3. USING YOUR COOKTOP
Congratulations
Congratulations and thank you for choosing our Product. We are sure you will find your new
cooktop a pleasure to use and a great asset to your cooking. Before you use the cooktop, we
recommend that you read through the whole user manual which provides the description of the
cooktop and its functions. To avoid the risks that are always present when you use a gas
appliance, it is important that the cooktop is installed correctly and that you read the safety
instructions carefully to avoid misuse and hazards. For future reference, please store this booklet
in a safe place.
Using Your Cooktop
Aerosol sprays
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation as aerosols
can contain flammable propellants.
Warning – Ventilation
Where this appliance is installed in any confined area, the area must be properly
ventilated. t 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)
NOTE: Gas controls turn anticlockwise from ʻOFFʼ and have
limited movement.
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 ʻH GHʼ position (while
depressing the knob). The knob may be released once the flame is established.
For Push Button Ignition odels, turn the knob to the ʻH GHʼ position and press the ignition button
down until the flame is established. The height of the flame can be varied by turning the knob
toward the ʻLOWʼ position.
• Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.
• If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to ʻOFFʼ position, allow gas
to disperse, then try lighting again.
• Burners UST be operated between ʻHIGHʼ and ʻLOWʼ
settings only.
n the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition directly to the burner with a hand held
ignition source.

4. USING YOUR COOKTOP
Hotplates
Choice of Hotplate
For your convenience there is a choice of Hotplates –
• A small burner for special low heat and slow cooking.
• A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.
• A large burner for fast heating and large pots and pans.
• A 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 model cooktop. Ensure that the pots or pans are steady and have flat bases to
avoid dangerous spill-over of hot liquids and wasted energy.
Figure 3
Never use asbestos mats, wire mats or grids, aluminium foil as it can lead to
overheating, cracked enamel. The warranty will be void if these utensils are used and
cause a failure. Woks should only be used on the wok burner and wok support trivet.

5. CLEANING AND CARE
Ensure the appliance is off and cool before cleaning.
Cleaning and Care
Enamel
Persistent stains may require rubbing with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers.
Household enamel cleaners are available, follow the manufacturerʼs instructions in their use.
Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes should not be used.
Stainless Steel
NOTE: Ensure any oil is cleaned off the hob before first use, otherwise it may cause the hob
to turn a yellowish colour.
All grades of stainless steel may stain, discolour or attain an adhering layer of grime in normal
operation. To achieve maximum surface appearance, stainless steel must be kept clean by
regularly using the following cleaning procedures, thus ensuring good performance and long
service life. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water. Where the stainless steel
has become extremely dirty with signs of surface discolouration, (due to periods of neglect or
misuse) use a stainless steel cleaner.
Do not use abrasive scourers or steel wool.
When removing these stains be sure to follow the polish or brushing lines.
Trivets, Burner-caps and Crowns
These can all be lifted off and removed for separate cleaning.
NOTE: When refitting the burner caps and crowns, ensure that they are correctly seated.
Ensure burner-caps and crowns are thoroughly dried after cleaning or spillage. When cleaning the
burner crowns, ensure that all the flame ports are free of any blockage. f necessary, use a
toothpick or brush to clear ports. The outer surface of the burner crowns have a polished finish
and extra care needs to be taken to avoid scratching this surface during cleaning. n instances of
heavy soiling, it may be necessary to apply a non-abrasive cleaning compound and rub with a cloth
until the soiling is removed and then finish with a soft, dry cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT place burner-caps and crowns in the dishwasher.
Ignition Electrode
GENTLY clean the electrode with a damp cloth to avoid lighting difficulties. Ensure the electrode is
dry before use.
Injector
Ensure the injector remains free of any foreign material. f necessary, use a thin piece of wire to
clear the orifice.
