to leave the knob in this position

Lighting burners

Electronic Ignition

• These cooktops are fitted with mains powered
electronic 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’
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.

NOTE: When the wok burner is turned to low the smaller
inner ring stays lit. This is a normal function of the dual
work burner to provide a very low power flame option.

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

WARNING

WARNING

WARNING

WARNING

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.

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.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING

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.

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.



Incorrect – flame too high
and will cause gas waste
and possible handle damage.

Choice of cooking pan

The appliance installer is not required to make an
adjustment to obtain the correct outlet pressure setting.

An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the
direction of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the
regulator is orientated correctly. When the regulator
has been fitted check for leaks from the connections
with soapy water.

Checking the gas supply

1. Check the manometer zero point is correct.

2. Connect the manometer to the cooktop pressure
point. This is located on the regulator.

3. Turn on the gas supply and electricity and try to
ignite the gas.

4. With the appliance operating check the outlet
pressure:

• when all burners of the appliance are operating

at maximum,

• when the smallest burner of the appliance

is operating at minimum.

Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not
vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 1.00kPa by more
than +/–0.20kPa.

If the regulator appears to not be performing
satisfactorily, then check the following points.

1. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the
inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an
upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream
regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may
be present in the gas supply line. If this is suspected
then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst
measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to
determine if the inlet pressure is in the range 1.13 – 5kPa.

2. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas
supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the
base of the body indicates the direction of gas flow.

Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator
still fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should
be replaced.

LPG CONVERSION

This appliance is supplied set up for Natural Gas usage. A
conversion kit is included with the product for Universal
LPG usage. The conversion kit contains the appropriate
injectors and 1 LPG sticker.

Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit
UNIVERSAL LPG is required:

1. Remove the hotplate trivets, burner caps and burner
crowns to access the hotplate injectors. Replace the
factory fitted injectors with the appropriate injectors, as
supplied. Refer to injector orifice table for injector sizes.
The injector size is stamped on the side of the injector.

2. Unscrew the top hat nut from the regulator. The top
hat nut and control pressure spring assembly will
disengage as an assembly.

3. Unscrew the threaded pin from top hat.

4. Upturn threaded pin, so spring is free and screw pin
back into the top hat until firm.

5. Refit the top hat nut assembly to the regulator
ensuring that it is fully screwed down. The regulator is
now set for connection to LPG.

6. Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection
check for leaks using soapy water. Each hotplate valve
should be turned on, one at a time, and the injector
hole blanked off for several seconds.

7. The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by
connecting a manometer to the pressure test point
located on the side of the regulator body adjacent
to the outlet. With the appliance operating check the
outlet pressure:

• when all burners of the appliance are operating at
maximum,

• when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating
at minimum.

Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary
from the nominal outlet pressure of 2.60kPa by more than
±0.52kPa.

8. If the regulator appears to not be performing
satisfactorily then check the following points:

• If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the
inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an
upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream
regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may
be present in the gas supply line.

• If this is suspected then it may be necessary to repeat
the checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet
pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the
range 2.75 – 7.00kPa.

• Check that the insert has been fitted correctly.

• Check that the turret screw is fully screwed down.

• Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas
supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the
base of the body indicates the direction of gas flow.

Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator
still fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should be
replaced.

9. One by one, turn the knobs to minimum and screw
in the bypass screw (accessible when the knob is
removed) until a small stable flame results. Turn the
knob to maximum and then back to minimum to
ensure that the correct minimum flame is maintained.

10. Attach the LPG sticker to the cooker, near the gas
supply inlet. Cover the Natural Gas label that is
factory fitted.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (220-240 VOLTS)

The appliance is supplied with a standard 7.5Amp service
cord terminated by a 3-pin plug for connection to a
standard household socket. The electrical supply
is required to power the electronic ignition system.

NOTE: It will be necessary for servicing purposes to
disconnect the electrical power supply. The power point
should therefore be accessible after the appliance is
installed, as specified in the local wiring regulations.

Figure 10 is a schematic of the wiring in the appliance.

The weight of the unit is printed on the appliance
packaging label.

TESTING APPLIANCE OPERATION

WARNING

After installation, test the appliance and ensure that it
operates correctly before handing it over to the customer.
The following procedure is recommended:

1. Turn on the gas and electricity supply and attempt
ignition on all burners, both separately and in
combination. (For correct procedure, refer to page 4).
Note that additional time needs to be allowed for the
initial lighting as air has to be purged from the pipes.

2. Observe the flame appearance on each burner.
(Figure 12) If it is much larger or much smaller than
expected, the injector size and supply pressure
require checking. Where a flame is unsatisfactory,
refer to the Troubleshooting Guide (Page 6) to
correct the fault. If the Troubleshooting Guide does
not solve the problem, call the Service Centre.

Figure 12

Flame size adjusted to maximum Flame size adjusted to minimum

3. Once all the previous tests are satisfactory, check
the turndown (minimum or low) setting on each
burner, as this may need adjustment. Valves have a
by pass controlling screw, which may be accessed
by removing the knob. This screw will be located
on a particular area of the valve. (Refer Figure 13).
Normally, this will have been correctly set at the
factory for use on NG (Natural Gas) and should not
require adjustment.

If the appliance has been converted to LPG, then the

bypass screw will have to be screwed in until a small,
stable flame results.

6. When satisfied that the unit is operating correctly,
turn off and instruct the customer on correct
operation as outlined in this booklet. Ask the
customer to operate the controls to ensure that the
correct procedure is understood.

WARNING

Servicing must only be carried out by an authorised
service person.

Injector sizes required for various gas types are shown
in the Technical Data Table (page 11). The appliance inlet
pressure for each gas type is also shown.

For model identification after installation, an additional
data plate sticker has been provided. This sticker is to
be stuck onto adjacent cabinetry.

Figure 13

Bypass screw

Please ensure the supply pressure has been checked

PRIOR to any adjustment.

4. If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform safely,
inform the customer of the problem and affix an
appropriate warning notice to the appliance. If the
fault appears to be dangerous the appliance should
be disconnected. If a minor fault exists, the customer
may wish to use the appliance while awaiting service.

If a fault cannot be fixed, please call the

Service Centre.

5. The customer should be advised that, in the event
of a fault, the local Service Organisation or the retailer
from whom the appliance was purchased should
be contacted.
