Cleaning
Cleaning hob
❍Once the appliance is cold, clean it with a sponge and soapy
water. Remove any spills immediately. This will avoid
unnecessary effort later.
❍Allow burners and trivets to cool down before cleaning them.
❍The burners and trivets must be cleaned regularly to keep
them in good condition. This is done by submerging them in
soapy water and scrubbing them with a non-metal brush to
keep the ports and slots free from obstructions so they give a
perfect flame. Dry the burner caps and trivets whenever wet
or damp. Do not wash the burner caps and trivets in a
dishwasher.
❍After cleaning and drying ensure that the burner heads and
caps are replaced correctly on the burner body.
❍The high temperatures generated by using the wok burner
may cause the stainless steel hob of your hotplate to become
discoloured over time. THIS IS NORMAL. Clean the hob with
a product suitable for cleaning stainless steel.
❍LaGermania stainless steel polish is available from your
LaGermania retailer.
❍Never use abrasive products, sharp objects, steel scouring
pads, knives, etc., to remove stubborn food remains from
the hob surface, trivets, burners and oven interior.
❍Do not allow acidic products such as vinegar, lemon juice,
etc., to come into contact with the hob.
Cleaning oven interior
Clean the oven enamelled floor, wire shelves and shelf supports
with hot detergent suds.
It is recommended that oven interior be cleaned regularly as
excessive build-up of fat can become a fire hazard.
To clean the oven shelf supports
To remove the shelf supports remove the knurled knob either
side, lift the wire rack and swing forwards.

12
Upstand installation
The upstand is located at the top rear of the cooker
The upstand is fixed along the rear of the cooker hob. Fixing
points for locating the upstand are at either end of the hob.
1. Remove the upstand retaining brackets either side of the hob
by removing the top and rear fixing screws in each bracket.
2. Peel away protective film from the underside of the upstand
and locate onto the cooker top.
3. Line up the bracket holes with the upstand fixing holes.
Relocate the upstand brackets and secure with the retaining
screws.
4. Remove the remaining protective film from the upstand and
secure end caps using M4 CSK screws, one each end.

1. To operate the individual cooktop burners depress the
appropriate control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the spark
ignition symbol. Push to activate the electronic ignition.
2. Once the flame is established turn control kob to the desired
setting.

Cooktop burners adjustments
The control knob is used to adjust the flame of the gas burner.
‘High flame’ graphic = highest output.
‘Low flame’ graphic = lowest output.
Use ‘High flame” setting to bring the pan to the boil, then adjust
the flame to maintain the required pan temperature.
Burner flames should be clear blue, with no yellow tipping. If the
burners show any abnormality check that burner heads are
correctly located. If satisfactory performance can not be
obtained, contact SampfordIXL or the local gas utility. For service
contact number refer page 9. Please state to cooker model
number to the service agent. The model number is stated on the
data plate. The data plate is located on the inside of the oven
door, centre bottom. A copy of the data plate is also reproduced
on page 30 of this booklet.
Ventilation
The use of gas burners leads to the production of heat and
moisture in the kitchen. For this reason make sure that the room
is properly ventilated. Keep ventilation openings, such as
windows, open or provide a mechanical ventilation device (e.g.
a range hood or overhead exhaust fan).
Use of cooktop burners
For safety and economic gas usage you should always use the
correct pan on the correct burner. Flames should not protrude
beyond the base of the pan. You will save energy, time and
money by always placing the correct pan size on the correct
gas ring. Put lids on saucepans whenever practical.

results. Shelf 2 may also be used for grilling meats ( shelf 3 if
the meat is thick or has a high fat content).
Thermostat operation
The oven is equipped with a gas thermostat.
Its purpose is to keep the temperature at a
constant heat between 120°and 270°C. The
oven is fitted with electronic spark ignition
and a safety shut-off device.
Refer to the chart below for required °C
settings

seconds. This allows time for the flame control to operate
and the flame to remain alight.
3. If the flame extinguishes wait 5 minutes for the unburnt gas to
disperse and repeat the procedure.
4. Gently close the door.

and the flame to remain alight.
3. If the flame extinguishes wait 5 minutes for the unburnt gas to
disperse and repeat the procedure.
4. Gently close the door.
Cooking tips
❍Allow at least 15 minutes preheat time before cooking
commences to allow the interior to come up to the required
temperature. Refer to cooking chart on pages 18-19 for
approximate cooking temperatures, times and tray positions.
Personal experience will help determine any variations in
the values reported in the table. In any case, it is
recommended to follow the instructions of the specific recipe
used.
❍When baking cakes and pastries it is advisable to preheat
the oven to one gas mark higher than required. This will
compensate for heat loss when opening the oven door.
Reduce temperature to setting required once food is placed
in the oven.
❍Open door as little as possible during operation.
❍If necessary to cover food with foil or baking paper ensure
that the foil or paper is firmly secured.
❍Avoid using dark scone trays, cake tins or muffin trays. Light
coloured metal vessels will give more even browing. Dark
ones may cause scorching on the base.
❍For easy viewing and a more even cooking result bring the
dishes and trays forward to the front of the oven shelf.
❍For even heat circulation ensure that dishes and trays do not
touch each other or the sides of the oven.
❍Do not place foil, baking trays, dishes or any other items
directly on the base of the oven.
Note: When oven is operating the glass door will become hot.
