2. Press and hold the Burner control in. The spark ignition will
operate whilst you hold in the control. While pressing the
burner control down, turn it anti-clockwise to the large flame
symbol . Continue to hold the control in for approximately 10
seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the control too soon
will extinguish the flame due to the flame failure safety feature.
Manual Ignition (in case of electricity failure)
To ignite one of the burners, press and turn the control counter-clockwise so that the control is at the
position. Hold an ignition source (e.g. candle lighter) close to the upper circumference of the burner.
Move the ignition source away as soon as you see a stable flame. Continue holding the control in for
approximately 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the control too soon will extinguish the flame
due to the flame failure safety feature.
3. Adjust the flame anywhere between the and positions. Do not adjust the flame between the and Off
position.
4. After ignition, check the flames visually. If you see yellow tipped, lifted or unstable flames; turn the control
off. Allow the burners to cool before touching, then check the assembly of the burner rings and caps. Also,
make sure that no liquid has entered into the burner cups. If the burner flames go out accidentally, turn the
burners off, and do not try to light them again for at least 90 seconds (to allow the gas to disperse).
5. When turning the hob off, turn the control in a clockwise direction to the off mark, ‘ ’.

Electricity Failure
If there is an electricity failure, you can still use your hob. Light the burners by holding an ignition source (e.g.
candle lighter) close to the side of the burner and turning the control to the High position to light the gas. The
controls must still be held down for 5 – 10 seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the controls too soon will
extinguish the flame. Adjust the controls as required.
Flame Failure Safety Feature
The flame supervision device (FSD) probe cuts off the gas supply to the burner within one minute if the flame is
extinguished. Gas will flow out of the burner until the FSD cools down and activates, so you may notice the smell
of gas, this is normal.
If the flames are accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner and do not try to light it again for at least one
minute (to allow the gas to disperse).
When lighting the burner, hold down the control for approximately 5 – 10 seconds after the burner has lit.
Releasing the control too soon will extinguish the flame.
If the Burner Does Not Light
If the burner does not light, check that:
• The hob is connected to the electrical supply and the supply is switched on.
• The gas is turned on.
• You have held down the control for at least 5 – 10 seconds after the flame has been lit.
• The ignitors are sparking. If the ignitors are not sparking, they may be dirty or wet. Clean them gently with a
small nylon brush such as a toothbrush as shown below. Ensure the electrical supply has been disconnected
before cleaning.
If the Flame is Irregular
If the flame is yellow or irregular, check that the burner parts, including the burner cap (allow to cool before
touching), are:
• Clean and dry.
• Positioned correctly. See ‘Replacing the Burners’.
• Also see ‘Hints and Tips’.

• Do not use large saucepans or frying pans that overlap the edges of your hob as this can deflect heat onto
your worktop and damage the surface, and may also cause a hazard.
• Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the trivet/pan support or
deflect the flame.
• Always lift the cookware when removing from the hob, do not drag.
• When you need to boil, simmer or fry food, first set the temperature to the High position.
Once the food is boiling, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady heat to cook your food thoroughly.
Doing this will reduce the cooking time and save energy.
• Pan sizes should be as per the table shown below.
Burners Minimum Diameter Maximum Diameter
Large (90mm) 22 cm 24 cm
Standard (70mm) 18 cm 20 cm
Small (45 mm) 12 cm 18 cm
Cookware Guidelines
To get the best out of your hob, follow these simple suggestions:
• Use saucepans with thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take longer to cook.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy.
• When liquid comes to a boil, reduce the temperature setting to maintain the desired level of boiling.
• Choose cookware of the proper size, material and construction.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Select the proper temperature setting for the cooking task.
* All images are for indication only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.
Do not use cooking vessels on the hob that overlap its edges.

Location
The hob should be located in a kitchen or kitchen/diner, but not in a bathroom, shower room, garage or a bed
sitting room with a volume less than 20 cubic metres.
Do not install this appliance in a room below ground level unless it is open to ground level on at least one side.
Before making the cut out in the worktop ensure that there is a minimum distance of 60 mm between the rear
edge of the hob and the wall. If there are non-combustible materials (ceramic tiles, metal backsplash etc.) on the
wall then this can be reduced to 40 mm.
A minimum distance of 300 mm must be left between the side edges of the hob and any adjacent cabinets or
walls. If there are non-combustible materials (ceramic tiles, metal backsplash etc.) on the wall then this can be
reduced to 50 mm.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted above the hob in line with the edges of the hob is 420
mm.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted directly above the hob is 750 mm.

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of
combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially when
the appliance is in use: 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,
e.g. opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, e.g. increasing the level of mechanical ventilation
where present.

When the Hob is First Installed
Once the hob has been installed,
it is important to remove any
protective materials, which were
put on in the factory.
Any gas installation must
be carried out by a Gas Safe
Registered engineer.
The manufacturer will not
accept liability, should the above
instructions or any of the other
safety instructions incorporated in
this manual are ignored.
Gas Connection
Connection to the gas supply should be with a rigid pipe, i.e. steel or copper. The connection should be suitable
for connecting to 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 all pipework is not under any strain or stress.
