WARNING

warning

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

warning

Where the appliance is installed in any conﬁned area, the area must be properly ventilated. It MUST NOT be used as a space heater.

Controls

Each burner is controlled by a control knob. The markings on the control panel indicate which burner the knob controls, and the settings for that burner (see Figure 2).

Figure 2

OFF

LOW

Lighting burners

Electronic ignition: These cooktops are ﬁtted with mains powered or battery ignition. When the appliance has been connected and the power is on, depressing any knob will release sparks to all burners (except push button ignition, see push button ignition models). To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob and turn to the ‘HIGH’ position (while depressing the knob). The knob may be released once the ﬂame is established.

Flame safeguard models

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.

Push button ignition: Turn the knob to the ‘HIGH’ position and press the ignition button down until the ﬂame is established. The height of the ﬂame can be varied by turning the knob towards the ‘LOW’ position.

warning

Keep hands clear of the burners when lighting. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to ‘OFF’

position, allow gas to disperse then try lighting again.

caution

Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’ settings only.In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition directly to the burner with a hand held ignition source.

Hotplates

Choice of hotplate

For your convenience there is a choice of hotplates:

• 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.

• 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 3). 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.

Figure 3

Choice of ﬂame height

Incorrect – ﬂame too high and

will cause gas waste and possible

handle damage.

Choice of cooking utensils

For a large burner, use a large utensil.

caution

Never use asbestos mats, wire mats or grids, or aluminium foil as it can lead to overheating, cracked enamel or broken glass. The warranty will be void if these items are used and cause a failure. Woks should only be used on the wok burner and wok support trivet.

Correct ﬂame height.

Gas saved.

For a small burner, use a small utensil.

warning

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

NOTE: Ensure any oil is cleaned off the hob before use, otherwise it may cause the hob to turn a yellowish colour.

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

caution

DO NOT use abrasive scourers or steel wool.

Trivets, burner caps and crowns

These can all be lifted off and removed for separate cleaning.

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

Ensure burners are thoroughly dried after cleaning or spillage. When cleaning the burners, ensure that all the ﬂame ports are free of any blockage (refer to Figure 1b on page 4). 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.

caution

DO NOT place trivets or burners in the dishwasher.

Ignition electrode

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.

Injector

Ensure the injector remains free of any foreign material. If necessary, use a thin piece of wire to clear the oriﬁce.
