Caution: This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other purposes, for example room heating.
Caution: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially when the appliance is in use. 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 of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
Fire Safety Advice
Most kitchen res occur when people are
distracted or leave things unattended, so remember:
If you’re called away from the cooker - by the phone or someone at the door, either take pans off the heat, or switch off your hob.
Don’t let yourself be distracted while cooking.
If you do have a re in the kitchen, don’t
take any risks - get everyone out of your home and call the Fire Brigade.
Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in a
re. NEVER try to extinguish a re with
water, but switch off the appliance and
then cover ame e.g. with a lid or a re
blanket.
WARNING - If a pan catches re:
Do not move it - it is likely to be extremely hot
Turn off the heat if it’s safe to do so
- but never lean over a pan to reach the controls.
If you have a re blanket, put it over the pan.
If you have put the re out, leave the pan to cool completely.
Deep-fat frying presents more dangers in your kitchen.
Never ll a chip pan (or other deep­fat fryer) more than one-third full of
oil
Do not use a re extinguisher on a pan of oil - the force of the
extinguisher can spread the re and create a reball.
If you have an electrical re in the
kitchen:
Pull the plug out, or switch off the power at the fuse box - this may be
enough to stop the re immediately
Smother the re with a re blanket, or use a dry powder or carbon dioxide extinguisher
Never use water on an electrical or
cooking oil re.

Ignition
Auto ignition (if tted):
Push in and hold down the control knob, and turn to the full on position (large
ame symbol). Keep the knob depressed
after the burner has lit for up to 15 sec-
onds to allow the ame to establish. Turn
the control knob to the desired setting.
Manual ignition (if tted):
Push in & hold down the control knob turning to the full on position (large ame symbol) & press the ignition but­ton until the gas lights. Keep the control knob depressed after the burner has lit
for up to 15 seconds to allow the ame
to establish. Turn the control knob to the desired setting.
In the event of the burner ames being
accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re­ignite the burner for at least 1 minute.
Reduced rate
Turn the control knob to the small
ame symbol.
To switch off
To switch off a hob burner, turn the con-
trol knob clockwise to the “off” position.
If the ignition fails
1. Make sure all the controls are in
the “off” position, and check there
is a spark at the back of the burner when you depress the control knob or press the ignition button.
2. Gas check - check there is gas to the appliance by lighting a burner with a lighted match.
3. Electrical check-if no spark renew the 3 ampfuse in the fused spur.
4. Check burner caps are tted cor- rectly.
Using the hob
Adjust the burner ame so that it does
not extend over the pan base.
Pans
Use pans with a at base of mini­mum 120mm / 4 ins diameter and maximum 250mm / 10 ins diameter which are stable in use.
Do not use double pans, rim based pans, old misshapen pans or any pan which is unstable when placed
on a at surface.
Position pans over the centre of the burners, resting on the pan
supports. If positioned off centre, smaller pans may be unstable.
Do not let pans overhang the control knobs, as this may overheat and damage them.
Always use pans which are large enough to prevent spillage, espe­cially for deep frying.
Turn pan handles to a safe position, so they are out of reach of children, not overhanging the appliance, and cannot be caught accidentally.
Do not use griddle plates on this ap­pliance, as this may be hazardous.
Material and size of pan, as well as quantity and type of food to be cooked, can affect cooking times.
Commercial simmering aids should not be used as they create excessive temperatures that can damage the surface and may cause a hazard.
Pan supports
Always make sure the pan supports are replaced correctly, located in the hob spillage well, and that all rubber feet are in place, to prevent instability. The hob must only be operated when both pan supports are correctly posi­tioned.
To save gas
Always position pans centrally over the burner.
Use the size of pan most suited to the size of the burner - ie; larger pans on the rear burners, smaller pans on the front burners.
Adjust the ames so that they do not lick up the sides of the pan.
Put lids on saucepans and only heat the amount of liquid you need.
When liquids boil, reduce the control setting to maintain a simmer.
Consider the use of a pressure cooker for the cooking of a complete meal.
Potatoes and vegetables will cook quicker if chopped into smaller pieces.
Note
Extra care should be taken when cooking food in salted water. Some foods are corrosive - eg; vinegar, fruit juices and especially salt - they can mark or dam­age stainless steel if they are left on the surface. Turn off and wipe any spillage immediately, taking care to avoid skin contact with any hot surface or spillage.
Care & Cleaning
CAUTION: Any cleaning agent
used incorrectly may damage the hob.
Always let the hob cool before cleaning.
Some cooking operations generate a considerable amount of grease. This, combined with spillage, can become a hazard if allowed to accumulate on the hob through lack of cleaning. In extreme cases this may amount to misuse of the appliance & could invalidate your guarantee. Do not use caustic, corrosive or abrasive cleaning products, coarse wire wool or any hard implements, as they will dam­age the surfaces. All parts of the hob can be safely cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water.
Burner caps and heads
Important: Allow burners to cool before
cleaning.
CAUTION: Hotplate burn­ers can be damaged by soak­ing, automatic dishwashers (or
dishwasher powders / liquids),
caustic pastes, hard implements, coarse wire wool, and abrasive cleaning pastes.
Clean with a moist soapy pad.
For the burners to work safely, the slots
in the burner head where the ames
burn need to be kept clear of deposit. Clean with a nylon brush, rinse, & dry thoroughly.
Any brownish coloured marks on the burners are carbon deposits or fat stains, which can be removed by gently rubbing with a soapy pad.
Important: The burner caps and heads must be repositioned correctly so that they sit squarely onto the hob as shown below.
This is particularly important with stain­less steel models as failure to reposition the caps correctly may result in discolou-
ration of the stainless steel around the burners.
Control knobs
Only use hot soapy water. When cleaning the fascia area, care must be taken on symbols / arkings. Control knobs can be removed for clean­ing, but take care to ensure that they are repositioned correctly after cleaning.
Vitreous enamel surfaces
HOB SPILLAGE WELL (enamel hobs), PAN SUPPORTS (if tted)
Use a mild cream cleaner.
Stainless Steel hob
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth. Stubborn marks can be removed using
“Luneta”. We recommend that you clean
the whole of the stainless steel area to
maintain a uniform nish. Supplies can
be purchased from the Customer Care Centre. Do not use undiluted bleach or any products containing chlorides as they can permanently damage the steel. Extra care should be taken when cooking food in salted water. Some foods are corrosive - eg; vinegar, fruit juices and especially salt - they can mark or dam­age stainless steel if they are left on the surface. Turn off and wipe any spillage immediately, taking care to avoid skin contact with any hot surface or spillage. Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but marks will become less noticeable with time.
To maintain the nish of stainless steel,
or to remove any greasy marks, wipe the stainless steel surface sparingly with a minimum amount of Baby Oil and kitchen paper. Do not use cooking oils, as these may contain salt, which can damage the stainless steel surface.
Please note: Do not steam clean any parts of the hob.
Cast iron pansupports (if t­ted)
After cooking allow the pansupports to cool completely before attempting to remove or clean. Before cleaning, remove any excess fat with kitchen paper. The pan supports can be cleaned with hot soapy water and a nylon brush. If any food residue is left on them leave them to soak for a few minutes in hot soapy water before attempting to clean it. Do not use caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders, coarse wire wool or any hard implements, as they will damage the surface. Do not clean in a dishwasher.

Ventilation Requirements
The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with BS5440: Part 2
All rooms require an openable window, or equivalent, and some rooms will require a permanent vent as well.
For room volumes up to 5m3 an air vent of 100cm2 is required.
If the room has a door that opens directly to the outside, or the room exceeds 10m3 NO AIR VENT is required.
For room volumes between 5m3 and 10m3 an air vent of 50cm2 is required.
If there are other fuel burning appli­ances in the same room, BS 5440: Part 2: should be consulted to deter­mine the air vent requirements.
This appliance must not be installed in a bed sitting room of less than 20m3 or in a bathroom or shower room.
Windows and permanent vents should therefore not be blocked or
removed without rst consulting a
compenent engineer.
LP Gas only - Do not install this
appliance in a room below ground level. This does not preclude nstallation into rooms which are basements with re­spect to one side of the building but open to ground level on the opposite side. For installation into environments other than domestic dwellings, e.g. caravans, boats and similar - refer to the relevant standards on ventilation and gas supply.
Failure to install appliances correctly is dangerous & could lead to prosecution.
Important Information
It is important when installing gas hobs, that the work top cut out is the same as is quoted
in this installation manual. If the cut out is too large, then battens must be tted to the front, rear and sides - to correct the discrepancy and ensure the correct t. Please ensure that if battens are tted they are level with the top surface of the work top. Please ensure
that the seal for the hob has full contact with the work top surface.
There are two ways to install the clamps, depending on the thickness of the work top, please measure the thickness of your work top and ensure that the correct method is used. Both methods are detailed in the instal-
lation manual.
Failure to follow these instructions can lead to exessive force being applied to the base­tray, which results in the clearence between the control knob and the hob top pressing
being reduced. This can effect the operation of the gas control, and the ignition.
SPECIFIED DIMENSION WITH BATTENS
EXISTING DIMENSION WITHOUT BATTENS
BASE TRAY
Front control 485mm Side control 490mm
Fit the hob into the cutout & secure to worktop
Place the hob into the cutout and secure in place using the four brackets and screws provided.
The brackets should be orientated to suit the worktop thickness as shown, then inserted into the four slots (two on
the front edge and two on the rear) and
screwed into the underside of the work­top using the woodscrews provided
The screws should be tightened just suf-
ciently to secure the hob and pull the top pressing ush with the worktop.
If the base of the hob is accessible after
installation then a partition must be tted
20mm below the base to prevent access.
Installation advice - cabinetry
Dealing with sides, cross-rails and back-panels in cabinetry Depending on the cabinets, the worktop thickness
and the hob positioning, it is possible for the hob base, the clamp brackets and/or the gas connection to interfere with parts of the cabinet. These can be dealt with as
follows:
Cabinet sides
If the hob is to be installed across the top of two cabinet housing units, then the base of the hob may interfere with the sides of these units. It will be neces­sary to cut away the top of the unit sides locally to clear the hob, clamp
brackets and/or gas connection.
Cross-Rails
1. Interference with hob base. If there are any cross-rails which obstruct the hob base by running across the worktop cutout, they can simply be removed or locally cutaway to allow the hob to be in­stalled, depending on the particular
installation. Any modications must
ensure that the strength of the cabi­net is maintained.
2. Interference with clamp brackets. If there are any cross-rails which prevent the clamps from being positioned on the front or rear edges of the hob, then they can be removed or locally cut-away around the brackets to allow the brackets to be installed.
Any modications must ensure that the
strength of the cabinet is maintained.
Back-panel
1. Interference with clamp brackets. If the cabinet has a back-panel which prevents the clamps from being positioned on the rear edge of the hob, then this panel can be com-
pletely removed or locally cutaway to allow the brackets to be installed.
2. Interference or restriction of gas connection. If the cabinet has a back-panel which interferes with the position of the gas supply to the hob, then the panel can be completely removed or locally cut-away to allow connection to the gas supply.
Alternative clamp positions
If the front and rear clamp positions are problematic, alternative positions can be used on the sides of the hob, dependant on the particular installation. These positions will require clearance from any cabinet sides and may ef­fect how tightly the hob will meet the worktop.
Stone (Granite or equivalent)
worktops
Depending on the type of worktop being used, there may or may not be any back­ing material to screw the clamp screws into.
1. If the worktop is a composite type
(backed with MDF or similar) there
may be enough backing to screw directly into. This will depend on the worktop thickness and backing thick­ness and will have to be assessed at the installation. In this case, install the hob as for a standard worktop.
2. If there is insufcient backing mate­rial to screw into, or if the worktop is completely solid in construction, then it will be necessary to glue a strip
of wood, MDF, breboard or similar
to the underside of the worktop, along the front and rear edges of the cutout. Use a strong, proprietary adhesive to bond these strips and allow to cure before attempting to clamp the hob into position.
Connect gas hob to gas sup­ply
The inlet is at the rear RHS of the hob. The hob may be connected to the gas
supply either by rigid pipework or exible
connection.
Flexible connections
Use a 900mm - 1125mm length of ex­ible connector. Ensure that the hose is installed hanging reely downwards, is not trapped, is not subjected to undue forces and is not supported at the bottom by a horizontal surface. Natural Gas - Flexible connections should comply with BS669, latest edition.
LP Gas - For exible connections use
a bayonet type hose, suitable for use on LP gas up to 50 mbar pressure rise
and 70°C temperature rise. The exible
hose should be coloured black with a red stripe, band or label. If in doubt, contact your supplier. The installation must ensure that the exible tube cannot come into con­tact with movable parts of the housing
unit (eg; a drawer) and does not pass
through any space susceptible to becom­ing congested.
Make sure the appliance is
gas sound & all components
are operating correctly.
Connect to the electricity supply
This appliance must be connected by a
competent person, using xed wiring via
a double pole switched fused spur outlet, with a contact separation of 3mm at all poles. Connect the mains lead wires to the
terminals: The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N (Neutral) LOAD or coloured black. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L
(Live) LOAD or coloured red.
The green/yellow coloured wire must be connected to the terminal marked E
(Earth) or coloured green.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
The fused spur must be accessible after installation. If the supply cord is damaged, obtain a special cord from the Customer Care
Helpline, which must be tted by a quali­ed person.
Troubleshooting
Before you call Customer Care, please check the following points:
Burner fails to ignite:
Check the electricity supply is on.
Check the fuse.
There is a spark to the burner but it fails to ignite:
Check that the ame holes in the ame spreader are clear of water or
deposits.
Check that the gas supply is turned on.
Smell of gas:
Check that none of the controls have inadvertently been turned on. If all the controls are in the off position, turn off the gas supply & call Cus­tomer Care.
The burner ame appears
uneven:
Check the burner is tted correctly.
Check the ame holes in the ame spreader are clear of water or de­posits.
