Introduction

Thank you for choosing to buy a GN Espace marine cooker.
Please spend the time to read this instruction booklet thoroughly. It will help you get the most from

the many features that this cooker has to offer. When installed and used correctly we are confident
that you will benefit from many years of trouble-free use from this cooker.

Tip: Keep this instruction booklet in a safe place so that anyone using the appliance can read it.
Write the name, model and serial number, which are shown on the back of the appliance, into the
instruction booklet. This will help if you need to contact us about your cooker in the future.

Warning. LP gas is heavier than air and any leakage will collect in low level unventilated
areas. Gas bottles shall be sited in a well ventilated store.

Warning: If a gas leak is suspected due to the smell of gas, switch off the gas cylinder
IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish all naked lights including cigarettes. Do not operate electrical
switches. Open all doors and windows. Propane and butane gases are heavier than air and
will therefore collect at a low level. Check for leaks using a leak detector spray or a soap and
water solution. Never check for leaks with a naked flame.

General Description

The GN Espace marine cooker is a single cavity gas oven with grill and a hob. Each burner has an
individual gas safety thermocouple. It is designed to operate using an external LPG, Propane or
Butane gas supply (subject to appropriate injectors and gas pressure) petroleum gas (LPG)

systems.

The cooker is manufactured using stainless steel and other technical materials which are designed
for long life in a rugged marine environment.

The cooker is designed for gimballed or fixed installation. A fixed position harbour lock is fitted.
This cooker is also suitable for a fixed installation on boats and recreational vehicles and caravans.
The oven and hob are designed around the dimensions of the Gastronorm professional catering

equipment (EN631). This allows an extensive range of interchangeable Gastronorm cookware to
be used with the cooker, as well as standard ovenware.

This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the regulations in force and in a well ventilated
area. Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims and
lead to prosecution.

Read these instructions before installing and using the appliance.
IMPORTANT : This cooker is suitable for use with both propane and butane gas with the

appropriate regulator fitted. Please note that the two gasses have different burning characteristics
and are affected by the ambient temperature. There will be a performance variation for the cooker
depending on the gas type used and ambient temperature ie. Butane is not recommended for use
in colder climates.

Camping Gaz (Butane) – The restricted orifice size on a CampingGaz container (R907, R904)
limits the gas flow reaching the cooker (especially in cold weather) resulting is longer heat­up and cooking times.

appliance gas supply

Hob, grill and oven ignition

Replacing the Battery

The battery for the ignition will usually
last for many months. If the ignition
system doesn't work you probably
need to replace the battery.

The battery (1.5V AA size) is at the
bottom rear of the appliance. To
replace the battery unscrew the
battery cover by hand, change the
battery and replace the lid. Make sure

that the –ve end of the battery is held
in the spring.

You can light the burners with a match if needed.

Using the hob
Heat control

The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can
adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings.

Burner sizes

Depending on the model the hotplate has two burner sizes to suit different types of cooking:
Semi Rapid (Normal) - use for everyday cooking.
Auxiliary (small) burner - use for simmering food such as soups and stews.

If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure
the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly.
