Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims. This
appliance shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions, local
gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, AS/NZS5601 and any other relevant statutory
regulations.
Data label.
The data label is located on the right-hand side front of the oven compartment, behind the
oven door. A duplicate data label is supplied to adhere to an accessible area next to the
appliance. Ensure that the gas supply is Universal LPG. This appliance is designed for use
with Universal LPG and should not be converted for use with any other type of gas.
Provision of Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of
combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated and in
accordance with AG5601 Installation Code. The installation must for adequate air supply for
combustion to the burners, safe removal of combustion products and avoidance of
accumulation of unburned gases.
Location
This appliance maybe installed in a kitchen/kitchen diner but NOT in a room containing a bath
or a shower. LP gas appliances must not be fitted below ground level. e.g. in a basement.
Choose a location free of draughts, open doors and clear of combustible materials and other
fire hazards. 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 made from a
suitable non-combustible material for a height of 150mm for the entire length of the hotplate.
WHERE THIS APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED IN MARINE CRAFT OR IN
CARAVANS, IT SHALL NOT BE USED AS A SPACE HEATER.
Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories and packing
in the grill and oven, including any surface protection film, i.e. plastic coating.
Clean all interior surfaces with hot soapy water to remove any residual protective
covering of oil and rinse carefully.
•The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons, without supervision.
•Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the
appliance.

OPERATION
Burner operation
The burners on this appliance have fixed aeration and no adjustment is required. The burners
should flame as follows: -
Universal LPG - Normally on lighting the flames may have yellow tips and this increases
slightly as the burner heats up.
1. Using the Hob Burners
Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn off
at gas cylinder/mains and contact the supplier.
2. Flame supervision: Each burner is controlled individually and is monitored by a
thermocouple probe. In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn
off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
3. To light: Push in the control knob and turn to full rate –large flame ( ). Hold a lighted
match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. It is necessary to hold
the knob depressed after the burner has ignited for approximately 10 - 15 seconds, to allow
the thermocouple probe to reach temperature, before releasing the knob. Should the flame
go out when the knob is released, the procedure should be repeated holding the knob
depressed for slightly longer.
4. For models fitted with Spark Ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be
ignited by depressing the ignition button, which is located on the fascia. If the burner has
not lit within 15 seconds the control knob should be released and the burner left for at least
1 minute before a further attempt to ignite the burner.
5. For simmering, turn the knob further anti-clockwise to the low rate position.
6. To turn off: Turn the control knob until the line on the control knob is aligned with the dot on
the control panel. Always make sure the control knob is in the off position when you have
finished using the hotplate burners.
•Although each burner will support pans from 10 to 22cm, care should be
taken not to overload the appliance as reduced performance may result.
•When using small pans, the flames should not spread beyond the base of
the pan as this will reduce the efficiency of the burner.
•Avoid old or misshapen pans as these may cause instability.
•The lid must be opened fully prior to using the hotplate burners.
•Glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn off the hotplate and allow it
to cool before closing the glass lid.
•Remove all spillage from the surface of the glass lid before opening.

7
OPERATION
Using the Electric Hotplate
Ensure the electricity is switched on.
The hotplate control is numbered from 1 to 6. To turn it on, rotate the knob either clockwise or
anti-clockwise to the required position. Position 1 is the coolest setting. To turn the hotplate off,
rotate the knob until the line or pointer on the knob lines up with the zero on the control panel.
The hotplate is a sealed construction and transfers heat through conduction. For maximum
efficiency a correctly sized pan with a flat heavy gauge base should be used. Pan size should
be the same or slightly larger than the hotplate (up to 1” / 2.5 cm oversize).
Before using your hotplate for the first time, we recommend that you prime and then season it.
To prime the Hotplate
Switch on the hotplate for a short period, without a pan, to harden and burn off the coating.
Use a medium to high setting for 3 –5 minutes. A non-toxic smoke may occur during this
process. Allow it to cool, then season.
To season the Hotplate
First heat the hotplate for 30 seconds on a medium setting, then switch off and allow the
hotplate to cool. Pour a minimal amount of unsalted vegetable oil onto a clean dry cloth or
paper towel and apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface. Wipe off any excess oil, and
then re-heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute, before switching off and allowing
cooling once more. The hotplate is then ready for use. Occasional seasoning will help to
maintain the Hotplate’s appearance.
•Depending on specification, your appliance may be fitted with a glass lid
shut-off system, which cuts off the power to all hotplate burners (gas and
electric) if the lid is closed.
•Ensure the glass lid is in the open and upright position before turning on
the hotplate burners.
•Not all models are fitted with the shut-off system.

8
OPERATION
Using the Grill
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn off
at gas cylinder/mains and contact supplier.
2. To light: Open door, push in the control knob and turn clockwise to full rate, large flame ( ).
Hold a lighted match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. The
burner should ignite, and the control knob should be held in for 10 -15 seconds before
release. If the burner goes out, repeat procedure holding control knob for slightly longer.
3. For models fitted with Spark Ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be
ignited by depressing the ignition button, which is located on the fascia. Ignition must be
carried out with the door open, and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds the control
knob should be released and the grill left for at least 1 minute before a further attempt to
ignite the burner.
4. On first use of the grill, it should be heated for about 20 minutes to eliminate any residual
factory lubricants that might impart unpleasant smells to the food being cooked. A non-toxic
smoke may occur when using for the first time so open any windows and turn on
mechanical ventilators to help remove the smoke.
5. Although the grill does heat up quickly, it is recommended that a few minutes preheat be
allowed.
6. Flame Failure Device (FFD): the grill burner is fitted with a flame sensing probe, which will
automatically cut off the gas supply in the event of the flame going out. In the event of the
burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
7. It is normal for the flames on this burner to develop yellow tips as it heats up.
8. A reversible grill pan trivet enables the correct grilling height to be achieved.
9. To turn off: turn the control knob until the line on the control knob is aligned with the dot on
the control panel. Always make sure the control knob is in the off position when you have
finished grilling.
•The grill MUST only be used with the door open.
•The heat deflector below the fascia should be pulled out prior to lighting
the grill.
•Never adjust the heat deflector position without using hand protection –
i.e. oven gloves.
•The control tap on this appliance operates both the Grill and Oven
burners. To ensure safe operation it is not possible to operate both
burners at the same time.
•The pan supplied with the appliance is multi functional, for use in grill or
oven.
•The handle can be removed or inserted whilst the pan is in use.
•Always remove the handle when the pan is in use.

OPERATION
Using the Oven
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected and turned on. In the event of a gas smell turn off
at gas cylinder/mains and contact the supplier.
2. To light the oven: Open door, push in the control knob and turn to full rate (Gas Mark 9,
240°C). Hold a lighted match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold.
The burner should ignite, and the control knob should be held in for 10 -15 seconds before
release. If the burner goes out, repeat procedure holding control knob for slightly longer.
3. For models fitted with Spark Ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be
ignited by depressing the ignition button located on the fascia. Ignition must be carried out
with the door open, and if the burner has not lit within 15 seconds the control knob should
be released and the oven left for at least 1 minute before a further attempt to ignite the
burner.
4. Place the oven shelf in the required position and close the door.
5. Although the oven does heat up quickly, it is recommended that 10 minutes preheat be
allowed. The oven should be up to full temperature in about 15-20mins.
6. To turn off: turn the control knob until the line on the control knob is aligned with the dot on
the control panel.
7. Shelf: The shelf has been designed to allow good circulation at the rear of the oven. A
raised bar at the rear of the shelf prevents trays or dishes contacting the back of the oven.
To remove a shelf, pull forward until it stops, raise at front and remove.
Oven Temperature Control
The temperature in the oven is controlled by a thermostatic gas tap and is variable over the
range 130°C to 240°C. Approximate temperatures for the settings on the control knob are
shown in the table below. The temperatures indicated refer to the centre of the oven and at any
setting the oven will be hotter at the top and cooler towards the base.
The variation between top and centre, and centre to bottom is approximately equivalent to one
gas mark. Good use can be made of the temperature variation in several dishes requiring
different temperatures may be cooked at the same time. In this way maximum benefit can be
obtained from the gas used to heat the oven.
Care should be taken not to overload the oven, allow adequate spacing to ensure free
circulation of heat. When roasting with aluminium foil ensure the foil does not impair circulation
of heat or block any oven flue outlet.

OPERATION
Do's and Don'ts
DO Read the user instructions carefully before first use of the appliance.
DO Allow the oven to heat before using for the first time, in order to expel any smells
before the introduction of food.
DO Clean the appliance regularly and remove spills as soon as they occur.
DO Always use oven gloves when removing food shelves and trays from the oven.
DO Check that controls are in the off position when finished.
DO NOT Allow children near the cooker 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 oven trays or base.
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.
DO NOT Put heavy objects onto open grill and oven doors.
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. Universal LPG 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
We recommend an annual service by an authorised service agent to maintain efficient
appliance performance. In between annual service the appliance needs little maintenance
other than cleaning.
All parts should be cleaned using warm soapy water, do not leave wet cloths, cleaning pads,
cleaning products or other dirt to dry on the appliance as it can cause pitting or staining of the
surfaces. 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
Any of the following are considered abnormal operation and may require servicing.
•Yellow flames (Slight yellow tipping of flames is normal).
•Sooting of cooking utensils.
•Burners not igniting properly.
•Burners failing to remain alight
•Burners extinguished by cupboard doors.
