2.2.3 OPTIONAL AUTOFLAM
Principal :
AutoFlam is a pan detection system on open burners that lights the burner only when there is a pan within the heating area. The pan whilst
touching the detector simply moves over the burner to activate a magnetic switch controlling a solenoid that activates or deactivates the supply of gas
to the burner depending on whether or not there is a pan present.
The advantages of this system are:
•Energy saving because the burner is only lit when there is a pan on the burner
•Comfort and Ergonomics by producing less heat in the kitchen and improving the working conditions (No need to keep turning off
and reigniting the burner)
To light the pilot and adjust the burner setting see the previous paragraph « OPEN BURNERS WITH PILOT AND SPARK IGNITION OPTION ».
After lighting the pilot the burner only comes on if a pan is present no matter what size. Removing the pan will shut the burner off, only the pilot
remains lit. The burner will relight the moment that it detects a pan, at the level that the control knob was previously set.
A switch located under the facia panel allows this function to be switched off, when for example AutoFlam is not required, because the pan is
not in permanent contact with the burner (pancakes, vegetables, sautés…).
And should there be a problem with the system this switch allows continued use by closing the system down until an after sales technician can
attend.

- Always position the stones properly.
- Never use the Chargrill with stones missing.
- These stone do not have an indefinite life and they must be
changed if they deteriorate, break or become saturated with
fat (the pyrolysis of fats can no longer avoid them smoking or
smelling).
Use
- Before use, ensure the unit is clean (see "CLEANING").
- Start heating the zones required to suit the cooking quantities leaving the unit on MAXIMUM for at least 30 minutes to preheat the lava rock stones.
- Then REDUCE HEAT (this is recommended for most cooking). Increase the power depending on the desired result.
- After service:
* Brush the bars with a brass wire brush.
* Leave to cool down over night.
* The daily cleaning should be done the following morning.
NOTE: An accessory is supplied to make handling of grills easier when they are hot and to remove the residue from them.

HINTS
- Preheat for 20mins then apply any cooking fat
- The temperature range usually used is between 210° and 230°C
- Use a spray with the cooking fat of your choice: olive oil, groundnut or, sunflower oil etc…
- Be sure to dry everything thoroughly before putting it on the plancha
- If you season your product, it is vital to seal them immediately so as not to let leave them to soak. To avoid this happening it is better to
season after cooking
- Place your product on the film of cooking oil. If your plancha is perfectly maintained you will find it very easy to move them around.
NOTE : From the moment that products are placed on the plancha it is very important to keep it clean by clearing juices and cooking fat
regularly, using a stiff flat spatula, equally you can use a thick cloth to wipe particles into the channel provided for this purpose.

Depress the knob and turn to the ignition position. Whilst
fully depressing the knob, press the ignition button, wait
at least 5 seconds and release the knob. If the burner
goes out, repeat the operation increasing the time the
knob is held in for. (The pilot flame is visible through the
hole in the front used for torch ignition).
Heat position
Press lightly on the knob and turn it
to 270°: the burner ignites. Now
simply turn the control knob to the
required temperature.
Preheating the oven for 1 to 2 hours before using it for the first time is recommended. This operation will avoid transmitting the disagreeable
smell of new equipment to the products.
IMPORTANT: The oven racks provide different heights for positioning the trays or plates depending on the cooking desired and the type of
product being dealt with. However NEVER COOK ON 2 LEVELS SIMULTANEOUSLY (see exceptions below). Uneven cooking
is generally due to too high a cooking temperature; gradually decrease the temperature.
HINTS
The gas oven has a temperature gradient, for any given setting it is hotter at the top than the bottom.
Accordingly:
- Upper levels allow more browning …
- Lower levels are better for braising, slower cooking, …
- Intermediate levels are a good compromise (Top / Bottom)
Cooking examples:
Product Temperature Time Level
Roast: Fresh chicken 200° C 1h15 4 5 birds per roasting dish
Roast: Beef 200° C 20 min / lb 4 In a roasting dish
Cabbage 160° C 35 min 3 On GN 2/1 tray
150° C 50 min 1, 3 and 5 On GN 2/1 trays. Swap levels 1 and 5 after 25 mins
Chocolate fondant 170° C 20 min 1 On pastry tray + rings.
Frozen dainties 180° C 40 min 3 17 per pastry tray
180° C 40 min 1, 3 and 5 17 per pastry tray. Swap levels 1 and 5 after 20 mins
Savoury pastries 190° C 15 min 3 On pastry tray
Apple tart 190° C 35 min 5 On pastry tray
Baked fruit 190° C 40 min 3 In a mould
Quiche 210° C 17 min 3 On tray + rings precooked bases.
Fruit gratin 230° C 5 min 5 In a mould
Vegetable gratin 220° C 37 min 5 In a mould
Note: To maximise production it is possible for certain products to use several shelves, generally 1, 3 and 5 :
- Likewise different products but with compatible cooking temperatures but on different levels.
Example: Apples tart on level 5 and savoury pastry on level 3 can be cooked simultaneously.
- As can identical products on levels 1, 3 and 5 swapping levels 1 and 5 halfway through the cooking time.

Before it is used for the first time the oven should be heated for an hour or two, this will eliminate any unpleasant odours associated with new
equipment.
If the oven is set to use both elements this may give too much heat from the base, select top element only for the cooking period. Should items
be overcooked on the outside or undercooked inside the temperature is too high, reduce it for subsequent batches. The oven should not be used with
the door left open (there is a risk the controls could overheat).
IMPORTANT: The runners can be positioned at various heights within the oven
BUT NO MORE THAN TWO LEVELS SHOULD BE USED AT ANY ONE TIME.
Irregular cooking is generally due to too high a temperature setting, reduce this gradually on the thermostat.

5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT STAINLESS STEELS
Stainless steel is a steel grade so designed that a thin protective sheet is formed on the metallic surface which protects it against corrosion
(Oxide film resulting from the chemical reaction of oxygen on the metallic surface).
Any factor hindering the formation of this sheet, or facilitating its partial destruction (Food residues, overflow of liquids, stagnant liquids…)
reduces the resistance of stainless steel to corrosion.
Even if the composition of stainless steel enables it to withstand some chemical aggression better than classical steels, you must not think
that stainless steel is indestructible.
3 main factors affecting corrosion should be considered:
- General chemical environment: * Different brines (Salt concentration such as Sauerkraut…)
* Chlorides contained in particular in:
- cleaning products
- bleach.
- The temperature: Any chemical environment such as those above is made considerably more
aggressive to stainless steel as the temperature rises.
- Duration: The longer the contact time between stainless steel and the chemicals, the more
perceptible the consequences of corrosion will be.
The combination of these three factors may even lead to the destruction of the surface, even if they have been made in very high quality
stainless steel.

Note that when stainless steel becomes corroded, it is extremely rare that this is generated by the steel itself. Generally, cleaning products
which are inappropriate or are improperly used, defective maintenance or extreme conditions of use are found to be the origin of the damage.
WARNING!
The Manufacturer will not be held responsible for cases of corrosion that result from these conditions and the manufacturer’s
warranty will not apply.
A list of the most frequent cause follows to allow you to better identify possible risks and take action to ensure the long life or your
equipment.
5.2 THE COMMONEST CAUSES OF CORROSION:
Floor cleaning
Floors (prior to handover or during a kitchen deep clean) are often cleaned with very aggressive products. If the product is sprayed, without
necessary precautions, any splashes on the appliances may result in the corrosion of legs, bases and low level trims.
Worse still, if the area is not properly ventilated after application, the vapour from these products may settle on the equipment and result in
corrosion spreading to the entire surfaces.
Inappropriate cleaning product (Bleach, Acids, Soda)
If inappropriate products, such as bleach, acid or soda dilutions, (all products which are not especially designed for the maintenance of
stainless steels) are used, irreversible etching of the stainless steel surfaces can occur.
Cleaning product applied when the temperature is too high
All cleaning products are more aggressive at higher temperature. In principle the temperature of any surface must not exceed 60°C, or
permanent staining (blackening) of the stainless steel will result.
Inadequate rinsing after cleaning
After cleaning the surfaces should all be rinsed thoroughly to remove any chemical residue. If this is not done the residue will continue to act
over time with the risk of starting the corrosive process.
Worse still, if the affected surface is submitted to temperatures higher than 60°C (inside of an oven, a well or tank,...), the impact will be
greater and corrosion, will almost inevitably occur.
Stagnation of cleaning products
In the same way, all the areas that can trap chemicals, especially the channels, gutters, drainage manifolds, traps etc. must be subject to
careful and plentiful rinsing. (Use a nylon brush to reinforce the action of rinsing with clean water).
Salt concentration
Salt, much in use in kitchens, is often found to be the origin of pitting that can even penetrate the stainless steel. Spillages on any surface
should be cleaned at once.
Particular case of cooking in boiling salted water:
Salting water in a tank or well presents a major risk: never put cooking salt into the well before the water and remember that salt can
concentrating on the base of the well. Salt should be added to the water and stirred until it dissolves, the risk is reduced using table salt which
dissolves faster.
Intensive use with brine
Certain products, such as sauerkraut (acid juices), fish and sea food (presence of salt), and in general, all brines, must be subject to
particular attention. In the case of occasional use there should be no problem if equipment is carefully and systematically cleaned after each use.
In the case of intensive use, all the cooking equipment (ovens, boiling pans, even utensils) must be selected with a grade of stainless steel
specifically adapted to use in such an environment.
Too much chlorine in the mains water supply
Sometimes certain networks supply water containing chlorine at above normal levels. In this event it is not unusual to be faced with
problems of corrosion, pay particular attention to bain-marie, water baths, and equipment left to soak overnight etc.
Cleaning aluminium or aluminium coated items
The presence of aluminium or items that are aluminium coated in a chlorine solution is a particularly powerful catalyst for damaging stainlesssteel.
Do not leave fittings such as hood filters, aluminium trays or dishes soaking in wells, tanks, pots, fryers etc. Just one night is sufficient to
etch stainless steel at the point of contact with aluminium.
5.3 CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
It is necessary to keep the metal surface perfectly clean by removing all dust, metallic particles and deposits of any nature that could
damage the protective sheet as mentioned above. To achieve this it is sufficient to wash these surfaces with water and soap or any neutral, non-
abrasive detergent product. CAREFULLY RINSE and wipe the surfaces dry. Never scrub stainless steel with wire if necessary use a non-stick
scourer or similar and scrub in the same direction as the stainless steels polished finish.
5.4 MAINTENANCE OF THE GAS SYSTEM
To ensure long service life, safe and proper functioning, we recommended a full maintenance check twice a year by factory trained
engineers (Dismantling of burners, inspection and cleaning of venturis, cleaning jets, adjustment of air rings, cleaning of vents, checking for
possible leaks, greasing gas taps, checking control, regulating and safety accessories…).
IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE TYPE OF GAS ENGAGE A QUALIFIED GAS FITTER.
