CH311B BARBEQUE - INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Fig 1 Fig 2
The barbecue allows you to grill your food quickly. Using the control knob (Fig 1) on the front panel,
you can turn the heater on to cook faster or more slowly, according to the settings from 1 to 11. The
barbecue works as a grill by turning the knob to position 11. A slight click indicates that the thermostat
has been turned off. The heating coil soon becomes red hot.
This does not mean that you cannot get very good grilling results from the intermediate positions.
These positions are recommended for cooking delicate dishes, or for cooking food evenly overall, and
right through to the middle.
The lava rock in the tray is provided to absorb the drips of oil or grease that are produced during
cooking. It also accumulates heat during the start-up phase of the heater, and gives a more constant
grilling performance, which is very similar to that obtained from charcoal grilling.
Water can be put into the tray, instead of the lava rock. (We suggest a depth of about 3 cm or one
inch.) The presence of water in the tray eliminates unpleasant cooking smells, without reducing the
performance of the barbecue in any way.
To obtain the best results, we recommend preheating the lava rock for at least 10 minutes on position
1. This is particularly advisable when you turn on the equipment for the first time, because it allows you
to reduce the risk, during cooking, of the food absorbing smells that the heating coil produces when it is
first switched on.

4
CH311B BARBEQUE - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, cut off the electricity from the apparatus.
In order to give your equipment a long life, it is vital to thoroughly clean it all over, remembering the
following points:
§To obtain the best results, we recommend preheating the lava rock for at least 10 minutes on
position 1 (one). This is particularly advisable when you turn on the equipment for the first time,
because it allows you to reduce the risk, during cooking, of the food absorbing smells that the
heating coil produces when it is first switched on.
§The steel and/or painted parts must be cleaned using suitable products (available on the market)
which are not abrasive or corrosive. Avoid products based on chlorine (bleach, etc). Avoid leaving
acids or alkalis on the work surface (vinegar, salt, lemon-juice, etc.)
§Clean the cast iron grill by immersing it in hot water and washing up liquid. Do not under any
circumstances use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. powder products or metallic sponges).
Rinse and dry carefully.
§While cleaning the grill, handle it with care.
§Any grease deposits can be removed more easily by heating the grill for 5 or 10 minutes. Allow the
grill to cool, remove it, rinse and dry well with a clean cloth.
§Periodically, remove the fat deposits on the surface of the volcanic rocks by putting them in the
oven for high temperature pyrolysis. The same result can be obtained by turning the energy
regulator knob to the maximum setting for 5 or 10 minutes.

CH311B BBQ – INSTALLATION & ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
INSTALLATION
These instructions are intended to be used by a qualified installer, who will be responsible for the
installation, adjustment and maintenance according to the current Australian standards.
All operations must always be carried out with the equipment disconnected from the electricity.
POSITIONING
The appliance can be fitted into a working area as illustrated on the figure. Apply the seal supplied over
the whole perimeter of the working area.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Prior to carrying out the electrical connection, please ensure that:
•The cooktop characteristics are such as to follow what is indicated on the rating plate applied to the
bottom of the work-top.
•The cooktop is fitted with an efficient earth connection, following the current standards and law
provisions in force. The earth connection is compulsory in terms of the law.
Should there be no cable and/or plug on the product, If not use a suitable absorption material for the
working temperature as well, as indicated on the rating plate. Under no circumstance must the cable
reach a temperature above 50°C of the ambient temperature.
Should a direct connection to the network be required, it will be necessary to interpose an omnipolar
switch with minimum aperture between the 3 mm. contacts, dimensional to bear the plate load and it
must follow the standards in force (the yellow/green earth cable must not be interrupted by the switch).
The plug or omnipolar switch must be easily reached on the installed equipment.

23-4 Gentle
35-6 Slow
47-8 Medium
59-10 Strong
610-11 Intense
When the pilot lights are lit (Fig 2), they indicate: -
A - One or more heating elements are switched on.
B - The top temperature at the indicated spot is higher than 50ºC.
Some types of pilot lights will maintain some slight luminescence even after disconnection. This is quite
normal.
It is recommended to use cooking receptacles with a flat bottom which have the same diameter or are
slightly larger than that of the cooking zone (Fig 3).
WARNING!
§Avoid overflows of liquid. Once boiling point has been reached, or liquid is heated, reduce the heat
supply.
§Do not leave the heating elements on without receptacles on top or with empty pots or pans.
§At the end of cooking turn the knob to position 0 (zero).
§Never use the ceramic hob as a working surface. Sharp objects may scratch it.
§Preparation of food in aluminium or plastic dishes on hot cooking plates is not allowed. Do not
place any plastic objects or aluminium foils upon the cooktop surface.
§Do not place saucepan lids on the cooktop surface. Extreme pressure can build up while cooling
and cause the ceramic top to crack!
§The ceramic surface is very strong, however, it is not unbreakable. Breakage from excessive force
or impact may void warranty.
§Never use a cracked or broken ceramic hob. The hob may break or crack if an object with sharp
edges falls on it. The crack may be visible immediately or only after some time. Disconnect the
appliance from mains immediately in case any cracks are detected upon the glass ceramic surface.
§In the event of even a slight fracture on the cooking surface, disconnect the electric power supply
immediately and contact your nearest authorised Kleenmaid Service Agent on 1300 652 100.

CH311C CERAMIC - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Fig 4
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, cut off the electricity to the apparatus.
In order to give your equipment a long life, it is vital to thoroughly clean it all over, remembering the
following points:
§First remove large food bits and grease drops from the cooking surface with the special scraper
(Fig 4). The cooking surface must be cleaned and cared for regularly. Use only reliable and verified
cleansing agents, designed specially for ceramic-glass surfaces. Any attempt to use other
detergents may result in considerable damage, as they may be too invasive and damage the
surface or produce scratches. Under no circumstances should abrasive sponges or irritating
chemical detergents be used such as oven sprays or spot removers.
§Clean the cooktop surface only when cold or at least cooled down, except in case of spilled sugar,
strongly sweetened food, pieces of aluminium foil or plastic material which may have inadvertently
melted. In such case wipe the surface immediately and remove the sugar residues with a scraper
while the cooking zone is still hot. Failure to do so may cause the hotplate to be damaged beyond
repair.
§Regular cleaning is extremely simple. Usually it is enough to wipe the ceramic-glass surface with a
wet cloth and dry it with a dry napkin before and after use. This will protect the cooktop both before
use, by removing any dust and dirt particles that might produce scratches when moving the
cookware about, as well as after use, by maintaining it and preventing deterioration. If the ceramic-
glass surface is not properly cleaned it may soon lose its natural shine. We recommend you use
Kleenmaid Cerapol Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner (product code CCH) available from your nearest
Kleenmaid Store or by phoning 13 13 08.
§Never use sponges previously used for washing the dishes. They usually contain alkaline
substances that may result in discolouring the cooktop surface.

CH311F DEEP FRYER - INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Fig 1 Fig 2
The apparatus is switched on by turning the control knob (Fig 1) on the front that allows a temperature
to be set from 40 to 200 °C.
A signal light (Fig 2) comes on to show that the resistance is operating, and when it goes off it shows
that it has reached the required temperature. A second general light (Fig 2) always stays on when the
apparatus is operating. The fryer is equipped with a thermostat that constantly maintains the
temperature of the oil bath. Furthermore, a safety thermostat automatically goes into operation in case
of faulty working of the main thermostat, preventing the oil from reaching too high a temperature, about
220 °C. The use of this equipment is very simple, however, to obtain the best results, it is advisable to
follow these instructions:
WARNING!
§Before putting oil in for the first time, carefully clean the steel parts and the resistance, so as to
remove any residue left from manufacture.
§Never turn on the apparatus with the resistance turned out of the bowl.
§Never turn on the apparatus unless there is oil in the bowl.
§Always use vegetable oil suitable for frying: we do not recommend oil from assorted seeds or
sunflower.
§The quantity of oil contained in the bowl varies from a minimum of 2 litres to a maximum of 2,7
litres. If, during use, the oil level should drop below the minimum, fresh oil must be added. It is
advisable to add oil of the same type. The minimum and maximum levels are shown by two marks
cut into the vertical side of the bowl.
§The oil can be used several times, but we recommend it is filtered between one cooking and the
next, so as to eliminate deposits which can occur.
§It is best to change the oil very often, however, because, even if it is well filtered, small residual
particles can catch fire during cooking.
§Before putting the food into the fryer, check that is perfectly dry. Wait until the oil has reached the
required temperature.
§For frozen food, it is advisable to defrost it at a low temperature and then fry it at high temperature.
§In preparing certain dishes (fried potatoes) you will get the best results by precooking at a
temperature of 160 °C, and then subsequently cooking at 180 °C.
§During cooking, it is often necessary to add salt or flavourings. Avoid, if at all possible, doing this
directly into the fryer, because salt, by falling into the oil, has its quality reduced.
§In the case of a breakdown, before calling a technician, try resetting the safety thermostat, by
pressing the button visible, after having removed the oil bowl and unscrewed the safety plug on the
front, interior side.

CH311F DEEP FRYER - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, cut off the electricity from the apparatus.
In order to give your equipment a long life, it is vital to thoroughly clean it all over, remembering the
following points:
Avoid leaving acids or alkalis on the work surface (vinegar, salt, lemon-juice, etc.)
Allow the frying liquid to cool completely before emptying the frying liquid
Proceed as follows:
§Lift the heating element upwards, leave it to drip on the vat and dry it with kitchen roll.
§Remove the frying vat.
§Pour the frying liquid into an appropriate container and dispose of it according to current standards
for the disposal of exhausted oil.
§The deep fryer's stainless steel vat should be cleaned with a specific product that does not contain
chlorine-based abrasives, acid substances, or chlorine (bleach etc). We recommend Kleenmaid
Stainless Steel Liquid (product code CSSL) or Stainless Steel Pump Pack Cleaner (product code
CSSPP) available from your nearest Kleenmaid Store or by phoning 13 13 08.
§Rinse and dry the vat and basket thoroughly.
§Clean the deep fryer heating element with a non-scratch, non-abrasive sponge and detergent and
then rinse thoroughly.
§Replace the deep fryer vat into its working position. Lower the heating element into the vat.

CH311S SOLID ELEMENT - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To obtain a longer life of the product it is essential to carry out, at regular intervals, a carefully general
cleaning bearing in mind the following:
Cool the hotplates to at least 50°C before starting to clean them!
§Avoid leaving acid or alkaline substances (vinegar, salt, lemon-juice, etc.) on the top of the
cooktop.
§The appliance should be cleaned with warm water, liquid detergent and soft cloth. Never use
aggressive cleaners and sharp objects. Burned or dried food particles should be moistened with a
wet cloth and softened with an appropriate cleansing agent
§Stainless steel surfaces must be cleaned with special cleaners for stainless steel. We recommend
Kleenmaid Stainless Steel Liquid (product code CSSL) or Stainless Steel Pump Pack Cleaner
(product code CSSPP) available from your nearest Kleenmaid Store or by phoning 13 13 08.
§Apply a fine layer of cleaner with a dry, absorbent cloth to the dried and cooled surface. Rub in the
direction of the surface treatment. Stubborn stains should be removed with wet cloth and then
rubbed dry with a dry cloth.
§The hotplate rims are made of stainless steel and might assume yellow colour with time, because
of the temperature effect. This is a physical phenomenon, and it may be partly removed with the
appropriate metal-cleaning agents. Mild cleansing agents will not remove the yellow film, while the
aggressive abrasive cleaning accessories can cause scratches.
§The enamelled parts should be cleaned by means of suitable not abrasive or corrosive products.
Avoid chloride-base products (bleach, etc.)
§To maintain the appearance of hotplates you may use a few drops of special hotplate agent and
rub it in. Never apply butter, lard and the like, as it may provoke corrosion. We recommend
Kleenmaid Shine On Solid Hotplate Protector (product code CSH) available from your nearest
Kleenmaid Store or by phoning 13 13 08.
