2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIGHTING THE BURNER
The hotplates are fitted with mains powered electronic spark ignitors, so must be connected to
mains power supply (i.e. nominal 230 V ac) to operate. If power is not available, the hotplate
will still work but the burners will have to be lit with a match or similar.
Depressing the gas control knob of any burner will activate the spark ignition for all burners.
To light the burner, turn the gas control knob to the High Flame setting of the burner to be lit,
while at the same time depressing the gas control knob to activate the spark ignition.
Once the burner is alight continue to depress the gas control knob for 5 – 10 seconds to allow
the flame safeguard to activate. If when you release the gas control knob, the burner flame
goes out the flame safeguard has not heated up enough so repeat the ignition procedure after
waiting 1 minute for gas to disperse. If problems with burner lighting persist, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING section of these instructions.
If power is not available, light a match or similar, then turn the gas control knob for the
burner to be lit, to the High Flame setting. Once again if problems with burner lighting persist,
refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section of these instructions.
When burner lights, adjust desired flame height. On finishing, turn control knob to off position
marked with a black DOT.
