During the planning stage, consider the position of supply
connections.
The cooktop must be connected to the gas supply with
upstream connection of an isolation valve in accordance
with the respectively valid regulations. We recommend
that the isolation valve be fitted prior to the cooktop to
enable isolation of cooktop from gas supply. The valve
must be easily accessible at all times.
To find out the factory set gas type, see bottom of
Fig. 5 Fig. 6
cooktop next to gas connection.
Remove plastic cap from gas supply line prior to
installation.
Fit regulator (N.G.) or a test point (Propane gas) directly
to the R 1/2’’ connection as per Fig. 5. and Fig. 6.
Direction of gas flow is indicated on the rear of the
regulator.
For position of the inlet connection refer Fig.1.
Use pipe compound or thread sealant, properly theaded
pipes and careful assembly procedure so that there is no
cross threading, etc., which might cause damage or
leakage.
Make sure that all connections peformed are free of
leakage.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for
leakage on connections performed by the installer or if
the L-tube is moved or twisted.
There are two ways to carry out the connection to the
main gas line:
A. The hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe as
specified in AS/NZS 5601.1
B. Flexible Hose: If installing with a hose assembly, install
with a hose assembly that complies with AS/NZS 1869
(AGA Approved), 10 mm ID, class Bor D, no more than
1,2 m long and in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1.
Ensure that the hose does not contact the hot surfaces of
the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or any other appliance
that may be installed underneath or next to the hotplate.
The hose should not be subjected to abrasion, kinking or
permanent deformation and should be able to be
inspected along its entire length with the cooktop in the
installed position. Unions compatible with the hose
fittings must be used and all connections tested for gas
leaks.
The supply connection point shall be accessible with the
appliance installed.
13
WARNING: Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained
from accidental contact with the flue outlet of an
underbench oven.
Before Leaving- Check all connections for gas leaks with
soap and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting
leaks. Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently
to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and
ignition. Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe
stability of the flame for each burner individually and all
together. Adhere the duplicate data plate to an
accessible location near the hotplate. When satisfied with
the hotplate, please instruct the user on the correct
method of operation. In case the appliance fails to
operate correctly after all checks have been carried out,
refer to the authorised service provider in your area.
It should be expressly noted that we cannot accept any
liability for direct or indirect damage caused by wrong
connection, leakage or improper installation. When being
repaired, the appliance must always be disconnected
from the mains supply; if required, notify our customer
service.

Switching on automatically
20
If your cooktop can be switched on automatically (ignition
sparkers):
1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the maximum power setting.
While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are
produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer
necessary to press down the control knob).
2. Turn the control knob to the required setting.
If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off
setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and
hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds).
Warning! If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite,
switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door.
Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner
on.
Safety system Depending on the model, your cooktop may have a
Thermocouple
Ignition sparker

safety system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of
gas if the burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that
this device is active, switch on the burner as usual and,
without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame. Fig. 22.
Switching off a burner Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.

Warnings It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours; this does not pose any risk and does not indicate
a malfunction; they will disappear in time.
A few seconds after switching off the burner, it will make
a sound (thud). This is not a fault - this means that the
safety device is no longer operating.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition
sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them
periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind
that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious
impacts.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
The kitchen will become hot and humid when this gas
appliance is used.
You must therefore ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated:
either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or
install a ventilation system (extractor hood).
If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods,
you may require additional ventilation (e.g. by opening a
window) or more effective ventilation (e.g. by increasing
the cooktop's ventilation, if possible).
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off
the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight
it for at least one minute.
22
Use “Large flame” setting to bring the pan to the boil,
then adjust the flame between “Large flame” and
“Economy flame” to maintain the required pan
temperature.
Important:
The use of a cooktop leads to the production of heat and
moisture in the kitchen. For this reason make sure that
the room is properly ventilated. Keep natural ventilation
openings, such as windows, open or provide a
mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a range hood or
overhead exhaust fan). An orangy flame is normal and
simply indicates the presence of salt in the atmosphere
(from cooking). If the flame has yellow patches, this is not
a fault (of any kind).

Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save energy
and prevent pan damage:
Use pans which are the right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame
should not touch the sides of the pan.
Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on
the cooktop. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick, flat base.
Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is
properly fitted to avoid wasting energy.
Always place the pan right over the burner, not to one
side. Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on the burners near the control
knobs. These may be damaged by the very high
temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on
the burner.
Pans should be placed on the cooktop carefully.
Do not strike the cooktop and do not place excessive
weight on it.
Make sure that the pan supports and burner covers are
correctly positioned before using the appliance.
25
Cleaning and
maintenance
Cleaning Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with
Unsuitable products Never slide pans across the glass surface, as you may
Maintenance Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will
soap and water.
After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner
parts once they have cooled down. If any bits are left
(overcooked food, drops of grease etc.), however few,
they will become stuck to the surface and more difficult
to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for
the flame to ignite properly.
The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on
the pan supports.
Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water
and scrub with a non-wire brush.
If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that
these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and
the pan support may scratch the cooktop.
Always dry the burners and pan supports completely.
Water droplets or damp patches on the cooktop at the
start of cooking may damage the enamel.
After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the
burner covers are correctly placed on the burner flame
diffuser.
scratch it. In addition, try not to drop heavy or sharp
objects on the glass. Never strike any part of the cooktop.
Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the
cooktop.
Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp
implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food
from the cooktop.
If your cooktop is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel,
never use a knife, scraper or similar to clean the point
where it joins the metal.
Do not use knives, scrapers or similar implements to
clean the point where the glass meets the burner trims,
the metal frames or the glass/aluminium panels, if fitted.
save yourself any unnecessary effort.
Grains of sand that may come from cleaning fruits and
vegetables will scratch the glass surface.
Melted sugar, or foods which contain a lot of sugar which
may have spilt, should be cleaned off the hotplate
immediately, using the glass scraper.
