Gas connection
During the planning stage, consider the position of
supply connections.
The cooktop must be connected to the gas supply with
upstream connection of an isolation valve in
accordance with the respectively valid regulations. We
recommend that the isolation valve be fitted prior to the
cooktop to enable isolation of cooktop from gas supply.
The valve must be easily accessible at all times.
To find out the factory set gas type, see bottom of
cooktop next to gas connection.
Remove plastic cap from gas supply line prior to
installation.
Use pipe compound or thread sealant, properly
threaded pipes and careful assembly procedure so that
there is no cross threading, etc., which might cause
damage or leakage.
Make sure that all connections performed are free of
leakage. The manufacturer does not accept any liability
for leakage on connections performed by the installer or
if the L-tube is moved or twisted.
There are two ways to carry out the connection to the
main gas line:
■ The hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe as
specified in AS/NZS 5601.1
■ Flexible Hose: If installing with a hose assembly, it
must comply with AS/NZS 1869, 10 mm ID, class B
or D, no more than 1.2 m long and installed in
accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1.
Ensure that the hose does not contact the hot
surfaces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or any
other appliance that may be installed underneath or
next to the hotplate. The hose should not be
subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent
deformation and should be able to be inspected
along its entire length with the cooktop in the
installed position. Unions compatible with the hose
fittings must be used and all connections tested for
gas leaks.
The supply connection point shall be accessible with
the appliance installed.
WARNING: Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained
from accidental contact with the flue outlet of an
underbench oven.

Before Leaving
Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and
water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks.
Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently to
ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and
ignition. Turn gas taps to low flame position and
observe stability of the flame for each burner
individually and all together. Adhere the duplicate data
plate to an accessible location near the hotplate. When
satisfied with the hotplate, please instruct the user on
the correct method of operation. In case the appliance
fails to operate correctly after all checks have been
carried out, refer to the authorised service provider in
your area.
It should be expressly noted that we cannot accept any
liability for direct or indirect damage caused by wrong
connection, leakage or improper installation. When
being repaired, the appliance must always be
disconnected from the mains supply; if required, notify
our customer service.
Converting the cooktop from Nat. Gas to
Universal LPG
All work involved in installation, setting and adaptation
to a different gas type must be carried out by a licensed
gas fitter and must comply with current regulations and
the conditions laid down by the local gas company.
Before conversion the cooktop must be disconnected
from the electricity and gas valves must be turned to the
OFF position.
Important: After finishing, stick the sticker, indicating
the new gas type, close to the specifications plate.

Adjusting the gas valves
1. Turn the control knobs to the lowest setting.
2. Remove the control knobs from the gas valves. A
flexible rubber sealing ring will be visible. Push down
with the tip of a screwdriver on the gas valve's
setting screw.
Never remove the sealing ring. Sealing rings
prevent liquids and dirt from finding their way into the
appliance and impairing its ability to function properly.
3. Adjust the minimum ring setting by turning the by-
pass screw using a flat head screwdriver.
To adjust the minimum flame for N.G. replace the
control knob onto the spindle, light the gas and turn
the control knob to the small flame position. Screw
the adjustment screw anti-clockwise to estabilish a
minimum stable flame position. The flame should
remain alight and not burn back to the injector when
the valve is turned quickly from ‘Full On’ to the
“Minimum flame” position and back a few times. To
adjust the minimum flame position for ULPG the
screw must be fully tightened down clockwise.
If the by-pass screw cannot be accessed, disassemble
the grease drip tray, which is fixed to the rest of the hob
using a clip and screw mounting system. The following
steps must be taken to remove it:
1. Remove all pan supports, burner caps, diffusers and
control knobs.
2. Loosen the screws on the burners.
3. To assemble the grease splash tray again, proceed
in the reverse order to removal.
It is important that all the seals are refitted to form a seal.
Never remove the gas tap axle. In the event of damage,
the gas valve must be completely replaced.

Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save
energy and prevent pan damage:
Use pans which are the
right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
must not touch the sides
of the pan.
Do not use damaged
pans, which do not sit
evenly on the hob. Pans
may tip over.
Only use pans with a
thick, flat base.
Do not cook without using
a lid and make sure the lid
is properly fitted. This
wastes energy.
Always centre the pan
over the burner, not to one
side. Otherwise it could tip
over.
Do not place large pans
on the burners near the
control knobs. These may
be damaged by the very
high temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on
the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps
are correctly positioned
before using the
appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and
do not place excessive
weight on it.
Never use two burners or
heat sources to heat one
single pan.
Do not use grill pans,
earthenware casserole
dishes, etc. for a long
period of time on
maximum power.
Do not place anything, eg.
flame tamer, asbestos mat,
between pan and pan
support as serious damage
to the appliance may result.
Do not remove the pan
support and enclose the
burner with a wok stand as
this will concentrate and
deflect heat onto the
hotplate.
Do not use large pots or
heavy weights which can
bend the pan support or
deflect flame onto the
hotplate.

burner parts once they have cooled down. If any
residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.),
however little, it will become stuck to the surface and
more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves
must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.
The movement of some pans may leave metal residue
on the pan supports.
Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water
and scrub with a non-wire brush.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure
that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose
and the pan support may scratch the hob.
Always dry the burners and pan supports completely.
Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start
of cooking may damage the enamel.
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the
burner caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.
Caution!
■ Do not remove the control knobs when cleaning the
appliance. The appliance may be damaged if
moisture finds its way inside.
■ Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the
hob.
■ Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp
implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened
food from the hob.
■ Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements to
clean the point where the glass meets the burner
trims, the metal frames or the glass/aluminium
panels, if fitted.
■ Do not put the burner components in the
dishwasher.
Maintenance
Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will
prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface
and you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may
scratch it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp
objects on the glass. Never strike any part of the hob.
Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and
vegetables will scratch the glass surface.
Melted sugar, or foods which contain a lot of sugar
which may have spilt, should be cleaned off the hob
immediately, using the glass scraper.
