Use and Care Ignition plug Automatic burner ignition is provided by a ceramic 'plug' and a metal electrode (Ignition Candle - E on page 6). Periodically clean these parts of the hob thoroughly. In addition, to avoid ignition difficulties, check that the cavities in the burner are not obstructed. To remove deposits from the burner cavities, remove the burner caps.
Use and Care Routine maintenance Have the condition and efficiency of the gas pipe and the pressure regulator (if installed) checked periodically. If anomalies are found, do not repair components but have the faulty component replaced. To ensure good performance and safety, the gas regulator taps must be greased periodically.
Installation Building into kitchen benches These hobs are designed for installation in kitchen benches. When installed into a corner, the walls or panels above the benchtop must be at least 155mm away from the edge of the hob to ensure adequate air circulation to the burners.
Installation Connection to the gas supply There are two ways to make the connection to the main gas line: A. The hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe as specified in AS/NZS 5601 table 3.1. B. The hotplate can be connected with a Flexible Hose, which complies with AS/NZS 1869 (AGA Approved), 10mm ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2m long and in accordance with AS/NZS5601.
Installation Electrical connection This appliance is designed to operate on a power supply voltage of 220-240V, single phase and is fitted with a 10A, 3 pin plug. Before making the connection, make sure that: 1) The electrical system is able to withstand the load of the appliance (see data label).
Installation Before leaving When the installation is complete, always check for gas leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame to make this check. Ignite all burners on high flame to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe each burner to ensure they ignite completely at all ports and that the flame is stable.
