3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully remove the gas stove from its packaging. Inspect the appliance for any damage. Before installation, verify that the bottom of the gas stove, the air inlet adjusting plate, and the burner components are correctly aligned. If any misalignment is observed, contact customer service before proceeding.

3.2 Gas Source Selection

This gas stove is compatible with both Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Natural Gas (NG). It is crucial to ensure that the stove is configured for the specific gas source available in your home. Incorrect gas source usage can be dangerous and will void the warranty. Refer to the product label for the configured gas type.

3.6 Gas Connection

Connect the gas supply hose to the stove's gas inlet. Secure the connection using the provided hose buckle. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free. A qualified technician should perform this step.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Ignition

1. Ensure the gas supply is open.
2. Push down and turn the desired burner's control knob counter-clockwise to the "Ignite" position. You will hear a clicking sound as the pulse igniter sparks.
3. Once the flame ignites, continue to hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and activate the flame failure safety device.
4. Release the knob. If the flame extinguishes, repeat the process.

4.2 Flame Adjustment

After ignition, you can adjust the flame intensity by rotating the control knob. Turn clockwise for a lower flame (slow fire) and counter-clockwise for a higher flame (nine fires). The stove is designed for precise flame control.

Image 4.1: Flame Patterns.

This image displays two distinct flame patterns from the gas burners. The top section shows a powerful 'Nine Fires' setting, indicating high heat output with multiple flame jets. The bottom section shows a 'Slow Fire' setting, demonstrating a lower, more controlled flame suitable for simmering or gentle cooking.

4.3 Timer Function

The stove features a digital timer for each burner, allowing you to set cooking durations. The display shows "Left Timing" and "Right Timing" for independent control.

1. To activate the timer, use the dedicated timer controls on the stove panel.
2. Press the "TIME Decrease -" button to reduce the set time or "TIME Increase +" to extend it.
3. Once the set time elapses, the burner will automatically turn off.
