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.

This appliance is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or
industrial purposes.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening
of a window, or increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
Use heat-resistant pot holders or gloves when handling hot pots and pans.
Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware.
Take care not to let pot holders or gloves get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through
the material quicker with the risk of burning yourself.
Only ever use the burners after placing pots or pans on them. Do not heat up any empty pots or
pans.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the appliance.
When using other electrical appliances, ensure the cable does not come into contact with the
surfaces of the cooking appliance.
If you have any mechanical parts (eg: an artificial heart) please consult a medical practicioner
before using the appliance.
Do not use a tea towel or simiilar materials in place of a pot holder or gloves. Such cloths may
catch fire on a hot burner.
When using glass cookware, ensure it is designed for gas hotplate cooking. If your glass
cookware cracks during use, turn off the burners.
To minimise the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware
handles toward the side or centre of the hotplate without extending over adjacent burners.
Always turn burner controls off before removing cookware.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.
Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats
Food for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and flow over the sides of a pan.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is completely cool.

-as this wastes energy
Do not use a pan with a convex or
concave bottom.
Do not place cookware on one side of a
burner,as it could tip over.
Do not use cookware with a large diameter
on the burners near the controls,which when
placed on the middle of the burner may
touch the controls or be so close to them
that they increase the temperature in this
area and may cause damage.
Never place cookware directly on top of the
burner.
Do not place anything,eg.flame
tamer,asbestos mat,between pan and pan
support as serious damage to the appliance
may result.
Do not use excessive weight and do not
hit the cooktop with heavy objects.
Always use cookware that is
suitable for each burner, to avoid
wasting gas and discolouring the
cookware.
Place a lid on the cookware.
Only use pots,saucepans and
frying pans with a thick,flat

Gas Connection
Statutory requirements
This installation must conform with the following:
■ Manufacturer’s Installation instructions
■ Local Gas Fitting Regulations
■ Municipal Building Codes
■ Refer to AS/NZS 5601.1 for Gas Installations
■ S.A.A. Wiring Code
■ Local Electrical Regulations
■ Any other statutory regulations
Preparing to install
Refer to AS/NZS 5601.1 for piping size details. These built-in cooktops are intended to
be inserted in a benchtop cutout. Only an officially authorised technician should
connect the appliance. Before you begin, turn off the gas and electricity supply.
19
A full operational test and a test for possible leakages must be
carried out by the fitter after installation.
Access to the whole length of the connection hose must be possible
and the gas hose must be replaced before its end of service life
(indicated on the hose.)
Before leaving, check all connections for gas leaks with soap and
water.
DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both
individually and concurrently to ensure correct operation of gas
valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas knobs to low flame position
and observe stability of the flame for each burner individually
and all together. Adhere the duplicate data plate to an accessible
location near the hotplate. When satisfied with the hotplate, please
instruct the user on the correct method of operation. In case the
appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried
out, refer to an authorised service provider in your area.
