Operation

The burners on this appliance have fixed
aeration and no adjustment is required. The
burners should flame as follows:
Propane: The flames should burn quietly with
a blue/green colour with no sign of yellow tips.
Butane: Normally, on initial lighting, a small
amount of yellow tipping will occur. This then
increases slightly as the burner heats up.

Using the Hotplate Gas Burners

Ensure that the glass lid is open before
!
turning on the burners.
Glass lids may shatter when heated.
Turn off all burners before shutting the
lid.
The glass lid has a tendency to snap shut
towards the lowered position. Make sure all
fingers are removed from the appliance when
closing the lid.
Remove all spillages from the glass lid before
opening.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected
and turned on. In the event of a gas
smell turn off at gas cylinder/mains and
contact supplier.
2. Flame supervision: each burner is
controlled individually and is monitored
by a thermocouple probe. In the event
of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control
and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner
for at least one minute.
3. To light: push in the control knob and turn
to full rate–large flame (
by depressing the ignition button, which
is located on the fascia. It is necessary
to hold the knob depressed after the
burner has ignited for approximately
10–15 seconds, to allow the thermocouple
probe to reach temperature, before
releasing the knob. Should the flame
go out when the knob is released, the
procedure should be repeated holding the
knob depressed for slightly longer.
4. If the burner has not lit within 15 seconds
the control knob should be released and
the burner left for at least 1 minute before
a further attempt to ignite the burner.
5. For simmering, turn the knob further
anti-clockwise to the low rate position.
6. To turn off: turn the control knob until
the line on the control knob is aligned
with the dot on the control panel. Always
make sure the control knob is in the off
position when you have finished using the
hotplate burners.
• Each burner will support pans from Ø10
to Ø22cm; care should be taken not to
overload the appliance as performance
may be reduced.
