INTRODUCTION
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the local, national and European
regulations in force. Particular attention shall be given to the requirements regarding
ventilation. Read the instructions before installing or using the appliance
The appliance is designed for either high or low level installations. Failure to install the
appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims and lead to prosecution.
Please refer to the methods of installation within this handbook.
Our policy is one of continuous development and improvement. Specifications and
illustrations may change subsequent to publication.
Provision Of Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in a
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated, keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor
hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example
opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present. The room containing the appliance should have an
air supply in accordance with local, national and European standards.
IMPORTANT
This appliance is suitable for use with LPG and should not be used on any other gas. The
following gas pressures should be used.

Position
This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion
and in a manner that will prevent the accumulation of unburnt gas. When in use ensure
that air vents are not inadvertently blocked or shut off.
The location should ensure convenience of operation and service. Any adjoining wall
surface situated within 200mm from the edge of any hob burner must be a suitable non-
combustible material. Any combustible construction above the hotplate must be at least
500mm above the top of the burner and no construction shall be within 450mm above the
top of the burner.
IMPORTANT
•THIS APPLIANCE IS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM
GAS (LPG) AND SHOULD NOT BE USED ON ANY OTHER GAS.
•USE ONLY THE GAS PRESSURES SPECIFIED ABOVE

INSTALLATION
A cut-out should be prepared in the worktop, see appropriate appliance diagram. Heat
barriers must be fitted to the front and back edges of the cut-out as shown on section A-A.
The appliance should be fixed in position using countersunk woodscrews fitted through the
pan rest clips as shown.
MODELS 756/854F/H250F - A minimum depth of 185mm from the top of the worktop
surface must be provided for the separate grill compartment. The front of the cupboard
should be cut-out as shown – see installation details. Slide the grill box into place and fix it
to the sides of the cupboard cut-out with 2 screws on each side.
MODELS H200F/H400F - A minimum depth of 60mm from the top of the worktop surface
must be provided for the hotplate
A direct distance of 200mm must exist between the edge of the appliance burners and any
combustible material, unless protected by a layer of non-combutible material. All
combustible materials such as curtains and shelves must be kept well clear of the
appliance. Any fitments such as a cupboard above the unit must have a minimum
clearance of 500mm between the fitment and the top of the Panrest.
In the case of appliances that do not have grills fitted, the underside of the appliance must
be shielded. It is recommended that the shield be fabricated from non-combustible
material, but if the enclosure is manufactured from combustible material, then a minimum
air space of 100mm must exist between the material and the lowest part of the appliance.
This air space MUST be well ventilated.
Appliances fitted with a grill require that a grill compartment be created below the cut-out
as shown – see installation details. The compartment must be completely lined with a non-
combustible material such as aluminium or stainless steel. The grill compartment must
have ventilation holes at the compartment floor level and additionally include an escape
route to the outside to prevent the accumulation of unburnt gasses. Any cabinets beneath
the grill compartment must be sealed to prevent the ingress of unburnt gas.
Connection
An 8mm gas inlet point is provided on the underside of the appliance. It is recommended
that the appliance be connected by copper tubing, a rubber connection must not be used.
After connection the appliance must be tested for soundness.
It is important that the regulator should be set to the correct pressure for the type of gas
being used. Excessive pressure must not be permitted.

6
INSTALLATION
If the flame on either the top burners or the grill show a tendency to lift, it is probable that
the line pressure is too great. Should there be excessive yellow tips (resulting in sooting)
then it is probable that the line pressure is too low and, in either case, the burners should
not be used until the line pressure has been checked.
This appliance is fitted with the following injectors:-
BURNERS 0.62mm 1.5kW
GRILL 0.62mm 1.5kW
The burners on this appliance have fixed aeration and no adjustment is required.
Depending on the gas being used, the burners should flame as follows:-
Propane - The flames should burn quietly with a blue/green colour with no sign of
yellow tips.
Butane - Normally on initial lighting, a small amount of yellow tipping will occur and
then slightly increases as the burner heats up.
IMPORTANT
•After installation the appliance MUST be tested for soundness
•Test ALL burners on high and low flame for flame stability.
•The gas supply input pressure MUST not rise or fall significantly from
nominal when ALL appliances connected to the supply are operated
simultaneously. If NOT installed to the manufacturers instructions detailed
herein, we the manufacturer can not be held responsible for any problems
that occur, or poor performance that is perceived/witnessed.

USER'S INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Hob Burners
Each burner is controlled individually and is monitored by a flame failure sensing device.
The respective knob positions are shown
OFF HIGH RATE LOW RATE
To light the burner, depress and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the full rate position, apply
a light to the burner or press the ignition button if fitted. On models with the flame sensing
device it is necessary to hold the knob depressed during ignition and for approximately
fifteen seconds after the burner has lit to allow the probe to reach temperature. Should the
flame go out when the knob is released, the procedure should be repeated holding the
knob depressed for slightly longer. If required the knob can be turned further anti-
clockwise to the simmer position. To turn the burner off, rotate the knob fully clockwise
until the dot on the knob lines up with the dot on the fascia.
Using the Grill
On models fitted with a grill, control of the burner is identical to the hob burners. Although
the grill does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a few minutes preheat be allowed.
The grill pan should be left in position to protect the base lining and the grill door MUST be
left open while the grill is in use.
A reversible grill pan trivet enables the correct grilling height to be achieved.
Fast Toasting Trivet in high position
Grilling Sausages Trivet in high position
Grilling Steak/Bacon Trivet in high position
Grilling Chops, etc Trivet in low position
Slow Cooking Trivet removed
Do's And Don'ts
DO read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for the
first time.
DO allow the burners to heat before using for the first time, in order to expel
any smells before the introduction of food.
DO clean the appliance regularly.
DO remove spills as soon as they occur.
DO check that controls are in the off position when finished.
DO NOT allow children near the appliance when in use. Turn pan handles away
from the front so that they cannot be caught accidentally.
DO NOT allow fats or oils to build up in the base of the hotplate.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surfaces of the
appliance.
DO NOT under any circumstances use the oven as a space heater.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
Leaks
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder
IMMEDIATELY.
•Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes.
•Do not operate electrical switches.
•Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape.
•Propane gas is heavier than air, any gas escaping will therefore collect at low level.
The strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be
detected. Check that the gas is not escaping from an unlit appliance.
•Never check for leaks with a naked flame, leak investigation should be carried out
using a leak detector spray.
Maintenance
This appliance needs little maintenance other than cleaning. All parts should be cleaned
using warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or cleansing powders. When cleaning the burner
ring it is essential to ensure that the holes do not become blocked.
The control knobs are a push fit and can be removed for cleaning. They are
interchangeable without affecting the sense of operation.
On units fitted with battery spark ignition, when the time taken for spark generation
becomes extended, the battery should be renewed with a suitable make of long life
battery.
