Burner operation
The burners on this appliance have fixed aeration and no adjustment is required. The burners
should flame as follows:-
Propane - The flames should burn quietly with a blue/green colour with no sign of yellow
tips.
• Although each burner will support pans from 10 to 22cm, care
should be taken not to overload the appliance as reduced
performance may result.
• When using small pans the flames should not spread beyond the
base of the pan as this will reduce the efficiency 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 Hotplate Gas Burners
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 flames 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 flame (
). Hold a lighted
match or taper to the burner and push the control knob in and hold. 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 flame
go out when the knob is released, the procedure should be repeated holding the knob
depressed for slightly longer.
4. For models fitted with Spark Ignition the procedure is similar except that the burner can be
ignited by depressing the ignition button, which is located on the fascia. 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
finished using the hotplate burners.
