blue/green colour with
no sign of yellow tips.
Butane- Normallyoninitiallighting,asmall
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

). 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

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:-
• ElectricHotplate:-Ø180mm(DualFuelonly)
• AuxiliaryBurner:-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
reducetheefciencyoftheburner.
• 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 efciency
acorrectlysizedpanwithaatheavygaugebase
should be used. Pan size should be the same or
