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:
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
● 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
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 and
does not re-ignite.
● 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 is yellow or yellow-tipped
rather than blue.
● The flames are too large, small, irregular,
noisy or lift away from the burner.
IMPORTANT!
● If a dial halo is red, the dial is not in the ‘OFF’ position.
Ensure that the burner has ignited or turn the dial back to the OFF position.
● A white halo indicates that another burner dial has been turned on.
● When all the dials are in the ‘OFF’ position, all the halos will turn off.
Adjusting the flame on the dual work burner
1Always start out on High. Both rings of
flame will be on in the shaded setting
range.
Note: when turned all the way down, the
outer ring may appear to come and go.
If this occurs, adjust the dial slightly back
towards High for a stable outer ring.
2To use the inner ring of flames only,
continue turning the dial towards Low.
Only the inner ring will be on in the
shaded setting range.

USING YOUR COOKTOP
Wok cooking
Use your wok only on the dual wok burner 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.

COOKING 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 DIAMETER MAXIMUM DIAMETER
Auxiliary n/a 22 cm
Semi-rapid n/a 22 cm
Rapid n/a 22 cm
Dual Wok regular pans (without
small pan support)
20 cm 40 cm
woks (with wok stand) n/a 45 cm

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.
● 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.

Stainless steel
base
After every use
1Soak any stubborn stains
under a hot soapy cloth.
2Wipe the soiling off with a
cloth using a mild household
detergent or stainless steel
cleaner.
3Wipe with a clean damp
cloth.
4Wipe the surface dry with a
microfibre cloth.
5For 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
1Wipe with a damp cloth and
mild detergent. Stainless
steel cleaner can be used on
the top surface of the dials
only.

to clear the flame ports.
4Rinse in warm water.
5Dry thoroughly.
6Replace the parts correctly,
as shown in the drawings
following this chart.
● 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
At least once
a month
Clean these very carefully
using a toothbrush dipped
into methylated spirits.
A clean ignitor ensures
trouble-free sparking. Check
the ignitor regularly to make
sure it is clean.

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.
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 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. Wait until the flame is
burning evenly before adjusting it.
IMPORTANT!
Auto-reignition will not work and the dial halos will not
light up during a power failure.
There is no clicking/
sparking and the halos do
not light up.
There is a power failure. See entry ‘There is a power
failure’ above.
There is no clicking/sparking
but halo is red.
The ignitor(s) may be dirty or wet. Clean them following
the instructions in ‘Care and cleaning’.
