Operation
Keep children away from the cooktop when it is in use.
Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.
Children, or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should
have a responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that
they can use the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.
If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by an authorised person.

About your new cooktop
Thank you for buying a 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 local website listed on the back cover.
Safety feature: flame failure protection
Your cooktop is equipped with flame failure protection: the gas supply will automatically be cut
off to a burner that is accidentally blown out by a draught or extinguished by a spill.
Before using the cooktop for the first time
Read this user guide, taking special notice of the ‘Safety and Warnings’ section.
Check that the pan supports are all in place and stable, and the flame spreaders, burner caps and
rings are all seated correctly.
Check that the installer has completed the ‘Final checklist’ in the Installation instructions.
Ensure the power supply to the cooktop is turned on.

Using your cooktop
1 Identify the dial of the burner you want to
use.
3 After the burner has lit, keep the dial held
down for 3 more seconds (a), then release.
You may now adjust the flame
anywhere between High and Low (b).
Do not adjust or leave the dial
between High and off (o).
Important!
Turn the burner off (o) and see ‘Troubleshooting’ for what to do next if you experience any of the following:
There’s a strong gas smell.
The flame has been blown out by a draught or
extinguished by a spill.
There is no clicking/sparking or there is clicking/
sparking, but a burner or burners won’t light.
The flames don’t burn all the way around a
burner, or some flames flicker.
The flame goes out when you release the dial
3 seconds after lighting.
The flame is yellow or yellow‐tipped rather
than blue.
The flames are too large, small, irregular,
noisy or lift away from the burner.
2 Press down (a) then turn anti‐clockwise to High (b).
The ignitors will start clicking as they
spark.
If there is no clicking, there is no spark
to light the burner. If the burner fails to
light turn the dial back to off (o) and see
‘Troubleshooting’.
4 When you have finished cooking, turn the dial
clockwise back to off (o).
Check that the burner has gone out.

Wok cooking
Use your wok only on the wok or mini wok burner (depending on model) and with the supplied
wok stand in place, as shown.
Important!
Make sure that the wok stand is stable: its notches need to fit tightly over the pan supports, as
shown.
Make sure the wok does not push any other pans aside. This could make them unstable, or deflect
heat onto nearby walls or the benchtop.

8Cooking guidelines and cookware
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.
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench, as this can deflect heat onto your
benchtop 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.The following table shows the minimum and maximum saucepan base diameters that
may be used on each burner:
Burner Minimum ∅Maximum ∅
Auxiliary n/a 22 cm
Semi-rapid n/a 22 cm
Rapid n/a 22 cm
Mini wok regular pans 15 cm 22 cm
woks (with wok stand) n/a 36 cm
Wok regular pans 20 cm 40 cm
woks (with wok stand) n/a 45 cm

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.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cloths or pads to clean any part of your cooktop. Some nylon
scourers may also scratch. Check the label.
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 replacing the pan supports and reassembling the
burners correctly after cleaning.
Do not clean cooktop parts in a self-cleaning oven.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
Care and cleaning
What?
How often?
How? Important!
Stainless
steel base
After every
use
1
Soak any stubborn stains under a hot
soapy cloth.
2
Wipe the soiling off with a cloth using
a mild household detergent or stainless
steel cleaner.
3
Wipe with a clean damp cloth.
4
Wipe the surface dry with a microfibre
cloth.
5
For extra shine, use a suitable stainless
steel polish.
Hard water spots can be removed with
household white vinegar.
Do not use abrasive cleaners,
steel soap pads or sharp
objects on stainless steel.
Always read the label to make
sure that your stainless steel
cleaner does not contain
chlorine compounds as these
are corrosive and may damage
the appearance of your
cooktop.
Always rub the stainless steel in
the direction of the grain.
The graphics are etched onto
the steel by laser and will not
rub off.
Control dials
As needed
1
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild
detergent. Stainless steel cleaner can be
used on the top surface of the dials only.
2
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Do not use oven cleaner on the
dials, as doing so may damage
their coating.

1
Remove the parts that you wish to clean.
See the the illustrations following this
chart.
2
Soak stubborn stains in a solution of
biological clothes washing detergent or
powdered dishwasher detergent.
3
Clean the parts in hot soapy water. Use a
stiff nylon brush or straight-ended paper
clip to clear the flame ports.
4
Rinse in warm water.
5
Dry thoroughly.
6
Replace the parts correctly, as shown in
the drawings following this chart.
These parts are also dishwasher safe.
Make sure you keep the flame
ports clear. Soiling from food
spillage may clog these and
cause ignition problems or
uneven flame patterns.
Remove stains left by food or
spillovers as soon as possible.
If left to burn on, they may
be difficult to remove or even
permanently discolour these
parts.
Before replacing the burner
parts, make sure that they
are completely dry. Wet
burner parts may result in an
irregular flame.
Before lighting a burner you
have reassembled, check
that all of its parts have
been positioned correctly.
Incorrect assembly can cause
dangerous irregular flames
and ignition problems.
Ignitor and
probe
At least once
a month
Clean these very carefully using a toothbrush
dipped into methylated spirits.
A clean ignitor ensures
trouble-free sparking and the
probe ensures that the flame
failure protection operates.
Check the ignitor and probe
regularly to make sure they
are clean.

Care and cleaning
Replacing the pan supports correctly
CG905DX models
The wok support goes in the centre, over the wok burner. The two side pan supports are
interchangeable but need to be rotated so the rounded corners are to the outside, matching the
cooktop base.
CG604DX models
The pan supports can only be placed as shown and need to be rotated to match the rounded
corners of the cooktop base and the opening fits over the mini-wok burner.

Troubleshooting
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.
1 If any burners are on, turn all of them off immediately.
2 If you know how to shut off the gas supply to your cooktop
(either at the valve or the gas bottle), do so.
3 Open a window to let the gas out.
4 Contact your local Authorised 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 disappear with use.
There is a power failure. You can still use your cooktop, but will need to match‐light the
burner(s). To do so, press down and turn the dial anticlockwise
to High while holding a lighted match close to the side of the
burner. Keep the dial held down for 3 seconds after the burner
has lit, then release. Wait until the flame is burning evenly
before adjusting it.
There is no clicking/
sparking. There is a power failure. See entry ‘There is a power failure’
above.
The ignitor(s) may be dirty or wet. Clean them following the
instructions in ‘Care and cleaning’.
There is clicking/
sparking, but a burner
or burners won’t light
easily or at all.
Wait 1 minute, then try to relighting the burner
again, holding the dial for a few more seconds this time
around. If this doesn’t work and the burner still won’t light, see
the other possible causes and solutions below.
The gas supply may not be turned on at the valve or gas bottle.
Turn all the burners off, and check whether the gas supply to
the cooktop is turned on.
The gas supply to the house may not be working. You should
hear the gas when you turn a burner on.
If you use bottled gas, this may indicate you are getting near
the end of the bottle and need to replace it.
Burner parts may be clogged or wet. Make sure that they are
clean and dry. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
Burner parts may not have been replaced correctly. Check the
assembly and make sure the burner cap is sitting flat. See ‘Care
and cleaning’ for illustrations.

14 Troubleshooting
Problem Possible causes and solutions
The burner goes out
when I release the dial
3 seconds after the
flame lighting.
Try lighting the burner again, this time holding the dial down
longer.
The flame has been
blown out by a draught
or extinguished by a
spill.
The flame failure protection will automatically cut the gas
supply to the burner off, stopping unburnt gas from escaping.
Turn the affected 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
The flames are yellow
or yellow‐tipped
rather than blue.
Burner parts (especially the flame ports) may be clogged or
wet. Check that they are clean and dry.
The cooktop may have been connected to the wrong 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.
The flame pattern is
uneven around the
burner.
Burner parts (especially the flame ports) may be clogged or
wet. Check that they are clean and dry. See ‘Care and cleaning’
for instructions and illustrations on clearing clogged flame
ports. After cleaning, check that there is flame coming out of
each port.
Burner parts may not have been replaced correctly. Check the
assembly and make sure the burner cap and/or ring is sitting
flat on the flame spreader. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for illustrations.
