Operation
Theburners onthis appliancehave xedaeration
and no adjustment is required. The burners should
ameasfollows:-
Propane - The ames 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 ngers are removed from appliance
when closing 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ames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 ame (
). Light the hob
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ame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nished
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only)
• AuxiliaryBurner:-Ø200mm
• Semi-Rapid Burner: - 2x Ø200mm or 1x
Ø220mm with 1x Ø180mm
• 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.
• Avoid old or misshapen pans as these may
cause instability.
• The lid must be opened fully prior to using the
hotplate burners.
Using the Electric Hotplate (Dual Fuel Models)
Ensure power is switched on. The hotplate control is
numbered from 1 to 6. To turn it on, rotate the knob
either clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required
position. Position 1 is the coolest setting. To turn
off, rotate the knob until the line or pointer on the
knob lines up with the zero on the control panel.
The hotplate is a sealed construction and transfers
heat through conduction. For maximum efciency
acorrectlysizedpanwithaatheavygaugebase
should be used. Pan size should be the same or
