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
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 ( ). Light the hob
by depressing the ignition button, which
FITTED EQUIPMENT – The Caprice Cooker
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.
• The following pan sizes are the maximum
we recommend:
• Electric hotplate: - Ø180mm (dual fuel
burner is only)
• Auxiliary burner: - Ø200mm
• Semi-rapid burner: 2 x Ø200mm or 1 x
Ø220mm with 1 x Ø180mm
• When using small pans the flames should
not spread beyond the base of the pan
as this will reduce the efficiency of the
burner.
• Avoid old or misshapen pans as these may
cause instability.
