USING YOUR COOKTOP

NOTE: You must read these warnings carefully before installing or using the cooktop. If you need assistance, contact your Customer Care Department.

The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the instructions below or any other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.

installation

•An authorised person must install this appliance and

MUST provide a certificate of compliance. This certificate should be retained along with purchase information.

•Before using the appliance, ensure that all packing materials are removed from the appliance.

•In order to avoid any potential hazard, the installation instructions in this booklet, and any labels on the appliance must be followed.

•Ensure that all specified vents, openings and air spaces are not blocked.

•Where the appliance is built into a benchtop, the benchtop material must be capable of withstanding 85°C.

•Ensure that the duplicate rating label (in the instruction pack) is attached to a readily-accessible adjacent surface, so that the cooktop can be easily identified in the case of a service call.

SERVICING

•Servicing MUST only be carried out by authorised personnel.

•To maintain safe operation, it is recommended that the product be inspected every five years by an authorised service person.

•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised service person in order to avoid a hazard.

CLEANING

•Always ensure the appliance is turned off before cleaning.

•This appliance contains aluminium fittings. Do not use caustic-based cleaners.

•Do not use steam cleaners, as this may cause moisture build up on electrical components.

•Always clean the appliance immediately after any food spillage.

CAUTION

• DO NOT place burners in a dishwasher.

CONTROLS

The markings on the control panel indicate which burner the knob controls, and the settings for that burner. (See Figure 2)

Note: Gas controls turn anticlockwise from ‘Off’ and have limited movement.

LIGHTING BURNERS

Electronic ignition

These cooktops are fitted with mains powered ignition. When the appliance has been connected and the power is on, depressing any knob will release sparks to all burners. To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob and turn to the ‘High’ position (while depressing the knob). The knob may be released once the flame is established.

Flame safeguard models

The knob must be turned to the ‘High’ position,

then pushed down as far as possible for approximately 5 seconds. If the flame goes out when the knob is

released, simply depress the knob again, this time holding it down with slightly more force for the same length of time. The height of the flame can be varied by turning

the control knob toward the ‘Low’ position.

WARNING

•Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.

•If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to ‘Off’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try lighting again.

•Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’ settings only.

In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition directly to the burner with a hand-held ignition source.

Choice of burners

For your convenience there is a choice of burners:

•A small burner for special low heat and slow cooking.

•A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.

(one on 4-burner models and two on 5-burner models).

•A large burner for fast heating and large pots and pans.

•A wok burner for very fast heating using a wok or large pot or pan.

To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the burner and adjust the flame so that it does not extend past the edge of the pan (Figure 3). Do not boil food too rapidly.

A vigorous boil will not cook food any faster, and will waste energy.

CLEANING&CARE

Pots and pans

All common pots and pans: aluminium, stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, etc., may be used on your new gas model cooktop. Ensure that the pots or pans are steady and have flat bases to avoid dangerous spill-over of hot liquids and wasted energy. A wok support has been supplied with this appliance for use when cooking with a round-bottom wok. The support is not necessary when cooing with a flat-bottom wok.

Figure 3

Stainless steel

Note: Ensure any oil is cleaned off the hob before first use, otherwise it may cause the hob to turn a yellowish colour.

All grades of stainless steel may stain, discolour or attain an adhering layer of grime in normal operation. To achieve maximum surface appearance, stainless steel must be kept clean by regularly using the following cleaning procedures, thus ensuring good performance and long service life. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water. Where the stainless steel has become extremely dirty with signs of surface discolouration, (due to periods of neglect or misuse) use a stainless steel cleaner.

WARNING

Never use asbestos mats, wire mats or grids, aluminium foil as it can lead to overheating, cracked enamel. The warranty will be void if these items are used and cause a failure. Woks should only be used on the wok burner and wok support trivet.

CLEANING & CARE

CAUTION

Ensure the appliance is off and cool before cleaning.

Enamel

Persistent stains may require rubbing with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers. Household enamel cleaners are available, follow the manufacturer’s instructions in their use.

CAUTION

Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes should not be used.

CAUTION

DO NOT use abrasive scourers or steel wool.

When removing these stains be sure to follow the polish or brushing lines.

Trivets and burners

These can all be lifted off and removed for separate cleaning. This appliance is fitted with single-piece burners (except triple ring wok burner) for ease of cleaning. The burners and trivets are removable for easy cleaning.

Note: When refitting the burners, ensure that they are correctly seated.

Ensure burners are thoroughly dried after cleaning or spillage. When cleaning the burners, ensure that all the flame ports are free of any blockage. If necessary, use a toothpick or brush to clear ports. The outer surface of the burners have a polished finish and extra care needs to be taken to avoid scratching this surface during cleaning. In instances of heavy soiling, it may be necessary to apply a non-abrasive cleaning compound and rub with a cloth until the soiling is removed and then finish with a soft, dry cloth.

Note: DO NOT place burners in the dishwasher.

Ignition

GENTLY clean the spark plug and flame safe guard sensor (where fitted) with a damp cloth to avoid lighting difficulties. Ensure the electrode is dry before use.

Injector

Ensure the injector remains free of any foreign material.

If necessary, use a thin piece of wire to clear the orifice.
