with battery or mains powered ignition. When the appliance has been connected and the power is switched on, depressing any knob will release sparks to all burners. To

light a burner turn the corresponding knob to the ‘High’ position while depressing the knob. For standard models the knob may be released once the flame is established. For Flame Safeguard Models the knob must be held down for 5-10 seconds once the burner is ignited. If the flame goes out when the knob is depressed simply depress the knob again and hold it down for the required

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 match or taper.

Caution:- In the event of the burner flame being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least 1 minute.

CHOICE OF BURNER

There are four burner sizes or three burners and an electric hotplate (where fitted) for your convenience.

•A small burner for special low heat and slow cooking OR solid hotplate (models with an electric element fitted).

•A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.

•A large burner for fast heating and large utensils.

•A Wok burner for very fast heating using a Wok or large utensil.

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 (Fig. 2).

Do not boil food too rapidly. A strong boil will not cook food any faster, and will waste energy.

UTENSILS

All normally available utensils; aluminium, stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, etc., may be used on your new gas or electric element model cooktop. Ensure that the utensils are steady and have flat bases to avoid dangerous spill-over of hot liquids and wasted energy. Do not use hollow based or oversized utensils i.e. utensils which have a greater diameter base than the hotplate (Fig. 3). Woks should only be used on the wok burner and the wok support trivet.

UTENSIL SIZES
Burner	minimum	maximum
	diameter	diameter
Ultra-rapid
(Triple crown)	180 mm.	260 mm.
Large (rapid)	180 mm.	260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid)	120 mm.	220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary)	80 mm.	160 mm.

ENAMEL

Persistent stains may require vigorous rubbing with nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers. Household enamel cleaners are available, follow the manufacturer’s instructions in their use. Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steam cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes should not be used.

STAINLESS STEEL

All grades of stainless steel may stain, discolour or attain an adhering layer of grime in normal operation. To achieve maximum surface appearance, stainless steel must be kept clean by regularly using the following cleaning procedures, thus ensuring good performance and long service life. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water. For an enhanced appearance wipe the surface with light oil (eg. sewing machine), then wipe the surface dry with a soft, clean, lintless cloth, being sure to follow the polish or brushing lines.

Where the stainless steel has become extremely dirty with signs of surface discolouration, (due to periods of neglect or misuse) use a stainless steel cleaner. When removing these stains be sure to follow the polish or brushing lines.

BURNER-CAPS AND CROWNS

These can all be lifted off and removed for separate cleaning. Ensure burner caps and crowns are thoroughly dried after cleaning or spillage.

When cleaning the burner crowns, ensure that all the flame ports and other holes are free of any blockage. If necessary, use a matchstick or brush to clear ports.

NOTE: When refitting the burner caps and crowns, ensure that they are correctly seated.
