1. Ensure gas supply is connected and turned on and the glass lid to the hob is fully open
before using the appliance. For combination units the separate glass lid to the sink bowl
may be left closed whilst the hob is in use.
2. Push in the control knob and turn anticlockwise to full rate – large flame ( ), see Fig 6.
3. Continue depressing the knob whilst holding a lighted match or taper to the burner.

automatic whilst knob depressed.
For models fitted with spark ignition the procedure is similar except that burner is ignited
by depressing the ignition button located on the fascia.
4. After the burner is lit continue depressing the knob for approximately 10 - 15 seconds.
5. Release knob and turn to required heat setting.

repeating operations (2) to (5).

control panel.
Do's and Don'ts

DO Check that controls are in the off position when finished using the appliance.
DO Turn pan handles away from the front so that they cannot be caught accidentally.
DO NOT Allow small children near the appliance when in use.

Leaks
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the gas supply should be turned off at the cylinder
IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes and do not operate
electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to permit any gas to escape. ULP gas is
heavier than air; any gas escaping will therefore collect at low level. The strong unpleasant
smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be detected. Check that the gas is not
escaping from an unlit burner. Never check for leaks with a naked flame; leak investigation on
the appliance should be carried out using a leak detector spray.
MAINTENANCE
We recommend an annual inspection and service by an authorised service agent to maintain
the efficient performance of the appliance. In between annual service the appliance needs little
maintenance other than cleaning. All parts should be cleaned using warm soapy water and a
soft cloth or sponge, then carefully wiped dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scourers, or
wire brushes on the hob and pan rests as they can cause damage. When cleaning the burner
rings it is essential to ensure that the holes do not become blocked. The control knobs are a
push fit and can be removed for cleaning. They are interchangeable without affecting the sense
of operation. If any replacement parts are required they must be obtained by contacting Thetford
Ltd at the address or telephone number shown in this manual.
