As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could
easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Service Force
Centre.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power
cut, it is quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.
In the absence of electricity, ignition can occur without the electrical device; in this case, approach
the burner with a flame, push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the
“maximum” position.
Operation
Using the Wok Stand
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round
bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be
used on the central burner, and should not be used with
any other type of wok or pan. When fitting the wok stand,
ensure the recesses in the frame fit securely onto the
bars of the pan supports, as shown in figure 3.

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily
than if it is left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added.Avoid the use
of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following products are recommended:
- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.
- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
Pan Supports
When washing the pan supports by hand, take care when drying them as the enamelling
process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a
paste cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild
paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with caution,
if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic electrode and a metal electrode (Fig.
2 - lett. C). Keep these components very clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that
the burner crown holes (Fig. 2 - lett. B) are not obstructed.

Installation
Important
This hob must be installed by qualified personnel to the relevant British Standards.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a CORGI registered installer.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the
other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.
On the end of the shaft, which includes the G 1/2" threaded elbow, adjustment is fixed so
that the washer is fitted between the components as shown in the diagram. Screw the
parts together without using excessive force.
Gas Connection
Connection to the gas supply should be with either rigid or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or
copper.
The connection should be suitable for connecting to R 1/2" (1/2 BSP male thread).
When the final connection has been made, it is essential that a thorough leak test is
carried out on the hob and installation.
Ensure that the main connection pipe does not exert any strain on the hob.
FO 0814
FO 0264
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with the shoulder on the end of the thread,
fitted to the hob connecting pipe.
Failure to ensure the correct assembly will cause leakage of gas.

Electrical connections
Any electrical work required to install this hob should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person, in accordance with the current regulations.
THIS HOB MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be
observed.
This hob is designed to be connected to a 230-240V 50Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that
indicated on the hob rating plate. The rating plate is located on the bottom of the
hob. A copy is attached on the back cover of this book.
The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cord incorporating a 13 amp plug
fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approved (BS 1362)
fuse must be used.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, the wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
1) Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire
to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter 'E' or the earth symbol or
coloured green and yellow.
2) Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured black.
3) Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the
letter 'L' or coloured red.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord
clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
In the event of having to change the fuse, a 3amp ASTAapproved (BS 1362) fuse must
be used.
FO 0390
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

18
Permanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary that you install a double pole
switch between the hob and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm.
between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with
the current electric regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.
Ensure that the hob supply cord does not come into contact with surfaces with
temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.

A. EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK
Appliance must be electrically disconnected - meter set on Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale and
adjust zero if necessary.
— Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth pin on plug. Resistance should be
less than 0.1 Ω(Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity and all contacts are clean
and tight.
B. INSULATION CHECK
Appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON.
a) meter set on Ω(Ohms) x 1 scale.
Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal block. If meter reads «0» then there is a
short circuit.
b) meter set on Ω(Ohm) x 100 scale.
Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than ∞ (infinity) there is a fault.
NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated - a detailed continuity
check (i.e. by disconnecting and checking each component) is required to trace the faulty
component.
It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of local burning/arcing but no fault could be found
under test. However a detailed visual inspection should reveal evidence of burning around the
fault.
