Warning and Safety Instructions
Important safety instructions
This appliance complies with all relevant legal safety requirements. Improper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage.
Before installing and using the appliance for the first time, read the
operating instructions carefully.
They give information on safety, on
the operation and care of the appliance. This way you will avoid the
risk of accidents and damage to the
appliance.
Do not let children access the appliance or its controls. Supervise its
use by the elderly or infirm.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future user.
Correct usage
This appliance is intended for do-
mestic use, and in particular to
cook, fry or reheat food. Any other
usage is at the owner’s risk and could
be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage
caused by improper use of the appliance.

It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be tested and where there is

house should be checked out by a
qualified electrician. The manufacturer

Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning and Safety Instructions
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by a suitably
qualified and competent person,e.g.
’Corgi’ registered for gas in G.B.
Repairs and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electrical supply
when it is switched off at the wall
socket, or the mains fuse is withdrawn,
or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable). Do
not pull by the mains cable, but by the
plug when withdrawing the plug from
the socket.
Do not connect the appliance to the
mains electrical supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
Gas burners should only be used
in rooms with adequate ventilation.
Ensure that the worktop area around
the hob is clear of obstacles to allow
sufficient ventilation.
Important notes for the installer
Check that all parts of the burner
unit are correctly assembled before igniting the gas, otherwise the ignition could malfunction.
Please note the following, in cases
where the hob is on LPG supply:
Where this appliance is installed in
marine craft or in caravans, it shall not
be used as a space heater.
When installing the gas hob, the
following minimum dimensions
must be kept:
25 cm distance from any heat-sensitive material or surfaces, otherwise
some form of insulation must be
fitted.
65 cm between the hob and a wall
unit above it.
65 cm between the hob and a
cooker hood above it.
Wall sealing strips and any back-
moulding must be of heat resistant
material.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning and Safety Instructions
Important notes for the user
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.
Make sure that there is a minimum
distance of 15 mm between the
pot or pan and the control panel. Never
place a pot on the control panel.
When using an electric socket
near the hob, care should be taken
that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact
with the gas flames or the hot parts of
the hob.
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 hob unattended
when cooking with oil or fat. Very
hot oil can cause a fire. Always heat fat
slowly, watching as it heats.
Before removing pots and pans,
be sure to turn the control to “OFF”.
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 micro organisms 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. Turn or stir during cooking if
necessary, and check that it is thoroughly cooked.
Never use damp potholders.
Use only suitable cookware. Unsuit-
able cookware may break due to a
sudden temperature change.
Avoid allowing liquids or foods con-
taining salt to spill on to a stainless
steel hob. Should this happen, wipe up
any spillages containing salt immediately, otherwise discoloration could occur.
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.
When shallow or deep frying, do
not overfill the pan with oil.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning and Safety Instructions
When using a cooker hood over the
gas hob, ensure that any burners in
use are always covered with a pan.
Do not flambé under a cooker hood.
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 hob to heat up
the room. The high temperatures of
the hob could cause inflammable objects in the vicinity to burn.
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 hob.
The steam could penetrate to live components and cause a short circuit.
Disposal of discarded appliances
Before disposing of an old ma-
chine / appliance, ensure that disconnection from the gas supply is
made by a suitably competent person.
Switch off at the mains, disconnect and
remove the appliance cable at both
ends and render useless. This is intended to prevent the discarded appliance from being a hazard.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by noncompliance with safety instructions.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee/warranty.
Spray canisters, aerosols or in-
flammable substances must not be
stored in a drawer beneath the hob.
Any cutlery trays must be made of a
heat resistant material.

Gas burner unit
Gas burner unit
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 anti-clockwise to switch
on and back in a clockwise direction to switch off. Otherwise the control could be damaged.
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.
Instructions for using the hob
Place the wok or the pan on the
wok/pan support.
X Gas switched off

both produce high flames)

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