5.2 Installation Options
This gas stove offers versatile installation as either a tabletop unit or an embedded cooktop, allowing for flexible placement in your kitchen or outdoor cooking area.
Image: This diagram illustrates the overall dimensions of the gas stove (730mm width, 410mm depth) and the recommended cutout dimensions for embedded installation (710/730mm width, 335-360mm depth, 150mm height).
Image: This image demonstrates the two installation methods: 'Embedded' where the stove is flush with the countertop, and 'Desktop Stove' where it sits on top of the counter. Embedded installation saves space, while desktop use allows for direct placement.
5.3 Gas Connection
Gas connection should only be performed by a qualified technician in accordance with local codes and regulations. Ensure the gas supply is turned off before making any connections. Use the provided hose and hose buckle for a secure connection to the gas source.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Ignition
To ignite a burner:
- Ensure the gas supply is open.
- Push down and turn the corresponding control knob counter-clockwise to the 'Ignite' position.
- You will hear a clicking sound as the pulse igniter sparks. Hold the knob down for a few seconds after the flame ignites to allow the thermocouple to heat up and activate the flameout protection device.
- Release the knob. If the flame goes out, repeat the process.
Image: This image visually represents the pulse ignition process, showing a blue flame igniting from the burner, indicating successful ignition.
6.2 Heat Control
Once ignited, you can adjust the flame intensity by turning the control knob. Turn it further counter-clockwise for a higher flame and clockwise for a lower flame. The stove's design allows for precise heat control to suit various cooking needs, from high-heat stir-frying to low-heat simmering.
Image: This image illustrates two distinct flame types: a strong, wide flame suitable for 'Stir Fry' and a smaller, concentrated flame ideal for 'Soup Over Low Heat', demonstrating the stove's versatility in heat output.
Image: This diagram details the 'Split Burner Full Three-Dimensional Air Intake Design', highlighting components like the All Copper Firearm, Alloy Retaining Ring, All Copper Fire Cover, and Alloy Steel Plate. This design promotes concentrated fire, full combustion, energy saving, and low carbon emissions.

The lower image provides a detailed view of the 'Pulse Ignition Needle' (white ceramic) and the 'Pure Copper Thermocouple Flameout Protection' sensor (gold-colored tip), which ensures safety by cutting off gas if the flame extinguishes.
7. Maintenance and Cleaning
7.1 Cleaning the Tempered Glass Panel
The tempered glass panel is designed for easy cleaning. After use, allow the stove to cool completely. Wipe the surface with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive glass cleaner can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass.
7.2 Burner Maintenance
Regularly clean the burner caps and grates. These can be removed and washed with warm, soapy water. Ensure they are completely dry before placing them back on the stove. Periodically check the burner ports for any blockages and clean them with a small brush or wire if necessary to maintain optimal flame performance.
