IMPORTANT NOTE:

THIS APPLIANCE SHALL NOT BE USED AS A SPACE HEATER, ESPECIALLY IF

INSTALLED IN MARINE CRAFT OR CARAVANS.

The installation shall comply with the dimensions in gs. 2a, 2b bearing in mind that:

■ A 40mm ventilation gap must be provided between the bottom of the appliance and
any cabinetry, draw unit, thermal protection barrier or appliance.

■ If the cooktop is installed directly above an oven (which does not have a cooling fan
motor) or if its base is accessible through a cupboard or drawer space after installation,
a thermal protection barrier must be installed below the base of the cooktop as

indicated in g. 2c.

■ If the oven installed below the cooktop has a cooling fan motor, the thermal protection
barrier is not required.

■ If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the two appliances shall be connected to the
gas and/or electrical supply with independent connections.

■ Overhead clearances - In no case shall the clearance between the highest part of
the hob and a range hood be less than 600 mm, or for an overhead exhaust fan 750
mm. Any other downward facing combustible surface less than 600 mm above the
highest part of the hob shall be protected for the full width and depth of the cooking
surface area in accordance with local regulations in force. However, in no case shall
this clearance to any surface be less than 450 mm.

Standards requirement

Temperature of nearby surfaces. Australian and New Zealand Gas Installation Standards

(AS/NZS5601) require a cooktop to be installed so that the surface temperature of any
nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65°C above ambient.

This is typically achieved by:

■ having the cooktop spaced away from the wall (see gures 2a, 2b);

 AND

■ protecting the wall to a height of at least 150 mm along its length (minimum height of
non-combustible material when used on adjacent walls) with non-combustible surface

materials such as:

– 5 mm-thick ceramic tiles (these alone are adequate);
– tempered glass or sheetmetal, minimum thickness 0.4 mm (acceptable when used

in front of a re resistant material).

IMPORTANT: After using the dual burner check both the control

COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS

■ The burner must be chosen according to the
diameter of the pans and energy required.

■ The largest can be used for boiling, to seal meat
or foods that are cooked quickly, and the smallest
for stews and sauces.

■ Always ensure that you use the correct size of
saucepan.

■ For fast boiling, make sure the ame just reaches the edge of the pan. Flames going
up the side of the pan means wasted heat and the contents of the pan will take longer
to boil.

■ For optimum efciency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.

■ Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of
the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.

■ Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are offset.

■ It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.

■ When deep fat frying:

– Fill the pan only one third full of oil.
– DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
– In the unfortunate event of a re, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
– Place a damp cloth or correct tting lid over the pan to smother the ames.
– DO NOT use water on the re.
– Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.

GENERAL ADVICE

■ Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is switched off
and disconnected from the electrical power supply.

■ Important: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is recommended when
handling or cleaning of this appliance.

■ Under no circumstances should any external covers be removed for servicing or

maintenanceexceptbysuitablequaliedpersonnel.

■ It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning
the enamelled parts.

■ Be very careful that no water penetrates inside the appliance.

■ Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the

surfaces.

■ Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.

■ Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus

make it unsafe.

WARNING: When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements
laid down for this type of product category. However special care should be taken
around the underneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to
be touched and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.

ENAMELLED PARTS

■ All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other
non-abrasive products.

■ Dry preferably with a soft cloth.

■ If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the
enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES

■ Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean cloth.

■ For persistent dirt, use specic non-abrasive products available commercially or a little
hot vinegar.

PAINTED PARTS AND SILKSCREEN PRINTED SURFACES

■ Clean using an appropriate product. Always dry thoroughly.

IMPORTANT: these parts must be cleaned very carefully to avoid scratching and abrasion.
You are advised to use a soft cloth and neutral soap.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasive substances or non-neutral detergents as these will
irreparably damage the surface.
