BURNER USE
Burner output
All burners have the same low turn-down setting (
hr). Use SIM for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering
soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
For cooking that requires intense heat use the burners listed below. These have a higher
maximum output than other burners (20,000 BTU/hr for Natural gas, 15,000 BTU/hr for LP
gas).
CDV3-365 models: Center burner
CDV3-304: Front left
Use and care
z
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boil-over causes smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite.
z
Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides. This could discolor
and damage the utensil and you may get burned touching a hot handle.
z
Keep handles out of the way. Turn handles so that they don’t extend over the edge of the
cooktop or another burner that is on.
z
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on
a high setting.
z
Make sure that all burner parts are correctly fitted. Incorrectly or incompletely assembled
burners may produce dangerous flames. See ‘Replacing burner parts’.
z
Keep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boilover, ensure the affected burners
are cleaned before using them again. Food residue may clog the ignitor and the notches
of the flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning correctly. See ‘Care and
cleaning’ for instructions.
z
Check that the burner flames are regular. They should be blue with no yellow tipping, and
burn without fluttering around the burner cap. If not, see ‘Troubleshooting’ for advice.
z
Use woks only with a wok ring. Wok rings can be purchased separately through your
Fisher & Paykel dealer or Customer Care. To use, place the wok ring over the grates,
making sure the small protrusions on its bottom straddle the grate fingers. The wok ring
should be stable and unable to rotate.

CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYSNEVER
• Read these instructions and the ‘Safety and
warnings’ section before you start cleaning
your cooktop.
• Before cleaning or removing any part, make
sure that everything on the range has been
turned off.
• Unless suggested otherwise in the chart
following, allow any part to cool to a safe
temperature before cleaning. If you do need
to handle a warm or hot part take extreme
care. Wear long protective mitts to avoid
burns from steam or hot surfaces.
• Try using any cleaner on a small area first, to
ensure it doesn’t stain.
• Use aerosol cleaners until the cooktop has
completely cooled. The propellant substance in
these cleaners could catch fire in the presence of
heat.
• Let soiling or grease accumulate anywhere on
the cooktop. This will make future cleaning more
difficult and may present a fire hazard.
• Use any abrasive or harsh cleaners, cloths, scouring
pads or steel wool. These will scratch your range
and damage its appearance.
• Use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the range.
• Lift the black grill and griddle frames off the
cooktop.
WHAT?HOW?IMPORTANT!
BurnersDo not clean these parts. They
self-clean during normal use.
Area around burners• Soften any stubborn stains
using a hot soapy cloth before
cleaning with a solution of mild
detergent and hot water. Wipe
dry with a microfiber cloth.
• For extra shine, use a suitable
stainless steel cleaner. Always
rub the stainless steel in the
direction of the polish lines.
Burner caps and
flame spreaders
Ensure the burner is turned
and cool. Lift off the burner cap
and brass flame spreader and wash
in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry.
Use a stiff nylon brush or straightended paper clip to clear the
notches of the flame spreader.
Replace the flame spreader
and burner cap correctly. See
‘Replacing burner parts’.
OFF
• Always read the label to ensure
your stainless steel cleaner does
not contain chlorine compounds
as these are corrosive and may
damage the appearance of
your cooktop.
Keep the notches of the flame
spreaders clear. Soiling may clog
these and cause ignition problems.
Before replacing the burner parts,
ensure they are dry. Wet burner parts
may result in an irregular flame.
Before lighting a burner, ensure
all parts are positioned correctly.
Incorrect assembly can cause
dangerous irregular flames and
ignition problems.

CARE AND CLEANING
WHAT?HOW?IMPORTANT!
IgnitorsEnsure the burner is turned OFF.
Clean the ignitor with a small
brush or cotton swab that has
been dipped into rubbing alcohol.
Burner gratesEnsure grates have cooled
completely before carefully lifting
them off the cooktop. Place on
a protected surface. To remove
stubborn stains, soak the grates in
a mixture of clothes detergent and
water. Wash in a mixture of hot
water and dishwashing liquid, then
rinse and allow to dry. The grates
are also dishwasher safe.
The ignitors must be kept clean
and dry to work correctly. Dirty or
wet ignitors could cause constant
clicking and sparking, even if a flame
is present.
Take care, the grates are heavy.
Ensure you place a dish towel or
other soft cover on the surface before
putting a grate on it.
Replacing burner parts
Ensure that all burner parts are correctly fitted. Incorrectly assembled burners may
produce dangerous flames. Flames should be blue with no yellow tipping, and burn without
fluttering around the burner cap.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEMPOSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
The ignitor keeps clicking
(continuous spark) even
when a burner has lit.
None of the burners
will light.
Some burners will not
light – Flames do not burn
all around the burner cap.
There is no clicking when I
try to light a burner.
There is a slight ‘extinction
pop’ or flash after I’ve
turned a burner off.
The flames have suddenly
gone out.
The burner flames are
uneven, very large, yellow
or yellow-tipped or sooty.
Dirty or wet ignitor(s)Clean the ignitor(s).
See ‘Care and cleaning’
for guidance.
No power supplyThe cooktop burners can still be
used. To light them manually refer
to ‘‘Manual lighting’ for guidance.
No gas supplyCheck that the gas supply to the
house is working. You should hear
the gas when you turn a burner on.
If you are using bottled gas, check
that it is not empty.
Burner parts or ignitors may be
wet, dirty, or misaligned.
The ignitor is dirty or there is a
power outage.
This is normal for LP gas and
requires no action.
A draft or a spill has extinguished
the flame.
Technical fault: the gas is the
wrong type or hasn’t been
adjusted properly.
Check that the burner parts
are clean, dry, and correctly
assembled. Ensure the ignitors
are clean and dry. See ‘Care and
cleaning’ for guidance.
Clean the ignitor(s).
See ‘Care and cleaning’
for guidance.
No action required. The burner
will detect this and automatically
relight. However, if there has
been a large spill, we recommend
turning the burners off and
cleaning the burners and sump
area. See ‘Care and cleaning’
for guidance.
Do not use your cooktop burners.
