Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health. It also
enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both energy
and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household
appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out
wheeled dustbin.
Please note:
•Gas hobs become hot and remain hot during and immediately after
use. Do not touch the pan stands, burners or hob spill tray until the
appliance has been allowed to cool.
•Keep children away from the appliance when in use.
•After use, please ensure that the gas taps are in the ‘O” position.
•Ensure that the appliance is correctly adjusted for the type of gas
available before installation.
•The use of a gas appliance produces heat and humidity in the room
in which it is installed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated, either
by the use of natural ventilation outlets (e.g. windows) or a ducted
extractor.

•This hob (Class 3) has been designed for use only as a cooking
appliance. Any other use (e.g. heating rooms) should be considered
incorrect and potentially dangerous.
•These instructions are valid only for the countries of destination, the
symbols of which appear the appliance.
Using your hob
Gas burners:
Gas flow to the burners is controlled by the control knobs (5, 6, 7, 8 and
9 on the diagrams on pages 6 & 7). There are 3 positions shown on the
control panel. Turning the control knob to the positions shown below
achieves the following:
Closed (OFF position)
Maximum position: Provides fast boiling function
Minimum position: Provides simmer function
The burners can be set to the desired position by turning the control
knobs through the adjustment range in an anti-clockwise direction.

Igniting the burners
The hob is fitted with flame failure de-
vices on each burner. Flame failure de-
vices operate by shutting o the supply
of gas to the burner in the event that
the flame is extinguished accidentally.
To ignite the burners, follow these
instructions:
1. Lightly press the control knob down and turn the knob anti-
clockwise to the maximum position. Firmly press and hold down
the control knob to begin the ignition process (a clicking sound
will be heard). Hold down the control knob for a few seconds
(sometimes up to 10) after ignition to allow the safety device to
detect that the burner is lit.
2.Once the burner is lit, adjust the burner power to the required
position.
Please note:
• The ignition device should not be operated for more than 15
seconds.
• If a burner does not ignite, or turns o accidentally, turn the
control knob to the ‘o’ position, and wait for one minute before
attempting to reignite the burner.
• If the burner does not ignite, repeat the ignition process with the
burner at the minimum position.
• Switch all controls o after you have finished cooking.

Ecient use of your hob
The hob is equipped with burners of dierent sizes, designed to
accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results,
only use pans with flat bottoms and choose an appropriate burner
depending on the size of the pan. The most ecient use of the hob is
shown below, where the pan and burner are correctly chosen.
Ensure that the pans do not overlap the
edge of the pan stand, or cover the
control panel.
The table below shows the sizes of pan that should be used with each
burner:

11
Care and maintenance -AGH7100
As the hob has a stainless steel or enamel surface, you should use a
nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch
the surface and could erase the control panel markings. Stainless
steel can be eectively cleaned by simply using a dilute solution of
water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth.
Over time with use, the stainless steel surface may discolour; this is
normal and does not constitute a fault with this appliance. Proprietary
stainless steel cleaners are available.
IMPORTANT:
• Switch the appliance o at the mains before any cleaning or
maintenance.
• Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
• Ensure that all parts are correctly replaced after cleaning, before
attempting to use the hob.
• After removing the pan stands, ensure the rubber pads are in place
on the base of the pan stands before repositioning the pan stands
straight and level on the hob.
• Do not flood the hob as water could seep into the inner workings.
Always allow your hob to dry properly before using it again.

Care and maintenance - AGVH7300
Important:
• Switch the appliance o at the mains before any cleaning or
maintenance.
•Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
•You should use a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the hob top. Any
abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could
erase the control panel markings.
•Sugar and starch can cause permanent damage to the surface of the
hob. Wipe away any spillages immediately but be careful given that
the hob top will be hot during and after usage.Avoid letting pans boil
over where possible to ensure that the need for cleaning is minimal.
•Always use a soft sponge or cloth where possible. Utensils such as
scouring sponges and some brushes could cause scratches to the
hob top.

Troubleshooting
IF YOUR HOB IS NOT WORKING:
1. Check that the mains supply has not been switched o.
2. Check that the fuse or circuit breaker has not blown/tripped.
3. Check that the burner crowns and caps are fitted correctly and
are not impeding the ignition candles or the flame failure devices
(circled in Fig. 6).
4. Check that the burner caps
(black metal plates that sit atop
the burners) are clean and free
from grease and debris on
both sides.
5. Check the burners are clean
and not blocked.
6. If you have just cleaned
your hob, or it has become
wet through spillages, allow it to dry and try again.
IMPORTANT: Ensure burners have been allowed to cool before
handling them.
If one or more burners continue to malfunction, please contact CDA
Customer Care. Contact details can be found below:

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. Turn o the gas.
For natural gas -
Turn o the gas supply at the meter situated at the emergency control
valve (ECV) unless the meter is located in a basement or cellar. If there
is a smell of gas in the basement or cellar, evacuate the building.
For Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) -
• Bulk storage supply - shut o the ECV outside the building and the
gas isolation valve on top of the above-ground storage vessel(s), or
underground storage vessel(s).
• Metered installations - shut o the ECV at the meter installation
outside the building.
• Cylinder fed installations - shut all cylinder valves.
2. Extinguish all naked flames.
Do not smoke, ignite a lighter of any kind or strike matches.
3. Do not operate electrical switches
Turning a light on or o, or activating any kind of switch or socket
outlet, can ignite escaping gas.
4. Open windows and doors
This gets rid of gas by ventilating the property. For LPG, ventilate at
low level (LPG is heavier than air).
Please note: If gas is evident externally, consideration should be given
to preventing gas entering the property (close windows and doors
etc.).

Preventing unsafe conditions
Knowing how to treat your appliances will help you to prevent unsafe
conditions.
•Keep electrical leads from trailing over or going near the hob.
•Do not hang towels, cloths or other combustibles on, over or near
your hob (nor any cooking appliance).
•Keep all cooking appliances clean. Build ups of fat, grease, food
particles etc. can start a fire.
•Avoid cooking whilst tired, inebriated or under the influence of
drugs and/or alcohol.
•Ensure regularly that all smoke alarms/fire detectors are functional.
•We recommend the use of carbon monoxide alarms in your kitchen
and house/property. Ensure that these are tested and maintained.
•Never leave cooking unattened, even for a moment.
•Never use an appliance that you know to be faulty.
•Ensure that anyone in need of supervision is supervised and kept
away from appliances that are cooking.

Ventilation
All rooms require a window or equivalent (e.g. a door) which can be
opened. Some rooms require a permanent vent in addition to a win-
dow (see below).
This unit must not be used in a room which is less than 5m3. The fol-
lowing table details the requirements based on the kitchen volume
(L x W x H) in m3.
The above requirements also allow use of a gas oven and grill but if
there are any other fuel burning appliances in the same room, consult
the relevant British Standard (BS5440) or GAS SAFE document.
Sealing the gas connection
The gas inlet fitting for these models is a ½” male threaded conic gas
type, complying with ISO 7-1 standards. Please ensure that the con-
nection is made using rigid (15mm copper) pipe (see page 18). When
making the connection, it is important to place the fibre washer (A) in
betweem the inlet pipe (C) and the elbow (B) to ensure a tight seal.
