Dear customer, Congratulations on your choice and thank you for purchasing one of our appliances. This practical, modern and functional appliance is manufactured using materials of the highest quality which are subject to strict quality control checks throughout the entire manufacturing process. The appliance is meticulously tested to ensure that it meets your demands and produces perfect cooking results. Do not remove the appliance from its protective packaging until it is installed in the unit.
Safety considerations For your safety If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death. Do not store articles on or against this appliance. Do not store flammable material near this appliance. Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation. What to do if you smell gas Do not try to light the appliance. Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
Important. When using a very large pot, leave a gap of at least 50 mm (2”) to avoid damaging any parts in bench top wood, plastic or other non-heat resistant materials. Never leave oil or hot fat unattended. The surfaces on heating and cooking appliances get hot when in use. Be careful. Keep children away from the appliance. Only use your appliance for the preparation of food and never for room-heating purposes. This appliance leaves the factory set for the gas supply indicated on the data label.
Installation Statutory requirements This installation must conform with the following: Ø Manufacturer’s Installation instructions Ø Local Gas Fitting Regulations Ø Municipal Building Codes, Ø Refer to AS/NZS 5601.1 for Gas Installations. Ø S.A.A. Wiring Code Ø Local Electrical Regulations Ø Any other statutory regulations Preparing to install Refer to AS/NZS 5601.1 for piping size details. These built-in cooktops are intended to be inserted in a benchtop cutout.
Before connecting the unit, check whether the local connection conditions (type of gas) are compatible with the unit’s setting. Observe any special conditions imposed by local suppliers (utilities). The specifications of this cooktop are stated on the data label located on the bottom of the cooktop base. A duplicate data label is supplied for adhesion to an accessible location near the hotplate if the data label on the base of the hotplate cannot be accessed when the hotplate is installed.
Installation of cooktop into the kitchen bench Installation procedure: Side clearances: If the distance measured from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical surface is less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in accordance with clauses 6.10.1.2 of AS/NZS 5601.1 1. For cutout dimensions and clearances refer Fig.1. 2. The clips and the adhesive seal (underside of the cooktop) are already fitted (depending on the model), do not under any circumstances remove them.
Gas During the planning stage, consider the position of supply connections. The cooktop must be connected to the gas supply with upstream connection of an isolation valve in accordance with the respectively valid regulations. We recommend that the isolation valve be fitted prior to the cooktop to enable isolation of cooktop from gas supply. The valve must be easily accessible at all times. To find out the factory set gas type, see bottom of cooktop next to gas connection.
The supply connection point shall be accessible with the appliance installed. WARNING: Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from accidental contact with the flue outlet of an underbench oven. Before Leaving- Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition.
Changing the nozzles of the burners on the cooktop - Remove the pan supports, burner covers and diffusers.Fig. 7. Fig. 7 - Change the nozzles using the spanner provided by our Service Centre (code 340847, for double and triple flame burners code 340808), taking special care to ensure that the nozzle does not fall when it is removed from the burner or when fitted. Fig. 8. Ensure that it is completely tightened in order to guarantee the seal. Fig. 8 Adjustment of the taps Set the control knobs to minimum.
Adjust the minimum ring setting by turning the by-pass screw using a flat head screwdriver. To adjust the minimum flame for N.G. replace the control knob onto the spindle, light the gas and turn the control knob to the small flame position. Screw the adjustment screw anti-clockwise to estabilish a minimum stable flame position. The flame should remain alight and not burn back to the injector when the valve is turned quickcly from ‘Full On’ to the “Minimum flame” position and back a few times.
Operating instructions Burner locations 1 3 2 4 1 2 3 4 4 Pan supports Control knobs Semi-rapid burner (up to 1,75 kW) Dual double-flame burner (up to 5 kW) The gas burners Operation There are indications to show which burner each control knob operates. Fig. 12. Fig. 12 It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan supports are correctly installed for the appliance to work correctly. Fig.13-14. Fig. 13 14 Fig.
Switching on automatically If your cooktop can be switched on automatically (ignition sparkers): 1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum power setting. While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer necessary to press down the control knob). 2. Turn the control knob to the required setting. If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off setting and repeat the steps above.
Outer flame on minimum, inner flame on full power. Inner flame on full power. Inner flame on minimum power. Warnings It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the burner is operating. When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours; this does not pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction; they will disappear in time. A few seconds after switching off the burner, it will make a sound (thud).
Important: The use of a cooktop leads to the production of heat and moisture in the kitchen. For this reason make sure that the room is properly ventilated. Keep natural ventilation openings, such as windows, open or provide a mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a range hood or overhead exhaust fan). An orangy flame is normal and simply indicates the presence of salt in the atmosphere (from cooking). If the flame has yellow patches, this is not a fault (of any kind).
Do not place anything, eg. flame tamer, asbestos mat, between pan and pan support as serious damage to the appliance may result. Do not remove the pan support and enclose the burner with a wok stand as this will concentrate and deflect heat onto the hotplate. Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the pan support or deflect flame onto the hotplate.
Precautions for use The following advice is intended to help you save energy and prevent pan damage: Use pans which are the right size for each burner. Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame should not touch the sides of the pan. Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the cooktop. Pans may tip over. Only use pans with a thick, flat base. Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is properly fitted to avoid wasting energy.
Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap and water. After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly. The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports.
Service DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE. Only authorized personnel from the Service Centre are qualified to work on the appliance. Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved. Before calling the Service Centre, bear in mind the following advice: Fault Possible cause Solution The general electrical system is malfunctioning. Defective fuse. Check the fuse in the main fuse box and change it if it is damaged.
