Operating Instructions
• Ensure that the gas cylinder is turned on
• In the event of a gas smell turn off at the cylinder and
contact your Thetford.
• The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room in which it
is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated,
keep natural ventilation holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor
hood.)
• Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for
additional ventilation, for example opening a window,
or more effective ventilation , for example increasing
the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
The Linear Hob
Hotplate 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 that all ngers are
removed from the appliance when closing the lid.
Each burner is controlled individually and is
monitored by a ame supervision device. In the
event of the burner ames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do
not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least
one minute. The respective knob positions are
shown.
To light the burner, press in and turn the knob anti-
clockwise to the full rate position and press the ignition
button located on the front of the oven control fascia. It
is necessary to hold the knob depressed during ignition
and for approximately 15 seconds after the burner has
lit to allow the probe to reach temperature. Should the
ame go out when the knob is released, the procedure
should be repeated holding the knob depressed for
slightly longer.
For simmering, turn the knob further anti-clockwise
to the low rate position. To turn the burner off, rotate
knob fully clockwise until the line on the knob lines up
with the dot on the control panel. The burners on this
appliance have xed aeration and no adjustment is
required. Depending on the gas being used, the burners
should ame as follows:
Propane: The ames should burn quietly with a blue/
green colour with no signs of yellow tips.
Butane: Normally on initial lighting , a small amount of
yellow tipping will occur and the slightly increases as the
burner heats up.
Care should be taken not to overload the appliance as
reduced performance may result.
When using small pans, the ames should not spread
beyond the base of the pan as this will reduce the
efciency of the burner.
