HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
COMBINED COOKER HOB, OVEN
AND GRILL
WARNINGS
• Use only the gas pressures specified.
• This appliance is approved for use
with Propane and Butane. We
recommend using Propane gas for this
appliance.
• Butane gas may be used, although the
appliance performance may be
compromised when the ambient
temperature is below 10
°
C.
• Butane should not be used when
ambient temperature is below 5
°
C.
• Before using the appliance for the first
time, remove all accessories and
packing in the grill and oven, including
any plastic surface protection film.
• Clean all surfaces with hot soapy water
to remove any residual protective
covering of oil and rinse carefully.
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.
Butane - Normally on initial lighting, a small
amount of yellow tipping will occur. This then
increases slightly as the burner heats up.
LPG is a mixture of Propane and Butane,
therefore the exact flame appearance
depends upon the proportions of Propane and
Butane in the gas being used. Correct burner
operation can only be determined by the use
of a calibrated combustion gas analyser by a
competent operative, in accordance with
relevant European and National Standards.
The burners are controlled individually and
each is monitored by a thermocouple probe. In
the event the burner flames are accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and
do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at
least one minute.
Operation
Using the hotplate gas burners
1. Ensure gas supply is connected and
turned on.
2. Push in the control knob and turn anti-
clockwise to full rate - large flame
(see Fig 1).
3. Continue depressing the knob whilst
holding a lighted match or taper to the
burner. For models fitted with spark
ignition the procedure is similar except
that the burner is ignited by depressing
the ignition button located on the facia.
4. After the burner is lit, continue depressing
the knob for approximately 10-15
seconds.
5. Release knob and turn to required heat
setting.
6. If burner has not lit within 15 seconds,
release knob and wait at least 1 minute
before repeating operations (2) to (5).
7. To turn off, rotate the control knob until the
line on the knob is aligned with dot on the
control panel. Always make sure the
control knob is in the off position when you
have finished 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 are the maximum pan
sizes that we recommend:
Electric Hotplate: Ø180mm
Auxiliary Burner: Ø200mm
Semi-Rapid
2 x Ø200mm or 1 x
Burners: Ø220mm with 1 x Ø180mm.
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
using old or misshapen pans as these may be
unstable and may also affect efficiency.
The glass lid must be fully opened before
using the hotplate burners.
