INTRODUCTION EN
About your new cooktop
Thank you for buying a DCS by Fisher & Paykel gas cooktop. We recommend you read
the whole guide before using your new cooktop, for both safety and cooking success.
For more information, visit our website listed on the back cover.
Safety feature: Auto-reignition
Auto-reignition is for your convenience and safety. The auto-reignition feature causes
the ignitors to spark automatically and the burner to relight if a flame blows out or if the
flame is severely distorted by a draft or a cooktop ventilation system.
Before using the cooktop for the first time
 Find the model and serial numbers on the label on the underside of the chassis.
Note these numbers down for future reference in the space provided in section
`Warranty and service’.
 Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety and warnings’ section.
 Remove all the packaging from the cooktop. Recycle items that you can. If any adhesive
residue is left on surfaces, remove this using dishwashing liquid on a soft cloth.
 Do not use any harsh or abrasive cleaners.

USING THE COOKTOP BURNERS
Cooking guidelines
IMPORTANT!
 Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite.
 Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high
setting.
 Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat.
 Minimise the amount of liquid to reduce cooking times.
Cookware
 Use saucepans with thick flat bases.
 For best results we recommend using professional cookware.
If using regular cookware, be very careful if the pans have plastic handles, as these
professional size burners can flame up on the outside of the pan and melt or bubble the
handles.
 Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench, as this can deflect heat
onto your countertop and damage its surface.
 Always make sure saucepans are stable by centring them over the burner.
 Make sure the size of the pan matches the size of the burner. A small pot on a large
burner is not efficient.

11
GUIDELINES FOR USING THE COOKTOP BURNERS EN
 All burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering
(1,200 BTU/hr). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and
delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
 For cooking that requires especially intense heat (e.g. searing meat, wok-cooking, stir-
frying), use the D burners, as these have a higher maximum output
(20,000 BTU/hr for Natural gas) than the other burners (15,000 BTU/hr for Natural gas).
 Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite.
 Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides. This could discolor
and damage the utensil and you may get burned touching a hot handle.
 Keep handles out of the way. Turn handles so that they don’t extend over the edge of
the cooktop or another burner that is on.
 Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high
setting.
 Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or incompletely
assembled burners may produce dangerous flames. See ‘Replacing the burner parts’ in
‘Care and cleaning’.
 Keep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boilover, make sure you clean the
affected burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the ignitor and the
notches of the flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning correctly. See ‘Care
and cleaning’ for instructions.
 Check that the burner flames are regular. They should be blue with no yellow tipping,
and burn without fluttering all around the burner cap. If not, see ‘Troubleshooting’ for
advice.
 Use woks only with a wok ring. Wok rings can be purchased separately through your
DCS by Fisher & Paykel dealer or Customer Care. To use, place the wok ring over the
grates, making sure the small protrusions on its bottom straddle the grate fingers. The
wok ring should be stable and unable to rotate.

DOS DON’TS
 Read these cleaning instructions and the
‘Safety and warnings’ section before you
start cleaning your cooktop.
 Before cleaning or removing any part,
make sure that everything on the cooktop
has been turned off.
 Unless suggested otherwise in the chart
following, allow any part to cool to a
safe temperature before cleaning. Wear
long protective mitts to avoid burns from
steam or hot surfaces.
 Try using any cleaner on a small area first,
to ensure it doesn’t stain.
 Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper
towels, and plastic non-metal pads for
cleaning or scouring (use only soap pads
with soap still in them, an empty pad can
scratch).
 Do not use aerosol cleaners until
the cooktop has completely cooled.
The propellant substance in these
cleaners could catch fire in the
presence of heat.
 Do not let soiling or grease
accumulate anywhere on the
cooktop. This will make future
cleaning more difficult and may
present a fire hazard.
 Do not use any abrasive or harsh
cleaners, cloths, scouring pads or
steel wool. These will scratch your
cooktop and damage its appearance.
 Do not use a steam cleaner to clean
any part of the cooktop.
 Do not perform any cleaning
or maintenance on parts not
specifically named in the chart
below. If in doubt, contact Customer
Care.
CARE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT!
Before any cleaning or maintenance, always:
 turn all burners off.
 switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
 make sure that the cooktop and its parts are a safe temperature to touch.
General advice
 Clean the cooktop regularly—do not let stains become burnt on, as they may become
very difficult to remove.
 All parts of the appliance can be cleaned with a small amount of hot soapy water,
rinsed, dried and buffed to a shine with a soft, heavy pile cloth. Always try this first, as it
is the mildest cleaning procedure.
 Do not use abrasive cleaners, cloths or pads to clean any part of your cooktop. Some
nylon scourers may also scratch. Check the label.
 To avoid marring the surfaces, always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish
lines. The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.
 Clean up spillages as soon as possible. If left to dry on, food residue may clog the flame
ports, causing an uneven flame pattern.
 Make sure that no cleaner residue is left on any cooktop part; when heated, these could
stain the cooktop.
 See the following pages for instructions on reassembling the burners correctly after
cleaning.
 Do not clean cooktop parts in a self-cleaning oven.
 Do not use a steam cleaner.

EN
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS
There is a strong gas
smell.
The gas connection could be leaking because of
incorrect installation or damaged piping
IMPORTANT!
Do not use any electrical equipment or operate any
electrical switches.
1If any burners are on, turn all of them off
immediately.
2If you know how to shut off the gas supply to your
cooktop (either at the valve or the gas bottle), do so.
3Open a window to let the gas out.
4Contact your local Authorized Repairer as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use the cooktop until it has been repaired.
There is a slight rubbery or
metallic smell when I use the
cooktop for the first time.
This is normal for first use and is caused by
manufacturing residues burning off. The smell will

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS
The flame has been
blown out by a draft
or extinguished by a
spill.
The auto-reignition feature will recognise this. The
ignitors will spark and attempt to relight the burner. If
the burner fails to relight, turn the burner off, then wait
for at least 1 minute before attempting to relight. This
is to allow for any small amount of gas that may have
escaped to disperse.
The flame goes out at
low settings.
The gas supply pressure may be low. Check this with
your service person or installer.
If you use bottled gas, this may indicate you are getting
near the end of the bottle

or yellow-tipped rather than
blue.
Burner parts (especially the flame ports) may be clogged
or wet. Check that they are clean and dry.

type of gas or the gas pressure is not correct. Contact
Customer Care and do not use your cooktop until it has
been checked by a qualified technician.

or ring is sitting flat on the flame spreader. See ‘Care and
cleaning’ for illustrations.
