which is close to the controls.
OEnsure burner caps and trivets are properly located.
(see Figure1)
OFor maximum stability, ensure pots and pans are centrally
located on the trivets.

WARNING
warning
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is
in operation as aerosols can contain flammable propellants.
WARNING
warning
Where the appliance is installed in any confined area, the
area must be properly ventilated. It MUST NOT be used as a
space heater.
Controls
Each burner is controlled by a control knob. The markings
on the control panel indicate which burner the knob controls,
and the settings for that burner (see Figure 2).
Figure 2

Lighting burners
Electronic ignition: These cooktops are fitted with mains
powered or battery ignition. When the appliance has been
connected and the power is on, depressing any knob will
release sparks to all burners (except push button ignition, see
push button ignition models). To light a burner, depress the
corresponding knob and turn to the ‘HIGH’ position (while
depressing the knob). The knob may be released once the
flame is established.
Push button ignition: Turn the knob to the ‘HIGH’ position
and press the ignition button down until the flame is
established. The height of the flame can be varied by turning
the knob towards the ‘LOW’ position.
WARNING
warning
Keep hands clear of the burners when lighting.
If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to ‘OFF’
position, allow gas to disperse then try lighting again.
WARNING
caution
Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’
settings only.
In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition directly
to the burner with a hand held ignition source.
Hotplates
Choice of hotplate
For your convenience there is a choice of hotplates:
OA small burner for special low heat and slow cooking.
OA medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.
OA large burner for fast heating and large pots and pans.
OA wok burner for very fast heating using a wok or large
pot or pan.
To conserve gas place the pan centrally over the burner and
adjust the flame so that it does not extend past the edge of the
pan (Figure 3). Do not boil food too rapidly.
A vigorous boil will not cook food any faster, and will
waste energy.
Pots and pans
All common pots and pans; aluminium, stainless steel, cast iron,
ceramic, etc., may be used on your new gas cooktop. Ensure
that the pots or pans are steady and have flat bases to avoid
dangerous spill-over of hot liquids and wasted energy.

WARNING
caution
Never use asbestos mats, wire mats or grids, or aluminium foil
as it can lead to overheating, cracked enamel or broken glass.
The warranty will be void if these items are used and cause a
failure. Woks should only be used on the wok burner and wok
support trivet.

This appliance must be installed by an authorised person and
in compliance with:
1. ALP Gas installations in caravans and boats for non-
propulsive purposes, or the relevant installation code for
gas appliances in your country.
2. The local gas fitting regulations, municipal building
codes, electrical wiring regulations and any other relevant
statutory regulations.
3. The particular instructions as given below. Before
commencing installation, check to ensure that the
appliance gas type given on the data plate on the
appliance corresponds with the type of gas to which it
is intended the applance be connected.
4. A certificate of compliance MUST be given to the
customer after the application is successfully installed.
Installation procedure
1. The bench cutout should be made as per cutout
dimensions in Table 2 and Figure 4.
2.
To ensure clearances of 200mm from burners to vertical
combustible surfaces observe the minimum distance
requirements shown in Figure 5.
3. Optional barrier: A barrier can be installed to prevent
accidental contact with the cooktop base, where the
base of the cooktop is accessible from below (i.e. Inside
a cupboard, etc.). An impression has been incorporated
into the base to ensure a minimum clearance of 10mm is
maintained between the base and the barrier. This barrier
may be made of any rigid material.
Barrier protection is not necessary if the product is
installed above an underbench oven or similar appliance
and/or if the cupboard construction is such that the
underside of the cooktop is not accessible.

7esting appliance
operation
After installation, test the appliance and ensure that it
operates correctly before handing it over to the customer. The
following procedure is recommended:
1. Turn on the gas and electricity supply and attempt ignition
on all burners, both separately and in combination. (For
correct procedure, refer to page 4). Note that additional
time needs to be allowed for the initial lighting as air has
to be purged from the pipes.
2. Observe the flame appearance on each burner. (Figure
10) If it is much larger or much smaller than expected, the
injector size and supply pressure require checking. Where
a flame is unsatisfactory, refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide (Page 6) to correct the fault. If the Troubleshooting
Guide does not solve the problem, call the Service
Centre.
3. When all the foregoing is satisfactory, check the turndown
(minimum or low) setting on each burner, as this may need
adjustment. Valves have a by pass controlling screw,
which may be accessed by removing the knob. This
screw will be located on a particular area of the valve.
(Refer figure 11). Normally, this will have been correctly
set at the factory for use on NG (Natural Gas) and should
not require adjustment.
If the appliance has been converted to LPG, then the
bypass screw will have to be screwed in until a small,
stable flame results.
Please ensure the supply pressure has been checked
PRIOR to any adjustment.
4. If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform safely,
inform the customer of the problem and affix an
appropriate warning notice to the appliance. If the
fault appears to be dangerous the appliance should be
disconnected. If a minor fault exists, the customer may
wish to use the appliance while awaiting service.
If a fault cannot be fixed, please call the Service Centre.
5. The customer should be advised that, in the event
of a fault, the local Service Organisation or the retailer
from whom the appliance was purchased should be
contacted.
6. When satisfied that the unit is operating correctly, turn off
and instruct the customer on correct operation as outlined
in this booklet. Ask the customer to operate the controls
to ensure that the correct procedure is understood.
