SAFETY INFORMATION
The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless it is
done under the supervision of a responsible adult.
Do not allow children to play or tamper with the appliance.
This model requires a low pressure 2,8 kPa LPG Regulator that complies with the
requirements of SANS 1237. Ensure that you obtain the correct regulator for the type of
cylinder used with the appliance. Cylinders suitable for use with the appliance are 9kg or
greater. DANGER! Do not connect the appliance directly to a cylinder with a hose.
Where a flexible hose is used the hose must comply with the requirements of SANS
1156-2. The hose must be clamped with a suitable hose clamp at both ends. Note: The
hose and regulator are not supplied with the Univa Hobs. Contact your local gas dealer
to purchase the correct hose and regulator.
These appliances are fitted with a flame failure device on the cooker burners and
therefore may be connected to a fixed pipework system.
The hose and the seal on the regulator must be checked for wear or damage before
every use and before connecting to the gas cylinder.
Ensure the appliance is used away from flammable materials. Minimum safe distances
are: 600mm above the appliance and 500mm around the appliance.

any sources of ignition, such as naked flames and away from other people.
Keep gas cylinders away from heat and flame.
If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), check for a gas leak.
Before testing for a leak first check that the regulator seal is in place and in good
condition. Check that the hose clamps on the regulator and the appliance are in
place and securely tightened. Examine the hose for signs of splitting or any
other type of damage or wear. Replace if in doubt.
When satisfied that the regulator, clamps, and hose are all in working order,
now test for a leak. Do not try to detect leaks using a flame, only use soapy
water.
Connect the cylinder to the appliance, open the cylinder valve and with the
appliance valves in the closed position, check for a gas leak by brushing all the
connection joints with soapy water. If there is visible bubbles, there is a gas
leak. Immediately tum off the gas supply by closing the control valve on the gas
3

cylinder first and then the appliance valve. Check that all the connections are
securely tightened. Re-check with soapy water.
If a gas leak persists, return the product to your gas dealer for inspection and/or repair.
In the event of a gas leak or gas smell in the house or room in which the appliance is
installed, close the isolation or emergency, shut off valve and open all the doors and
windows to ventilate the area. Do not use any device with a flame, or turn any electrical

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER
This appliance may only be installed by a LP Gas installer registered by SAQCC Gas, the
government appointed registering body for all gas installers. The appliance must be
installed in accordance with the requirements of SANS 10087-1 and any fire department
regulations and/or local bylaws applicable to the area. If in doubt, check with the
relevant authority before undertaking the installation. Upon completion of the
installation, you are required to fully explain and demonstrate to the user the
operational details and safety practices applicable to the appliance and the installation.
•This appliance requires a gas supply pressure of 2,8 kPa. A regulator that complies with
SANS 1237 must be installed.
•The appliance has been designed specifically for use with LPG and may not be used
with town’s Gas or natural Gas.
Read these instructions carefully before commencing with the installation.
• The LP Gas hobs covered by this instruction manual are for domestic use only and may
not be installed or used for commercial applications.
It is important to note that the gas hob is an un-fuelled gas appliance and as such it
may only be installed in a well-ventilated area. It uses oxygen, and lack of ventilation
may cause oxygen depletion which could endanger the life of the occupants of the
area in which the gas hob is installed.
• The surface in which the gas hob is mounted and installed shall not be less than 30mm
thick and shall be of a heat resistant non-combustible material.
•It is essential that the cut out in the mounting surface as shown in Fig 1 and a
minimum clearance of 300mm on both sides of the hob be established. For reference,
use the cardboard template that is supplied with the appliance to aid in placing the cut
out in the correct position on the mounting surface.
• If a shelf is fitted in the space below the hob, it is important that a minimum space of
150mm below the bottom of the hob is observed.
•If the hob is installed over an oven fitted in the space below the worktop, then a rigid
pipe shall be used to supply the gas. A flexible hose is not permitted under these
circumstances.
•The gas supply pipeline must be accessible over its complete length. This is particularly
important where a flexible hose is used.
• All joints must be checked for leaks after installation and before use. To check for
leaks, apply a soapy water solution with a brush or spray all the joints in the system
with the gas supply turned on. Make sure the burner control valves are in the OFF
position when doing this.

Aperture Size: 280mm x 490mm
• The gas connection may be either:
1. A mechanical compression gas fitting using a rigid pipe. Note that water fittings are
not allowed.
2. A mechanical fitting using a flared fitting using a rigid pipe
3. A hose connection using a flexible hose clamped to the LPG Inlet Pipe (See Fig 2)
4. A rigid metal gas supply pipe is the preferred method. If the installation makes the
use of a rigid pipe difficult, then the maximum length of a flexible hose allowed for
1,5 metres. When using flexible hose ensure there is no contact with hot surfaces.

Fig. 3 and Fig 4. Burner assembly shows a burner located over the jet assembly and
next to the insulated igniter post and thermos-coupler sensor (Flame Failure device).
When removing and replacing the burner, ensure not to damage igniters or thermo-
couplers. When removing and replacing the burner heads note the original positions to
ensure it is correctly placed. Take care when cleaning the hob. The hob is fitted with a
Flame Failure device. This is a safety feature in the event of a loss of flame on any
burner, the gas supply will shut down.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
The gas hob is an un-fuelled appliance and it’s important from a safety perspective to
supply fresh air into the room in which the appliance is used. It is recommended that
this is achieved by means of a permanent opening such as an air brick, or an opening
window that is kept in an open position whilst the appliance is being used.
Indirect ventilation is also allowed by taking air from rooms adjacent to the one to be
ventilated.
USING THE GAS HOB
When cooking always use the burner that suits the pot size. For the most effective use
of the burners use the recommended pot sizes indicated below:
•Semi Rapid Burner: 100mm-220mm diameter
•Dual Wok Burner: 220mm-260mm diameter
Figure.3
Figure.4
8

This will ensure that you will achieve the best cooking efficiency. If the flame appears
to extend up the sides of the pot, either place the pot on a larger burner, or reduce the
flame height by adjusting the required burner control knob. The rapid burner is ideal
for simmering.
IGNITING THE BURNERS
•The power for the automatic spark ignition is provided by a Type D 1,5V dry cell
battery (see Fig 5). It is recommended to replace the battery every 6 months. The
battery box is situated on the underside of the hob at the front edge. It has a hinged lid
for easy access.
•To ignite the burners, push in and turn the control knob of the burner you wish to
ignite in an anti-clockwise direction to the mid position. (see Fig.6) This will generate
the automatic ignition spark causing the burner to ignite.
•Note that each burner is fitted with a flame failure sensor which will shut off the gas
supply if the burner flame goes out. After igniting the burner hold the control knob in
pressed position for 5-10 seconds to allow the flame failure sensor to function
correctly, If the flame goes out when the knob is released, repeat the procedure and
hold the control knob in for a few more seconds.
•Repeat the above process to ignite the other burners as required.
•To adjust the flame to the required level, turn the burner control knob further in an
anti-clockwise direction to reduce the flame. If turned fully in this direction, the flame
will continue to burn at the simmer position. Turning the control knob back to the mid
position will give the maximum flame level.
•Turning the control knob in a clockwise direction from the mid position will again
reduce the flame level and if the knob is turned fully in a clockwise direction to the off
position it will shut down the burner. (see Fig.6)

IMPORTANT!
Make sure that all control knobs are in the OFF position when the cooker is not in use
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Close off gas supply at the cylinder
Extinguish all naked flames
Do not operate any electrical appliances
Ventilate the area
Check for leaks as detailed in this manual
Do not tamper or modify the appliance or regulator
Should the flame not appear to be burning correctly, close off gas supply at the
cylinder and seek advice from the dealer or service center
Ventilation in the room is vital for the effective performance and safety of Univa gas
appliances
BURN-BACK (FIRE IN BURNER TUBE OR CHAMBER)
In the event of a burn-back, where the flame burns back to the jet, immediately turn the
gas supply off at the control valve on the panel. After ensuring the flame is extinguished,
wait for I minute and re-light the appliance in the normal manner. Should the appliance
again burn back, close the control valve, and call a service technician. Do not use the
appliance again until the service technician has declared that it is safe to do so.
DO NOT TEST CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS WITH A NAKED FLAME!
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•Do not use any abrasive cleaning products on the hob as this will scratch the
surface finish. It is normal practice to remove the pot grids for cleaning and to use a
hot soapy water solution to remove any spillage residues.
•There are no pre-set service or maintenance intervals for this appliance. If the
appliance is cleaned after every use, it should give years of trouble free service
without needing any repairs or servicing.
•Use only genuine Univa spares. These are available from your local gas supplier or
directly from the distributor. The contact details for the distributor are on the back
page of this booklet.
