Our policy is one of continuous development and improvement. Specifications and illustrations may change subsequent to publication.
Provision of Ventilation The use of a gas cooking appliance results in a production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present. The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in accordance with local and national/European standards.
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.
Use only the Gas Pressures specified
This appliance MUST be earthed
The burners on the appliance have fixed aeration and no adjustment is required. 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.
The burners are controlled individually and each is monitored by a thermocouple probe. In the event the burner flames are accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute
protection film, ie plastic coating. Clean all surfaces with hot soapy water to remove any residual protective covering of oil and rinse

ou prime and then season it.
GAS BURNERS (1) Ensure gas supply is connected and turned on. (2) Push in the control knob and turn
anticlockwise to full rate – large flame ( ). (3) Continue holding the knob depressed whilst the automatic ignition lights the burner. (4) After the burner is lit continue depressing the knob for approximately 10 - 15 seconds. (5) Release knob and turn to required heat setting. (6) If burner has not lit within 15 seconds, release knob and wait at least 1 minute before repeating operations (2) to (5). (7) To turn off, rotate the control knob until the line on the knob is aligned with dot on the control panel.
Always make sure the control knob is in the off position when you have finished using the hotplate burners.
ELECTRIC HOTPLATE (1) Ensure the electricity is switched on. (2) The hotplate control is numbered from 1 (Low) to 6
(High). To turn it on, rotate the knob either clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required position. (3) To turn the hotplate off, rotate the knob until the line or pointer on the knob lines up with the zero on the control panel.
The hotplate is a sealed construction and transfers heat through conduction. For maximum efficiency use the correct size pan with a flat heavy gauge base. The pan size should be the same or slightly larger than the hotplate (up to 1” / 2.5 cm oversize).
Before using your hotplate for the first time, we recommend that y
To prime the hotplate:-
Switch on the hotplate for a short period, without a pan, to harden and burn off the coating. Use a medium to high setting for 3 – 5 minutes. A non toxic smoke may occur during this process. Allow it to cool, then season.
To season the hotplate:-
Heat the hotplate for 30 seconds on a medium setting, then switch off. Pour a minimal amount of unsalted vegetable oil onto a clean dry cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface. Wipe off any excess oil, then heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute. Occasional seasoning will help to maintain the appearance.
Avoid old or misshapen pans as these may cause instability.
Recommended pan sizes for Hob models:­3 Burner – 1 x Ø240mm & 2 x Ø200mm 4 Burner – 4 x Ø200mm OR – 1 x Ø220mm & 2 x Ø200mm & 1 x Ø180mm
Using larger pans may reduce performance or cause damage
The lid must be opened fully prior to using the hotplate burners.

DO'S AND DON'TS
WARNING
When
handling or
remov
ing the hob
from the worktop
we recommend the
DO Read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for the
first time.
DO Allow the burners 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 Check that controls are in the off position when finished. DO NOT Allow children near the appliance 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 base of the hotplate. DO NOT Use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surfaces of the hotplate. DO NOT Under any circumstances use the appliance as a space heater.
When cooking, young children should be kept away.
Turn off all burners before shutting the lid.
Take care when closing the lid as the travel lock action of the
hinges activates towards the end of lowering the lid.
Remove all spillage on surface of the glass lid before opening.
LEAKS
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape. Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air; any gas escaping will therefore collect at low level. The strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be detected. Check that the gas is not escaping from an unlit appliance. Never check for leaks with a naked flame; leak investigation should be carried out using a leak detector spray.
This appliance needs little maintenance other than cleaning. All parts should be cleaned using warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or cleansing powders. When cleaning the burner ring it is essential to ensure that the holes do not become blocked. The control knobs are a push fit and can be removed for cleaning. They are interchangeable without affecting the sense of operation.
All servicing must be carried out by an approved competent person. After each service the appliance must be checked for gas soundness. If servicing requires removal of the appliance:- (1) Turn off gas, 12volt power supply and 240 volt supply if Dual Fuel model. (2) Disconnect appliance from gas and 240volt supply if Dual Fuel model. (3) Disconnect the spark generator 12v supply. (4) Release and remove the worktop clamps below the hob. (5) Carefully lift out the appliance from the worktop and place on a suitable surface.

REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS
In your own interest of safety, it is law that all gas appliances are installed and serviced by an approved competent person, in accordance with the local and National/European standards in force Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims and lead to prosecution. Particular attention shall be given to the requirements regarding ventilation. Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.
VENTILATION
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. The European Standard EN1949 - "Specification for the installation of LPG systems in leisure and other road vehicles", specifies appliances be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, including the adequate provision to avoid the accumulation of un­burnt gases. We recommend a floor vent, venting to the outside, with minimum size 130mm2, maximum 2000mm2, which should be baffled to prevent direct draughts to the appliance.
LOCATION OF APPLIANCE
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.
POSITION
The performance of this appliance meets the requirements of the European Standard for Domestic Cooking Appliances (EN30) which specifies a maximum allowable temperature rise of the furniture into which the appliance is installed of 65oC above the ambient temperature.
We recommend the installation follows the minimum dimensions shown in this manual as any deviation could result in excessive temperature rise. If minimum dimensions must be reduced, due to design constraints, a temperature rise test of all furniture fitted around the unit MUST be performed. The design is deemed permissible providing the results of this test comply with all standards in force and the requirements detailed within the furniture manufacturer’s material specification.
A cutout should be prepared as shown in Fig 1. The location of the cutout MUST comply with Fig. 2 after the hob is installed – ie a direct distance of 200mm must exist between the edge of the burner and combustible material unless protected by a layer of non-combustible material. The appliance should be fixed in place using the supplied clamps as shown in Fig. 2.
For models with a glass lid, the distance from the edge of the burner to the rear wall can be reduced to 110mm.
All combustible materials such as curtains and shelves must be kept well clear of the appliance. Any fitments such as a cupboard above the appliance must have a minimum clearance of 510mm between the fitment and the top of the pan support – see Fig. 2.
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.
