+ (28-30/37) CAT I3 B/P (30)
BUTANE (G30) 28-30 mbar BUTANE (G30) 30 mbar
PROPANE (G31) 37 mbar PROPANE (G31) 30 mbar

POSITION
This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion, and in a manner
that will prevent the accumulation of unburnt gas. When in use ensure that air vents are not inadvertently
blocked or shut off.

OPERATION

Ensure the gas cylinder is turned on.
In the event of a gas smell turn off at the cylinder and contact supplier.

Hotplate Burners
Each burner is controlled individually and is monitored by a flame supervision device. In the event of the
burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the
burner for at least one minute. The respective knob positions are below.

To light the burner, press in and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the full rate position and apply a light to the
burner or press the ignition button if fitted. It is necessary to hold the knob depressed during ignition and for
approximately fifteen seconds after the burner has lit to allow the probe to reach temperature. Should the
flame go out when the knob is released, the procedure should be repeated holding the knob depressed for
slightly longer.
For simmering, turn the knob further anticlockwise to the low rate position. To turn the burner off, rotate
knob fully clockwise until the line on the knob lines up with the dot on the control panel. The burners on this
appliance have fixed aeration and no adjustment is required. Depending on the gas being used, the
burners should flame as follows:-

Propane - The flames should burn quietly with a blue/green colour with no sign of yellow tips.
Butane - Normally on initial lighting, a small amount of yellow tipping will occur and then slightly

increases as the burner heats up.

Although each burner will support pans from 10 to 22cm, care should be taken not to overload the
appliance as reduced performance may result.

Where the appliance is mounted on gimbals, there must be a minimum space of 50mm behind the
appliance.
However, we recommend a space of 205mm behind the appliance, allowing a 30° swing when in use at
sea. The gimbals should be securely fixed to a substantial surrounding structure as shown below.

FITTING THE COOKER

1. Remove the two screws
towards the rear top of the
cooker.(A)

2. Replace the two screws

with the holes in the grill
compartment base, then simply
push the cradle into the holes.
The cradle is fitted in this way
to enable easy access to clean
the grill compartment base.

GAS CONNECTION
The connection is made to an 8mm OD inlet pipe on the underside of the hotplate top. It is recommended
that the cooker be connected by copper tubing using a compression fitting. Rubber tubing must NOT be
used.

After installation the appliance must be tested for soundness.
SERVICING

INSTALLATION

In your own interest of safety, it is law that all gas appliances be installed by competent persons. CORGI
(Confederation for the Registration of Gas Installers) registered installers undertake to work to safe and
satisfactory standards. Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability
claims and lead to prosecution. This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the local and
national/European standards in force. Particular attention shall be given to the requirements regarding
ventilation. Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.

LOCATION OF COOKER

This appliance maybe installed in a kitchen/kitchen diner but NOT in a room containing a bath or a shower.
LP gas appliances must not be fitted below ground level. e.g. in a basement.

VENTILATION

This appliance must be installed according to the relevant local and national/European standards in force.
This appliance is suitable for installation into Holiday Homes, Touring Caravans and Boats. In all cases the
national standards with regard to ventilation for the particular vehicle into which the appliance is to be
installed must be adhered to.

POSITION
A horizontal difference of 200mm must exist between the edge of the appliance burners and combustible
material unless protected by a layer of non-combustible material. All combustible materials such as
curtains and shelves must be kept well clear of the appliance. Any fitments such as a cupboard above the
cooker must have a minimum clearance of 500mm between the fitment and the top of the pan support.
This cooker is designed for use in a marine environment and can be used as either a free-standing
appliance or can be mounted on built in gimbals. Used in its free-standing state, the appliance must be
placed on a firm, flat and stable structure and secured using a fixing kit.

This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion, and in a manner
that will prevent the accumulation of unburnt gas. When in use ensure that air vents are not inadvertently
blocked or shut off.

When using small pans, the flames should not spread beyond the base of the pan as this will reduce the
efficiency of the burner.

Grill
Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used! Young children should be kept away.
Although the grill does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a few minutes preheat be allowed. The grill
pan should be left in position to protect the base lining. The grill is fitted with a flame supervision device, so
if for any reason the flame goes out, the gas supply to the grill burner will be shut off. In the event of the
burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the
burner for at least one minute. It is normal for the flames on this burner to develop yellow tips as it heats
up, particularly on Butane. The grill pan trivet can be reversed to give a choice of grilling height.

Oven

1. Ensure gas cylinder is connected and turned on . In the event of a gas smell turn off at gas cylinder

and contact supplier.

2. Remove all accessories and packing that may be in the oven and clean the interior before using it f or

the first time. Use soap water and rinse carefully.

3. To light: Open door, push in the control knob and turn to gas mark 9. Hold a lighted match or taper to

the burner and push the control knob in and hold. The burner should ignite and the control knob
should be held in for 10 -15 seconds before release. If the burner goes out, re pe at pro ce dure holding
control knob for slightly longer.

4. For models fitted with Spark Ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be ignited by

depressing the ignition button which is located on the fascia. Ignition must be carried out with the door
open, and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds the control knob should be released and the oven
left for at least 1 minute before a further attempt to ignite the burner.

5. Place the oven shelf in the required position and close the door. Set control knob to approximately

gas mark 5 and heat the oven for about 30 minutes to eliminate any residual factory lubricants that
might impart unpleasant smells to the meals being cooked.

6. To turn off: turn the control knob until the dot on the control knob is aligned with the dot on the control

panel.

7. Flame Failure Device (FFD): the oven burner is fitted with a flame sensing probe which will

automatically cut off the gas supply in the event of the flame going out.

8. Oven shelf: the oven shelf has been designed to allow good circulation at the rear of the oven and are

also fitted with a raised bar to prevent trays or dishes making contact with the back of the oven. To
remove a shelf, pull forward until i t stops, raise at front and remove.

9. Oven door restraint: The restraint consists of a piece of wire that holds the door shut when

the boat is in motion. To open the oven door, lift the restraint up, out of the way and open the
door.

DO'S AND DON'TS

DO read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time.
DO allow the oven to heat before using for the first time, in order to expel any smells before the

introduction of food.
DO clean the appliance regularly.
DO remove spills as soon as they occur.
DO always use oven gloves when removing food shelves and trays from the oven.
DO check that controls are in the off position when finished.
DO NOT allow children near the cooker when in use. Turn pan handles away from the front so that

they cannot be caught accidentally.
DO NOT allow fats or oils to build up in the oven trays or base.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surfaces of the hotplate and oven.
DO NOT under any circumstances use the oven as a space heater.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The temperature in the oven is controlled by a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over the range 130°C to
240°C. Approximate temperatures for the settings on the control knob are shown in the table below. The
temperatures indicated refer to the centre of the oven and at any particular setting the oven will be hotter at
the top and cooler towards the base. The variation between top and centre, and centre to bottom is
approximately equivalent to one gas mark. Good use can be made of the temperature variation in several
dishes requiring different temperatures may be cooked at the same time. In this way maximum benefit can
be obtained from the gas used to heat the oven. Care should be taken not to overload the oven, adequate
spacing being used to allow free circulation for heat.

COOKING GUIDELINES

The baking tray and roasting tin provided are the largest that should be used in this size oven. Larger items
may well effect the circulation and heat distribution. Best results will be obtained by the shelf positions in
this guide. It is not necessary to preheat the oven but advisable for a range of dishes. The oven is capable
of full temperature in 15-20 minutes.
Most cookery books give details of the shelf positions and gas mark settings for each recipe. If in doubt
about a recipe you intend to use, study the recipe carefully then find a similar dish in our guide and use our
shelf position and gas mark setting recommendation. Shelf positio ns ar e from the top do wn. When roasting
with aluminium foil care must be taken that the foil does not impair circulation or block the oven flue outlet.

LEAKS

If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder

IMMEDIATELY.
Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pip es. Do not op er ate electrical switches. Open all doors
and windows to disperse any gas escape. Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air; any escaping gas will
therefore will collect at a low level. The strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the ge ne ral area of the
leak to be detected. Check that the gas is not escaping from an unlighted appliance. Never check for leaks
with a naked flame, leak investigation should be carried out using a leak detector spray or soapy solution.

MAINTENANCE

This appliance needs little maintenance other than cleaning. All parts should be cleaned using warm soapy
water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel woo; or cleansing powders. When cleaning the burner ring it is
essential to ensure that the holes do not become blocked. The control knobs are push fit and can be
removed for cleaning. They are interchangeable without affecting the sense of operation.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE MODIFIED OR ADJUSTED UNLESS AUTHORISED AND CARRIED
OUT BY THE MANUFACTURER OR HIS REPRESENTATIVE. NO PARTS OTHER THAN THOSE
SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE USED ON THIS APPLIANCE.
