If burners show abnormalities, check and ensure the burner lid is on correctly, the flame spreader is positioned correctly and the burner is vertically aligned with the injector nipple. · Each burner flame remains lit when the respective control knob is rotated quickly from the HIGH to the LOW position. · The duplicate data label provided with this appliance is attached to an accessible and nearby surface for easy reference. · There are no leaks in the gas supply. We recommend conducting a full gas soundness check according to the requirements of AS/NZS 5601. Whenever any change to the installation is made that may affect gas soundness (e.g., adjustments involving any disconnection and reconnection), follow the below leak test procedure. Never use a naked flame to check for gas leaks! In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent or soap. Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and all gas control valves on the appliance are off. Using a brush or spray bottle, apply the solution to the gas line and each joint in the gas line, including any flexible hosing and regulator. Bubbling of the solution will indicate that there is a leak present. Retighten or reseal any joints that are leaking. If the leak persists, contact our after sales support centre for assistance.

Instructions

Before first use
· When your new gas cooktop has been professionally installed, please take the time to read this manual thoroughly to familiarise yourself with the appliance. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on pages 5­8.
· Clean the cooktop surface as described in the "Care and cleaning"section.
· Check and ensure the cooktop is securely plugged into an appropriate wall outlet and power is switched on to the outlet.

The cooktop
· The control panel at the side of the cooktop has four control knobs, one for each burner; the small diagram to the right of each knob (Fig. 14) illustrates which burner it controls.
· The following symbols will appear on the control panel, next to each control knob:
Black circle: Gas off
Large flame: HIGH (maximum) setting
Small flame: LOW (minimum) setting
· The minimum setting is at the end of the anticlockwise rotation of the control knob.
· All operation positions must be selected between the maximum and minimum position. Never set a knob to between the maximum and off position.

Fig. 14

Lighting and extinguishing a burner
· To light a burner, press down the control knob gently and turn it anticlockwise to the HIGH position. When the burner lights, keep the knob depressed for approximately 15 seconds to ensure it stays lit.
· Turn the knob to the required position, anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Do NOT set it between OFF and HIGH.
· After use, always turn the control knob fully clockwise to the gas off position.

NOTE: · If the burner has not lit after 15 seconds--or in the event of a burner flame
being accidentally extinguished--turn off the burner control and wait for at least one minute before reigniting it.
· You can use matches to light a burner in the event of a power failure.

Instructions (Cont.)
Flame failure feature · Each burner on this gas cooktop is fitted with a flame failure safety device,
which is designed to stop the flow of gas to the burner head in the event of the flame going out. To ensure the flame stays lit, you must hold down the control knob for approximately 15 seconds before releasing it. · Gas cooktops with a flame failure safety device (Fig. 15) have ignition spark electrodes (ignitors: A) and flame failure probes (thermocouples: B), which need to be kept clean for proper operation (refer to the "Care and cleaning" section).

Cooking on the gas cooktop

Pots and pans
· In order to avoid unnecessary energy use, it is important to use appropriately sized pots and pans for each burner (Table 2 and Fig. 18).

· Make sure your pot/pan has a flat base so that it sits on the trivet properly and does not rock (Fig. 19).
Fig. 19

· Use appropriately sized cookware for the burner and adjust the flame height so it heats the underside of the pot/pan. Having the flame too high will waste gas and possibly cause damage to the handle (Fig. 20).

· Make sure your pot/pan has a flat base so that it sits on the trivet properly and does not rock (Fig. 21).

· Position your pot/pan properly on the trivets above the burners. Do not use saucepans that overlap the boundaries of the cooktop, otherwise heat may get deflected towards the cooktop or benchtop, which could deteriorate these surfaces; see Fig. 21 for optimum placement.

· Only ever use the burners after placing pots and pans on them. Do not heat up any empty pots or pans.
· Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the cooktop.
· Preferably cover pots and pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat. When the contents start boiling, turn the knob down to the LOW position.
· Always switch off the burner before removing the pot/ pan.
· Do not place anything, for example a flame tamer or asbestos mat, between the pan and trivet as it may result in serious damage to the appliance (Fig. 22-A).
· Do not remove the trivet and enclose the burner with a wok stand as this will concentrate and deflect the heat onto the cooktop surface (Fig. 22-B).
· Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the trivet or deflect the flame onto the cooktop surface (Fig. 22-C).

Instructions (Cont.)

Safe cooking
· Do not use large cloths, tea towels or similar as the ends could touch the flames and catch fire.
· Use heat-resistant pot holders or oven mitts when handling hot cookware. · Do not let pot holders or oven mitts cove near open flames when lifting
cookware. · Take care not to let pot holders or oven mitts get damp or wet, as this
causes heat to transfer through the material quicker with the risk of burning yourself. · When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for hotplate cooking. · To minimise the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles towards the sides or centre of the cooktop without extending over adjacent burners. · When using other electrical appliances, ensure the cable does not come into contact with the appliance surfaces of the cooking appliance. · When boiling food, use as little water as possible to reduce cooking times. · Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking. · Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats. · Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting. · Foods to be fried should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. · Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is completely cool. · Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the appliance while it is in use. · Do not store perishable food, plastic items or aerosols above or below the appliance as these items may be affected by heat. · Do not store flammable materials near the appliance.
CAUTION!
· It is not recommended to use roasting pans, frypans or grill stones heated simultaneously on several burners because the resulting heat build-up may damage the appliance.
· To avoid scalding, do not touch the cooktop surface or trivets while in use and for some time afterwards: the surfaces are hot.

Other Useful Information
Care and cleaning
CAUTION! · Before cleaning the cooktop, it is recommended that you unplug the
appliance from the mains electricity supply if the power plug is accessible. · Make sure that all burners are switched off and the cooktop surface is
cool enough to touch before cleaning. · Do NOT use abrasive or harsh cleaning agents (such as scouring
powders, abrasive stones, wire or nylon brushes and so on) or sharp objects that may scratch the stainless steel cooktop surface. · Do NOT use acidic/alkali detergent, thinner, benzene or edible oils for cleaning the cooktop parts. · Only use a soft cloth or sponge, moistened with water and a mild detergent for cleaning the cooktop.
Cleaning the cooktop
To ensure food safety and keep the cooktop in good working order, clean it regularly after each use.
Stainless steel top plate · Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob surface is still
warm, make sure that the hob surface, trivets and hob burners have all cooled sufficiently before you attempt to touch them. · Regularly wipe over the top plate using a soft cloth, well wrung-out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Dry the cooktop with a clean, dry cloth after cleaning. · Thoroughly remove salty food residues or liquids from the hob as soon as possible to avoid the risk of corrosion. · Stainless steel parts of the appliance may become discoloured over time. This is normal because of the high temperatures they are exposed to. We therefore recommend using an appropriate stainless steel cleaner and polish regularly on the stainless steel surfaces. · The control knobs may be removed for thorough cleaning, if necessary, just pull them off the shaft. After cleaning, push them firmly back into position, taking care not to damage the seal.

· Gently wipe the ignition spark electrodes (Fig. 23: E) and flame failure probes (Fig. 23: F) with a well wrung-out cloth and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

· Before placing the burner back on the top plate, make sure that the injector is not blocked. Then refit all burner parts to their dedicated spaces on the cooktop, ensuring they are correctly in place. The hole in the ring of the flame spreader fits over the ignition spark electrodes. If it does not fit, you are trying to fit the burner body onto the wrong burner.

· To check that all parts are reassembled correctly, light the burners and allow them to dry out.
