ventilated area. Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability
claims and lead to prosecution.
Read these instructions before installing and using the appliance.
IMPORTANT : This cooker is suitable for use with both propane and butane gas with the
appropriate regulator fitted. Please note that the two gasses have different burning
characteristics and are affected by the ambient temperatures. There will be a performance
variation for the cooker depending on the gas type used and ambient temperature ie. Butane is
not recommended for use in colder climates.

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 front of the appliance. When you need to replace the
battery unscrew the battery cover by hand, change the battery and replace the lid.
You can light the burners with a match if needed.
Using the hob
Heat control
The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can
adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings.
Burner sizes
Depending on the model the hotplate has two burner sizes to suit different types of cooking:
Rapid (Large) –large pots
Semi Rapid (Normal) - use for everyday cooking.
Auxiliary (small) burner - use for simmering food such as soups and stews.
If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all hotplate control knobs off and make sure
the hotplate burner parts have been replaced correctly.
