These are shown on the data plate which is located under the burner box at the front right.

This appliance is adjusted for use with the particular gas shown on the gas-type label. However, it can be

converted for use with other gases, please refer to conversion section of this booklet.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation as aerosols can contain

flammable propellants.

• It is necessary to have plug accessible after installation

• This appliance must not be used as a space heater

• The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the 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 of a window,

or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

• Each burner is controlled by a valve which is activated by a control knob that diagrammatically shows

high to low (Fig 1A).

power is switched on, depressing any knob will release sparks to all burners. To

light a burner turn the corresponding knob to the ‘High’ position while depressing

the knob. For standard models the knob may be released once the flame is

established. For Flame Safeguard Models the knob must be held down for 5-10

seconds once the burner is ignited. If the flame goes out when the knob is

depressed simply depress the knob again and hold it down for the required

length of time. The height of the flame can be varied by turning the control knob

toward the ‘Low’ position. In the absence of electrical power, carry out the

ignition directly to the burner with a match or taper.

(models with an electric element fitted).

• A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.

• A large burner for fast heating and large utensils.

• A Wok burner for very fast heating using a Wok or large utensil.

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 (Fig. 2).

All normally available utensils; aluminium, stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, etc., may be used on your new

gas or electric element model cooktop. Ensure that the utensils are steady and have flat bases to avoid

dangerous spill-over of hot liquids and wasted energy. Do not use hollow based or oversized utensils i.e.

utensils which have a greater diameter base than the hotplate (Fig. 3). Woks should only be used on the

wok burner and the wok support trivet.

Persistent stains may require vigorous rubbing with nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers. Household

enamel cleaners are available, follow the manufacturer’s instructions in their use. Harsh abrasive cleaners,

brushing lines.

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

brushing lines.

These can all be lifted off and removed for separate cleaning. Ensure burner caps and crowns are

thoroughly dried after cleaning or spillage.

When cleaning the burner crowns, ensure that all the flame ports and other holes are free of any blockage.

If necessary, use a matchstick or brush to clear ports.

SOLID HOTPLATE (Where fitted)

It is most important that the sealed

hotplate is kept clean and correctly

conditioned. If spillage occurs clean off

immediately after the hotplate has

cooled and warm hotplate for

approximately 30 seconds to dry

surface. At weekly intervals clean

If a fault develops in your hotplate,

please check the points listed in Table

1.0 before calling for service as it may

be possible to avoid a service call and

therefore keep the appliance in use.
