Safety and warnings

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard

This appliance becomes hot during use. Do not touch the cooktop components, burners, trivets/pan supports or the stainless steel base when hot. Before cleaning, turn the burners off and make sure the whole cooktop is cool. Always turn the burner off before moving the SimmerMat and handle the hot

SimmerMat with tongs and/or pot holders

Failure to do so could result in burns and scalds.

Explosion Hazard

Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the cooktop. Do not spray aerosols near the cooktop during use.

Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.

Important safety precautions

Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children. Children, or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can use the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings. This appliance should be connected to a circuit that incorporates an isolating switch providing full disconnection from the electricity supply. Do not stand or place heavy objects on this appliance. Do not use an asbestos mat or decorative covers between the flame and the saucepan as this may cause serious damage to your cooktop. Do not place aluminium foil or plastic dishes on the cooktop burners. Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface. Do not let large saucepans, frying pans or woks push any other pans aside. This could make them unstable or deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface. Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning this cooktop. Saucepan handles may be hot to touch. Ensure saucepan handles do not overhang other gas burners that are on. Keep handles out of reach of children. If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by an authorised person. Ensure that the electrical connection plug is accessible after installation. Where this gas cooktop is installed in marine craft or in a caravan, it shall not be used as a space heater. The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated. Keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation

where present.

Note: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the control knob off before trying again.

If the cooktop does not light

If the cooktop does not light, check that:

The cooktop is plugged in and the electricity is switched on. The gas is turned on. You have allowed at least five seconds for the safety valve to open when lighting the first burner. The electrodes are sparking.

If the electrodes are not sparking, they may be dirty or wet. Clean them with a toothbrush and

methylated spirits, as shown in Fig. 3.

Electricity failure

In the event of an electricity failure, the gas supply will be cut off, even if a burner is in use. If the burner control knob is still in the ON position when the electricity is restored, the burner ‘ON’ light will flash rapidly. Turn the burner OFF and restart to resume cooking.

Flame failure reignition system

In the event of the flame being accidentally blown out, the flame failure reignition system will detect this, and the electrode will spark and relight the flame. If no flame is detected after about five seconds, the gas supply to the appliance will be cut off and the burner ‘ON’ indicator light will flash slowly. The burner must be turned OFF and restarted to resume cooking. See also ‘Troubleshooting’.

Using your cooktop

General guidelines

To get the best out of your cooktop, follow these simple suggestions:

Use saucepans with thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take

longer to cook.

Fig.7 Efficient and inefficient saucepan bottoms

Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can deflect heat onto your

benchtop and damage the surface.

Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the trivet/pan

support or deflect the flame.

When you need to boil, simmer or fry food, first set the temperature to the High position.

Once the food is boiling, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady heat to cook your food thoroughly. Doing this will reduce the cooking time.

For auxillary and semi-rapid burners, pans should be 12 cm (5 in.) or larger in diameter. For rapid burners, pans should be 18-26 cm (7-10 in.) in diameter.

Using a wok

Use your wok only on the wok burner. The trivet/pan support is shaped to take a traditional wok with a round base. You can also use a wok stand. Make sure the stand fits securely on the four fingers of the trivet/ pan support, and is stable. Do not use a wok larger than 45 cm (18 in.) The wok burner is designed to be used with a wok but may be used with pans 18-26 cm

(7-10 in.) in diameter, with care.

Using your cooktop

Using a SimmerMat (if supplied)

A SimmerMat helps control the temperature of the cooking surface for gentle cooking or the long slow simmering that is needed for some foods. Use at low

heat only.

To simmer

First bring the food to the boil over high heat. Then turn the burner off and carefully place the SimmerMat over the burner on the trivet/pan support, with the points facing upward. Re-light the burner, turn to Low and place your saucepan on top of the SimmerMat.

Using a griddle (if supplied)

Cooking with a griddle

A griddle is ideal for cooking a variety of foods. The surfaces of a cast-iron griddle will become more and more non-stick as cooking oils become baked in. This ‘seasoning’ process can be started by coating both surfaces of the griddle with cooking oil and baking in the oven at 150

Heat the griddle for a few minutes before using. Brush the food, not the griddle, with oil, to reduce

splatter and smoking.

Cook steak and vegetables at high temperatures on the ribbed side of the griddle. Turn the steak

only once, about halfway through the cooking time. To test, press the surface of the steak. The softer the meat is, the ‘rarer’ or less well done it will be.

Griddle scones, pancakes, pikelets, polenta and eggs are best cooked slowly at medium to low

temperatures on the flat side of the griddle.

C (300 OF) for about an hour.

Fig.9 Only use the griddle on the Wok burner

Fig.8 Only use the SimmerMat

on the Auxilliary burner

Important!

Prolonged cooking with the griddle at high temperatures may damage the cooktop.

Cleaning a cast-iron griddle

Leave the griddle to cool before cleaning. Scrape away any food residue and wash in warm soapy

water.

Do not scour to the bare metal when cleaning the griddle or you will remove the non-stick

coating that has built up during cooking.

Dry the griddle thoroughly and wipe with a thin coating of cooking oil to prevent rust forming,

especially when the griddle is new.

Care and cleaning

General cleaning advice

Clean the cooktop regularly – do not let stains become burnt on. Use soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth (use the mildest cleaner that will do the job). Do not

use abrasive cleaners, steel soap pads or sharp objects on stainless steel. Soak stains under a soapy cloth. Clean brushed stainless steel in the direction of the grain.

Rinse with clean water to ensure no cleaner residue is left (when heated this can stain the

cooktop).

Dry thoroughly to avoid leaving water marks. For extra shine on stainless steel, use a stainless

steel polish.

You can wash trivets/pan supports in the dishwasher. Clean the burner parts in hot soapy water. Make sure you keep the holes and slots clear. Thoroughly dry the burner parts. The flames will be irregular if the burner ring is not completely

dry.

Clean electrodes with a toothbrush and methylated spirits. Do not clean cooktop parts in a self-cleaning oven. Do not use a steam cleaner. After cleaning, replace the parts correctly on the cooktop, as shown in Fig. 10, 11 and 12. When

replacing the burner rings, turn the rings until the positioning teeth are placed correctly.

For stubborn stains, see the ‘Cleaning chart’.

Replacing the trivet/pan supports

The wok support goes in the centre over the wok burner. The other two pan supports are interchangeable but need to be rotated to match the rounded corners of the hob top.

Rounded corners

Care and cleaning

Re-assembling the brass wok burner (some models only)

Each part of the brass burner has locating pins to help you to assemble it correctly after cleaning. Incorrect assembly can cause dangerous irregular flames and ignition problems. See Figs. 11 and 12 for the correct assembly. Note: The brass parts of your wok burner will change colour with use. This will have no effect on the performance. You can clean these with a brass cleaner.
