6Safety and warnings
Important safety instructions!
Have your appliance installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with
the installation instructions.
Ensure that a manual gas shut-off valve is installed in a location accessible after installation.
Be sure to have the installer show you how to turn off the gas and electrical supply.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this user guide.
This appliance cannot be used in the event of a power failure. Do not attempt to operate the
appliance during power failure.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
Turn the pot handles to the side or the back of the appliance away from the reach of children.
Handles should not be positioned over adjacent burners.
Always check that you have turned the burners off when you have finished cooking.
Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
Before using the appliance, ensure that all burners have been assembled correctly.
Do not operate a burner without all burner parts in place.
Always keep flammable wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your appliance.
For safety reasons, the burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the cookware.
Use cookware of the appropriate size and construction for the type of cooking. This appliance
is equipped with burners of different sizes. Cookware must be matched to the size of the burner.
Select utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner flames. The use of undersize
utensils will expose a portion of the burner flames to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
We recommend raising the pan supports first then placing the pan on them (the pan supports are
not primarily designed for lifting pans).
Do not stand on this gas appliance.
For safety reasons, do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the appliance
- children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
When deep-frying in fat, be sure the pan is large enough not to cause an overflow from bubbling
of the fat. Do not deep-fry foods with a high moisture content or food covered with frost.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate near the appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this user
guide. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Glazed cooking utensils - only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.

Important!
Do not use pans with jagged edges or drag pans across the ceramic glass surface as this can
scratch the glass.
Do not drag pans backwards and forwards across the pan support pins, burner heads and trim
rings eg when placing and removing pans or sauteing food, as this can damage them, especially
the coating on the pan support pins.
Cooking tips
Match the size of the pan to the burner. You may not need to change burners during cooking
because each Aero™ burner goes from very high to very low.
For best results use high-quality pans with flat, thick bases.
Only use just enough water to cover the food when boiling and use a lid on the pan to reduce
the cooking time and save energy.
For the small burner, pans should be 4” (10 cm) or larger in diameter.
For the medium burner, pans should be 6” (15 cm) or larger in diameter.
For the wok burner, pans should be 7 “ (18 cm) or larger in diameter. Woks should be no larger
than 16” (40 cm). Check that your wok is adequately supported by the wok stand.
Using the CookSurface’s special talents
The Aero™ burners on your CookSurface are versatile, highly responsive and operate over a wide
range of settings. Turning the dial gives you accurate and repeatable control of the flame. Once
you know what setting is right for your cooking task, you can always use that exact setting for
the task.
Simmering, keeping food warm, and cooking rice
The low turn-down on the smaller Aero™ burners is perfect for delicate tasks, and for keeping
hot food warm. Experiment with the low settings until you find the one that suits your pans and
the food you are cooking.
Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 185
O
F (85
O
C), when bubbles are just rising
occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews
because the flavors develop without overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and
flour-thickened sauces below boiling point.
Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than
the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.

12 Cooking guidelines
Searing steak
To cook juicy flavorsome steaks:
1 Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2 Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3 Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then
lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4 Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of
the steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press
the steak to gauge how cooked it is – the firmer it feels the more ‘well done’ it will be.
5 Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender
before serving.

Cooking guidelines
Fig.2 Wok stand is placed onto the raised wok burner pan supports
Using a wok
Important!
Use your wok only on the wok burner.
When using a wok, always use the wok stand.
Make sure the wok stand is fitted correctly over the raised pan supports. (see Fig.2)
Do not use a wok larger than 16” (40 cm) diameter. Check that your wok is adequately supported
by the wok stand.
Make sure the wok does not push any other pans aside. This could make them unstable, or deflect
heat onto nearby walls or the countertop.
For stir-frying
1 Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large
quantities, cook the food several smaller batches.
2 Preheat the wok for a minute or so with the burner turned up high enough to heat the sides of
the wok. (If your wok is small or thin-based, this may not be the highest setting on the burner.)
3 Drizzle two tablespoons of oil around the sides of the hot wok, allowing it to run down into the
base.
4 Cook any meat first, put it aside and keep warm.
5 Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the burner to low, return the meat
to the wok and add your sauce.
6 Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7 Serve immediately.

Your CookSurface has been designed to combine the easy-care cleaning of ceramic glass with
the performance of gas.
Important!
Read through the ‘Safety and warnings’ and ‘Care and cleaning’ sections carefully before doing any
cleaning or maintenance.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock or burners being accidentally turned on during cleaning, make
sure you turn the CookSurface off before cleaning by pressing the on/off power button.
Remember that the CookSurface will need to be turned back on for the pan supports to rise and
lower. See the specific cleaning instructions on the pages following.
To maintain your CookSurface in good condition, follow the recommendations in the chart
below :
Care and cleaning
When What to do Important!
Immediately
Remove sugary spillovers or anything
that melts onto the ceramic glass. See
‘Melts and spills that require immediate
attention’for instructions.
Take care not to scratch the
glass or damage the trim
rings or pan support pins.
Take extreme care when
working around hot
surfaces.
After every
use
Keep the pan supports clean to ensure
that they rise and lower properly during
use. See‘Cleaning the pan supports (the
pan support pins and burner heads)’.
Lower the cooled, clean pan supports
and wipe the CookSurface with a damp,
soft cloth and mild detergent. See
‘Cleaning the ceramic glass’for further
instructions and information.
Always clean soiled pan
supports before lowering
them.
Do not let spills and stains
become burnt onto the glass
or pan supports.
Do not use abrasive
sponges, heavy-duty or
unsuitable nylon scourers,
or corrosive cleaners such
as oven sprays and stain
removers.
Once every
six months
Check that the airflow through the air
filter mesh (on the underside of your
CookSurface) and the air intake grill
(installed in the base of your cabinet)
is not blocked or reduced, eg by
accumulated dust or other dirt.
Clean the mesh and grill with a small
brush if necessary.
Once every
year
Check the gas connection hose for any
sign of abrasion, kinking, or any other
damage.
If you are unsure as to
the condition of the gas
connection hose, contact
your Authorized Service
Center or Customer Care.

Melts and spills that require immediate attention
Anything that melts onto the ceramic glass surface or food spills with a high sugar content may
cause pitting of the ceramic glass surface if left there to cool. Using extreme caution, remove
these spills immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or cooktop scraper. Take care when
working around the hot surfaces and ensure you do not scratch the glass or damage the trim
rings or pan support pins. Examples of melts and spills requiring immediate attention include:
melted plastic wrap
melted aluminum foil
sugar, sugary syrups, jams and jellies
vegetables and vegetable water with a high sugar content eg peas, sweet corn, beet.
Cleaning the ceramic glass
For best results, do not let spills and stains become burnt onto the ceramic glass. Clean the
CookSurface after every use. Simply lower the cooled pan supports and the control dials and
wipe the CookSurface with a damp, soft cloth and mild detergent. A microfiber cloth is ideal for
this task. Most soiling is very easy to remove because the glass does not get as hot as an electric
ceramic glass cooktop. Soften stubborn stains under a soapy cloth.
Ceramic cooktop cleaner
Ceramic cooktop cleaner may be used to spot-clean stubborn stains. Follow the instructions on
the container. If you must use a razor blade scraper, take care not to damage the trim rings.
Important!
If cooktop cleaner residue is left on the trim rings, it can dry on and may cause the pan supports,
control dials and power button to get stuck. Be careful and wipe around the trim rings and not
over them.

16 Care and cleaning
Cleaning the pan supports (the pan support pins and burner head)
Important!
Do not wash pan supports in a dishwasher or use dishwashing machine detergent to clean these
parts as this may damage the easy-clean coating.
After reassembling any burner, always lower the burner before using the CookSurface to check it
has been reassembled correctly.
If food spills have burnt onto the pan supports, the supports may not lower when the control
dial is pressed and held for two seconds. This is not a fault. You need to remove and clean them.
To clean the pan support pins
1 Press the on/off power button to turn the CookSurface on.
2 Press the control dial to raise the pan supports.
3 Press the on/off power button to turn the CookSurface off.
4 Gently pull the pan support pins up and out. If food has become burnt onto the pins and the
surrounding ceramic glass, it may be necessary to gently twist the pin to remove it.
5 Soak the pins in warm water with a little hand dishwashing (or other mild) detergent. The pins
have an easy-clean coating. Harsh or abrasive cleaners should not be necessary and may damage
the coating.
6 Wipe with a soft cloth and dry thoroughly.
7 Carefully replace all the pan support pins correctly.
8 Press gently to clip into position.

Care and cleaning
To clean the burner head
1 Lift out the burner head and clean with a cloth or scourer. The burner head gets much hotter
than the pan support pins and for this reason it is not finished with an easy-clean coating. If
cooking splatter and spills get burnt onto the burner head, scrub with a mildly abrasive cleaner
and a soft cloth. Ceramic cooktop cleaner is suitable for this.
2 Replace the clean burner head.
3 Press the on/off power button to turn the CookSurface on.
4 Lower the pan supports before using to check they have been reassembled correctly (see Fig. 4).
If spilled or burnt food has stuck the pan supports in the ‘down’ position, soften the spill with a
damp, soapy, soft cloth and remove the food.
Cleaning the on/off power button and the control dials
Wipe these with a soft cloth and mild detergent. You can remove the control dials by pulling
them up and out. When replacing the dials, make sure you orientate them correctly.
