IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
Be sure to have the installer show you how and where to turn off the gas and electrical
supply.
Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide.
To avoid risk of burns and/or fire keep loose clothing, pot holders or any other flammable
materials well clear of the burner flame.
Always use a pot holder when removing cookware from the cooktop. Do not use wet or
damp pot holders as these can cause steam burns. Do not use towels or similar cloths for
removing cookware.
Use cookware of the appropriate size and construction for the type of cooking. Cookware
must be matched to the size of the cast iron grate.
While deep frying 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.
Turn the pot handles to the side or the back of the cooktop away from the reach of children.
Handles should not be positioned over adjacent burners.
Always check that the control knobs are in the 'off' position when you have finished cooking.
Light each burner before placing cookware over the burner. Turn each burner off before
removing cookware.
Keep ventilation filters clean to avoid grease fires.
Cookware should be placed carefully on the burner and balanced on the grate.
While using the cooktop, surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns.
Do not leave children alone or unattended near the cooktop. Never allow children to stand,
sit or play near, on or with the cooktop.
Keep any items that may be of interest to children away from the vicinity of the cooktop.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Do not use the cooktop to heat unopened food containers, such as cans. This will cause the
container to burst and potentially result in injury.

ENGLISH
OPERATIONAL
Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result.
Do not store or use flammable materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of the cooktop, or any other appliance.
Do not operate the burner without all burner parts in place.
Always keep flammable wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.
For safety reasons the burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.
In the interest of personal safety, this gas cooktop must not be used as a space heater.
Do not stand on this gas cooktop.
MAINTENANCE
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate near the cooktop.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Unplug the cooktop from the electrical supply and turn off the gas supply at the
shut-off valve before servicing this appliance.
Inspirati n
Make an easy lemon and wine sauce to drizzle over fish or steamed vegetables. In a pan
reduce a cup of white wine to about /2 its original volume. Then whisk in lemon juice, butter
and some finely chopped dill or chervil.
Handy Hint
Brush meat not the griddle with infused oil or olive oil, this adds flavor as well as helping to
prevent splatter.

The sleek minimalist design of our cooktops lets you create the kitchen of your
dreams Every model is constructed from hard wearing materials right down to
the control knobs which are cast from solid metal

With five burners to utilize, Fisher & Paykel’s gas cooktops provide a very
versatile cooking surface Precise flame control from varying sized burners
delivers the flexibility needed for low simmering and intense frying

Another innovation from Fisher & Paykel is the (patent pending) design of the
center grate Simply reverse the grate from one side to the other depending on
the cookware being used One side provides a completely flat surface while the
other has been specifically designed to support a wok
