This way you will avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance.

This appliance is intended for do-

mestic use. Should it be installed for commercial use, the relevant regulations must be observed.

Do not use the unit unless all parts

are properly in place according to the installation and operating instructions.

Ensure that the gas pipe and elec-

trical cable are installed in such a way that they do not touch any parts of the appliance which become hot. This could cause damage.

The electrical safety of this ap-

pliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system.

It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be tested and where there is any doubt, the electrical system of the house should be checked out by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective earthing system.

Installation work and repairs may

only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous.

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electrical supply by an extension cord. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Gas burners should only be used

in rooms with adequate ventilation. Ensure that the bench top area around the cooktop is clear of obstacles to allow sufficient ventilation.

The appliance is only completely

isolated from the elecrical supply when it is switched off at the wall socket, or the mains fuse is withdrawn. Do not pull by the mains cable, but by the plug when withdrawing the plug from the socket.

Important notes for the installer

Please ensure that the domestic

electrical supply corresponds to the information on the data plate. You should find out details about the type of gas and calorific value from your Gas Board and compare this information with the type of gas quoted on the data plate. They must correspond.

Warning and Safety Instructions

Check that all the burners are cor-

rectly assembled before igniting the gas, otherwise the ignition could malfunction.

Please note the following, in case

unit is on LPG supply:

Where this appliance is installed in marine craft or in caravans, it shall not be used as a space heater.

Wall sealing strips must be heat-

resistant and any backmoulding must be of heat resistant material.

The minimum clearances (USA/CDN):

The minimum clearances (AUS/NZ):

must be kept.:

See "Clearance above and around the appliance" (pages 27 – 31), 60 cm between the cooktop and a cooker hood above it.

Leave these instructions with the consumer.

When installing the gas cooktop, the following minimum dimensions

from adjacent combustible construction – 10" (250 mm), between appliance and rear wall or front of backsplash – 90 mm (CDN) or 3 1/2" (USA), between appliance and overhead combustible construction – 30" (760 mm) or 65 cm (26") between the cooktop and a cooker hood above it, between appliance and front edge of countertop – 2 1/4" (55 mm), depth of overhead cabinets must not exceed – 13" (330 mm), between combustible constructions and the extending cooking surface – 460 mm (Canada).

Important notes for the user

For safety reasons, this cooktop should only be installed as a built-

in appliance.

Do not let small children use the

appliance or touch it during operation. Not only do the cooking areas heat up, but also the control panel. Danger of burning. Keep all pans out of the reach of children. Supervise use of the cooktop by the elderly or infirm.

Warning and Safety Instructions

When cooking or boiling in large

pots or pans, ensure that there is a minimum distance of 2" (50 mm) between the pot and a heat-sensitive countertop. After combustion, the hot gases flow outwards under the base of the pot and may consequently burn the edge of the countertop if it is too close.

Make sure that there is a minimum

distance of 5/8" (15 mm) between the pot or pan and the control panel. Never place a pot on the control panel.

When using an electrical plug near

the cooktop, care should be taken to ensure that the cable of the electrical appliance does not fall into the flames.

Note that potential hazards may

exist with overhead cabinets.

The wok/pan support and trivet (if

supplied) heat up when the burners are in use. Do not touch them until they have cooled down. The use of oven gloves is recommended.

Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate on the unit.

Never leave the unit unattended

when cooking with oil or fat. Very hot oil can cause a fire.

Allow sufficient time for the unit to

cool before touching or exposing surface areas to flammable materials.

Always ensure that food is suffi-

ciently cooked or reheated. Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food, its temperature, changes to the recipe and the shape and size of cooking container. Some foods may contain microorganisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

It is essential to ensure that food

has been evenly and sufficiently heated. To check that it is thoroughly cooked, turn or stir during cooking if necessary.

If high settings are used, remain

near the cooktop in case grease should splatter or liquids boil over, which may cause smoking.

Never use damp potholders.

Use only suitable cookware for

range-top service. Unsuitable cookware may break due to a sudden temperature change.

Avoid allowing liquids or foods con-

taining salt to spill on to a stainless steel cooktop. Should this happen, wipe up any spillages containing salt immediately, otherwise discoloration could occur.

Do not use the control panel as a

resting place for pots and pans.

Warning and Safety Instructions

Warning and Safety instructions

When using a cooker hood over

the gas cooktop, ensure that any burners in use are always covered with a pan. Otherwise flames could be drawn up by the suction of the cooker hood, parts of which could then be damaged. Fat residues in the filter could catch fire.

Do not use the gas cooktop to heat

up the room. The high temperatures of the cooktop could cause inflammable objects in the vicinity to burn.

Spray canisters, aerosols or in-

flammable substances must not be stored in the drawer beneath the cooktop. Any cutlery trays must be made of a heat resistant material.

Before removing pots and pans,

be sure to turn the surface unit to “OFF”.

Always heat fat slowly, watching as

it heats.

When frying foods, make sure that

the food is as dry as possible so as to prevent moisture from causing hot fat to bubble over.

not overfill the pan with oil.

Do not use spray aerosols in the

vicinity of the appliance while it is in operation.

Under no circumstance use a

steam-cleaning appliance to clean the gas cooktop. The steam could penetrate to live components and cause a short circuit.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by noncompliance with safety instructions.

Burner

Before using for the first time, take heed of the “Warning and Safety Instructions”.

Burner control

The inner and outer burner are both controlled by one knob.

The burner control knob may only be turned counter-clockwise and back in a clockwise direction. Otherwise the control could be damaged.

/ Simmer setting (inner ring on low,

outer ring off)

The gas flame is lit by electrical ignition. When the burner control is pressed in the strong flame position, a spark passes from the electrode to the burner and ignites the gas to give a flame (see page 11).

The burner is equipped with an ignition safety device. If a gas flame goes out, for example, if food boiled over, or if there was a sudden draft, the ignition safety control cuts off the supply of gas in a maximum of 90 seconds.

Instructions for using the gas burner

The flame strength can be selected:

X Gas switched off

Strong flame (outer and inner rings

both produce high flames)

& Low flame (outer ring on low,

inner ring on high)

& Intermediate state b (provides

ignition for outer ring from inner ring) Very low flame (inner ring on high,

outer ring off)

Place the wok or the pan on the wok/pan support.

A trivet is supplied with the gas cooktop. It is designed to sit on the wok/ pan support when using small pans. The trivet should only be used on the burner with a simmer setting. It should only be used with pans with a diameter of less than 4" (10 cm).

Burner

Press in the control knob and turn counter-clockwise to the high setting (largest flame symbol).

When the flame ignites, keep the button pressed in for 5-10 seconds, and then press down once more firmly before letting go.

If the flame goes out, repeat the procedure, keeping the control knob pressed in for a few extra seconds.

To turn the heat down from the highest to the lowest setting, turn the control counter-clockwise until it stops (low flame position), press and continue to turn the control to the desired setting.

To turn the heat up from the lowest to the highest setting, turn the control clockwise until it stops (intermediate

& b), press and continue to

stage turn clockwise to the high setting.

To switch the burner off, turn the control knob in a clockwise direction to

l“ position. The flame will go out.

the “

Power cut

If there is an interruption to the electrical supply, the gas can be ignited with a match.

Light a match, press in the burner control and turn counter-clockwise to the highest setting (large flame).

If, after several attempts the gas still does not burn, check whether the lug of the large burner cap is correctly positioned in the notch in the large burner cap base and whether the lug of the large burner cap base is correctly positioned in the notch in the burner base.

Turn the control knob to the highest setting for boiling or searing food, the lower setting for continuing cooking and for keeping food warm.

Turn the control knob down to a lower setting in good time in order to prevent food from boiling over or burning.

With the control knob pressed in, ignite the gas at the burner with a match.

Keep the control knob pressed in for a further 5-10 seconds, and then press firmly down once again before letting go.

Important:

Only woks/pans with a max. diameter of 280 mm (11") should be used on the gas cooktop.

If woks/pans have a larger diameter, the flame may spread out to the sides of the wok or the pan and damage or burn the countertop or surrounding units.

Burner

Ensure that there is a minimum distance of 5/8" (15 mm) between the wok or the pan and the control panel.

Burner

Thick bases lessen the risk of food

overheating in places, as better distribution of heat is possible.

Never place a pan on the control panel.

The outer part of the gas flame is much hotter than the center. Therefore the tips of the flame should be in contact with the base of the pan and not spread out to the sides. Flames which spread out to the sides of the pan merely warm up the air in the room.

Suitable woks, pots and pans

Material

Most woks and pans can be used for cooking on gas.

Wok / Pan base

Bases do not need to be even for gas cooking, in contrast to those used on electric burners. Through the spreading action of the flame, heat reaches all parts of the base.

Shape of woks, pots and pans

Using a small one on the strong flame does not mean faster cooking but simply results in wasteful gas consumption. The correct procedure is to cook with small pots on the low flame and large ones on the strong flame.

small pots = low flame large pots = strong flame

Wide, flat pots are more suitable than narrow, tall ones, since they heat up more quickly.

Lids

Thin bases conduct heat to the food in-

side more quickly than thicker ones. Since heat is not evenly distributed over the pan base, there is a danger that food may be overheated in places. Therefore, when using saucepans with thin bases, stir the food more often.

Less heat is lost by cooking in a covered pot.

Cleaning and care

In the event of a pan boiling over, clean the burner and the cooktop surface immediately, to prevent the boiled over substance from burning on.

Burner

The burner can be dismantled for cleaning when cold.

Burner caps

The burner caps can be cleaned with a solution of dishwashing liquid.

Do not use any caustic cleaners, scouring powders, knives or hard brushes, as these will cause scratches.

With time and use, the surface of the burner caps will become dull.

Electronic ignition

The ignition device electrodes on the burner must always be dry, otherwise they will not spark.

Important: The burner must be correctly fitted together before it is lit, otherwise the ignition device could be damaged.

When fitting the large burner cap base to the burner base, ensure that the locating lug fits exactly into the appropriate notch.

Place the burner ring onto the large burner cap base.

From time to time, the electrodes should be wiped with a well wrung-out cloth and wiped dry with a clean cloth.

Important: Do not damage the ignition electrodes and the thermo element.

Place the large burner cap onto the large burner cap base, ensuring that the locating lug fits exactly into the appropriate notch.

Cleaning and care

Wok/pan support, trivet

Caution: the wok/pan support and trivet become hot in use.

Cleaning and care

Do not use any scouring agents or pads, knives or hard brushes. These will cause scratching.

The wok/pan support and trivet can be removed for cleaning.

The wok/pan support and trivet can be cleaned in a hot solution of dishwashing liquid.

Never use scouring agents as these could scratch the surface.

Dry with a cloth.

Cooktop surface

Avoid allowing liquids or foods containing salt to spill on to the stainless steel cooktop. Should this happen, wipe up any spillages immediately. Otherwise discoloration could occur.

Remove dust, oils and fats, spillages of foods and condensed water from pots and pans immediately to prevent it from drying on. Dried on food residues are easier to remove if they are first softened with warm water.

Clean the cooktop surface using hot water with a little dishwashing liquid.

Do not use cleaning agents containing acids. A proprietary cleaning agent for stainless steel can be used on the stainless steel cooktop surface.

Control panel / Control knob

Do not use any scouring agents or pads on the knob or control panel, as these could cause damage.

Clean the control knob and the control panel with hot water and a little dishwashing liquid. After application, rub dry with a clean cloth.

Under no circumstances use a steam-cleaning appliance to clean the gas cooktop. The steam could penetrate to live components and cause a short circuit.

With kitchen cabinetry, the following minimum dimensions must be kept: – a distance of 10" (250 mm) from adjacent units if they are susceptible to heat, otherwise some form of insulation must be installed. – a distance of 30" (76 cm) between the cooktop and any wall cabinet installed above it. – a distance of 26" (65 cm) between the cooktop and cooker hood, or more if building regulations require.

All backsplashes must be of heat resistant material. With all kitchen cabinet suppliers, please comply with their recommendations for distances.

If a drawer or shelf is installed underneath the cooktop unit, ensure that there is a distance of at least 3" (80 mm) between the base of the cooktop unit and the upper edge of the drawer or shelf. Ensure that nothing rubs the gas pipe when drawer, cabinet door, etc. are moved.
