build up of unburned gas.
• The air vents must be opened and well maintained.
• Whenever operating the appliance ensure that the gas cylinder is correctly connected to the appliance gas supply.
• When lighting any burner check that it has lit before you leave the appliance.
• When turning off a burner, do not leave the appliance until the flame has gone out.
Warning. All hob and burner flames should be predominately blue and without yellow tips.
Lighting the appliance
Hob, grill and Oven Ignition
Replacing the Battery
The battery for the ignition will usually last for
many months. If the ignition system doesn't work
you probably need to replace the battery.
The battery (1.5V AA size) is at the bottom rear
of the appliance. When you need to replace the
battery unscrew the battery cover by hand,
change the battery and replace the lid. Make
sure that the –ve end of the battery is held in the

Using the Oven
Shelf Positions
The oven has three shelf positions—top (for grilling), middle and lower.
Heat zones
When using the oven you will find that the top shelf of the oven cavity is hotter that the lower shelf. The oven temperature that you have
chosen will be on the middle shelf.
You may therefore have to adjust the temperature or cooking time depending on which shelf level you are using in the oven.
1. To remove the oven shelf pull it out
until it reaches the safety stop.
2. Slightly angle the shelf upwards and
pull out of the runners.
The oven is supplied with two removable oven shelf pan holder as standard.
Additional oven shelf pan holders are available as optional accessories.
Preheating
Important: when you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for at least 15 minutes (20 minutes when cooking large amounts of
food). Placing cold food in an oven that has not been pre-heated considerably reduces the cooking performance.
Oven thermostat
Immediately initiate repair or replacement of the thermostat if an abnormal drift of oven temperature occurs during cooking.
Oven
To Light Oven:
1. Open the oven door.
2. Push in the control knob and turn it to the maximum
oven setting. Keep the control knob pushed in and
press the ignition button immediately.
3. When the burner has lit, release the ignition button,
but keep holding in the control knob for 15 seconds
(to heat the thermocouple)
4. Release the control knob and then turn it to the re-
quired setting.
5. Wait until the burner is showing large flames.
6. Close the oven door.
WARNING : Press the ignition button immediately. If not pressed immediately then a build up of gas may cause
the flame to spread.
If the burner flame is accidentally extinguished during cooking, turn off the gas and wait at least one minute before attempting to re-ignite.
To turn off any burner (hob, grill and oven)
1. Push in the control knob and turn it to the off position. This is shown by a large dot.
Cooking
The oven is designed to accept standard and Gastronorm cooking trays which are available in a number of sizes and depths.
There are 3 shelf positions.

Yacht Galley Systems
GN Espace is a UK-based specialist galley company, whose innovative designs and integrated systems are now
seen as the benchmark for the galleys of modern cruising yachts.
Increasing numbers of the world’s leading yacht builders now specify GN Espace equipment for their galleys.
The superior build quality and high performance of the GN Espace marine cookers are at the core of these
galleys. The Waterstation sinks, our cookers and our other innovative galley storage equipment all come with
built-in fiddles, ensuring that everything stays exactly where you need it to. These systems have been designed
around the Gastronorm catering container, which forms the building block of our integrated systems.
These systems have been designed to transform the galley space into an ergonomically more functional and
significantly safer place to prepare and cook food whilst at sea.
Based around the Gastronorm container, a fundamental piece of equipment in professional catering
environments, we have designed a fully integrated cooking, food preparation and storage concept which provides
increased working space in confined quarters as well as greater flexibility, safety and convenience.
