Introducing your cooktop

Now that your new cooktop is installed and ready to use, you will want to know everything
about it to ensure excellent results right from the start.

This booklet will introduce you to the features and special talents of your cooktop.
We recommend you read the whole book before you start using your cooktop, for the sake of
safety as well as success.

First use

Check that the cooktop is plugged in and the electricity switched on for the electronic ignition

to work.

Temperature control

1

Choose the control knob for the burner you want to

use.

2

Press down gently and turn the knob anticlockwise to

the high position. You do not need to hold the knob
down.

3

All electrodes will spark until the selected burner

ignites.

Note: For the first burner selected there is a short

delay before the safety valve allows gas to flow to the
cooktop.

4

Adjust the flame anywhere between the High and

the Low positions. Do not adjust the flame between High and Off.

If the cooktop does not light

Check that the cooktop is plugged in and the power is switched on.
Check that the gas is turned on.
Check that the burner parts, including the burner cap, are positioned correctly.

Allow two seconds for the safety valve to open when igniting

the first burner.

A dirty or wet electrode will prevent the burner lighting

efficiently. Clean electrodes with a toothbrush and methylated
spirits.

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 shut off and the burner ‘ON’ indicator light
will flash slowly. The burner must be turned OFF and restarted to resume cooking.

Power failure

In the event of a power failure, the gas supply will be cut off, even if a burner is in use. When the
power is restored and if the burner control knob is still in the ON position, the burner ‘ON’ light
will flash rapidly. The burner must be turned OFF and restarted to resume cooking.

Accessories

Using a wok

The pan support over the central ‘wok’ burner is shaped to fit a wok. Care should be taken when
using a large wok that other pots are not pushed sideways and become unstable or deflect heat
onto nearby walls.

Re-assembling the wok burner (CG913TM Iridium models only)

Parts of your wok burner have locating pins to help you to assemble it correctly after cleaning.
Incorrect assembly can cause irregular flames and ignition problems. Refer to this diagram for
the correct order of assembly. Note: The brass parts of your wok burner will change colour with
use. This is normal and will not affect performance.

Repositioning the 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.

TITAN MODELS (CG913 Series)

Using the Simmermat

The Simmermat helps you control the temperature
of your cooking surface to ensure the long slow
simmering that is needed for successfully cooking
delicate foods. Use at low heat only. Always
remember it is for simmering and exposure to
extreme heat may distort it.

To use the Simmermat

1

First cook the food, or bring to the boil, over high heat.

2

Then reduce the heat and carefully place the Simmermat over the flame with the points facing

upwards. Put your saucepan on top of the points and simmer on the low flame setting.

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard

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.

Temperature control

1

Choose the control knob for the burner you want to

use.

2

Press down gently and turn the knob anticlockwise

to the high position. All electrodes will spark
until you release the knob. Hold down the knob for
approximately five seconds as releasing it too soon may
extinguish the flame.

3

Adjust the flame anywhere between the High and Low

positions. Do not adjust the flame between High and
Off.

If the cooktop does not light

Check that the cooktop is plugged in and the power is switched on.
Check that the gas is turned on.
Check that the burner parts, including the burner cap, are positioned correctly.

If the burner has not lit within 15 seconds, turn the control knob off and wait at least one minute

before trying again.

A dirty or wet electrode will prevent the burner lighting

efficiently. Clean electrodes with a toothbrush and
methylated spirits.

Flame failure safety feature

Some cooktops have a flame failure safety thermocouple fitted (see previous diagram).
When lighting the burner on flame failure models, hold the knob down for five seconds after the

burner has lit.

Releasing the burner knob too soon will extinguish the flame.

In the event of the burner flame being accidentally blown out, the flame failure safety device will
cut off the gas supply. Before relighting the burner, turn the knob off and wait one minute.

Power failure

In the event of a power failure, the burners can be lit by holding a match close to the side of the
burner and turning the control knob to the high flame position. Wait until the flame is burning
all the way around the burner cap before adjusting.

Using the skillet (CG902 series only)

Season your skillet before using for the first time.

See below.

Your skillet will offer you a quick, hot method of

cooking which is ideal for tender cuts of meat,
panini, chargrilled vegetables, pikelets and
pancakes.

Best results are obtained by placing the skillet over

the fish burner (CG902 series only).

Always use medium to high temperatures and heat

the skillet well before cooking on it. Oil the food
prior to cooking, not the skillet, to avoid splattering
and smoking.

Steaks - best turned only once about halfway through the cooking time. The skillet needs to

have reached a high temperature to sear the outside of the steak and prevent the meat stewing
in its own juices. Test if steaks are cooked by pressing with tongs, the less movement there is, the
more cooked the steak is. Don’t cut the steak to see if it is cooked, as this releases the juices and
dries the steak out.

Capsicums, eggplant, tomato halves & zucchini are some of the vegetables ideal for char grilling

on the ridged side of the skillet. Flat breads and polenta are wonderful when cooked on the flat
side.

Seasoning the skillet

Your new skillet comes with a finish which is intended to burn off with seasoning. The seasoning

process will naturally blacken the skillet.

To season - first wash your skillet thoroughly in warm water with detergent. Use a scouring pad

to remove any residue that might be on the skillet. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Drying may be
helped by warming the skillet on a burner.

Coat the skillet, including handles, liberally with vegetable oil and place in an oven at 150 °C for

one hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Wipe excess oil from the skillet with a paper
towel.

Cleaning the skillet

Place in hot water with a small amount of detergent while still warm. If there is food residue
left on the skillet, scrub with a wire barbeque brush to remove it. Make sure that the skillet is
completely dry before storing.

8

Using a wok

When using any wok, make sure it does not
push any other pots and pans aside. This
could make them unstable, or deflect heat
onto nearby walls or the benchtop.

Only use the circular wok ring supplied with your
Jet cooktop for wok cooking.

Coffee pot support

For the simmer and semi-rapid burners, pots should be larger than 12 cm in diameter (smaller
pots can be used with the coffee pot support). The coffee pot support allows small items to be

placed on burners. Do not leave the coffee pot
on the pan support when not in use as this may cause
damage to the pan support.

Fish kettle (not supplied)

A fish kettle on the fish burner is useful for poaching
fish and steaming long vegetables like cobs of corn,
Chinese broccoli, long beans and asparagus.

Repositioning the pan supports

The pan support above the wok burner is higher

than those above the other burners. Replace the

pan supports correctly after cleaning.

Hints and tips

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

Do not use an asbestos mat between the flame and the saucepan as this may cause serious

damage to your cooktop.

Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the burners.

Saucepans should have thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take

longer to cook. Very heavy saucepans may bend the pan support or deflect the flame.

Match the bottom of your saucepans with the cooking zone of the burner and always make sure

they are stable. This will give you the most efficient cooking. Do not let large saucepans or frying

pans overlap the bench as this can deflect heat onto the benchtop and damage the surface.

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 cooking time.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible solutions

My cooktop does not
light

Check the cooktop is plugged in and the power is switched
on.

The gas electrodes may be dirty. These can be easily cleaned
with a toothbrush and methylated spirits.

The burner parts may not be located properly. Check the
assembly and make sure the burner cap is sitting flat.

Check the gas supply valve is turned on and the supply to
the house is working. Gas should be heard when you turn a
burner on.

My burner flames are
yellow/slow to start

The burner parts may not be located properly. Check the
assembly and make sure the burner cap is sitting flat.

If you use bottled gas this may indicate you are getting near
the end of the bottle.

Check the burner parts are not blocked with water.

The gas pressure may not be at the correct level. Check with
your service person/installer.

One of my burners
has an uneven flame

Check the burner parts are clean and dry. Check the assembly
and make sure the burner cap is sitting flat.

My cooktop goes
out when I let go of
the knob (Jet models

CG602 & CG902 only)

Your cooktop has a safety feature called ‘flame failure’. When
lighting a burner, you need to hold down the knob for five
seconds.

The flame goes out at
low settings

The gas supply pressure may be low. Check with your service
person/installer.

The low setting may have been adjusted incorrectly. Check
with your service person/installer.

Care and cleaning

Clean regulary – 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).

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.

Clean brushed stainless steel in the direction of the grain.

Soak stubborn stains under a soapy cloth.

Pan supports etc. are dishwasher safe. For stubborn stains, see the following chart.

Do not clean cooktop parts in a self-cleaning oven.
