Operating Instructions 

IGNITING THE BURNERS

 

The knob on your gas cooktop controls both ignition and the safety device. Proceed as follows to ignite the 

burners: 

Press down & turn the knob for the burner you would like to use.  Keep the knob strongly pressed in for 

approximately 1 second to allow the ignitor to light the gas, and allow the thermocouple to heat up.  Release 

the knob after approximately 1 second. The flame can be adjusted by turning the knob anti clockwise until it 

reaches the desired size. Only turn the knob between the High and Low settings, otherwise the burner will 

turn off. 

To turn off the burner, push down & rotate the knob around to the ‘Off’ position. 

Note: If the burner does not light within 12-15 seconds, turn the control knob back to the ‘Off’ position, and 

attempt re-ignition after 1 minute. This will allow any unburned gas to escape from the burner area. 

If the burner does not light, firstly check that the cooktop is connected to electricity. If connected ensure that 

the gas is turned on and that the electrodes are sparking.  

Also ensure that all burner caps are placed correctly on the burner rings. 

 

USING THE BURNERS 

For greater efficiency and less gas consumption, use pots and pans with the right diameters for the burners. 

Avoid having flames extending out from underneath the pans (refer to the table in the appliance details 

section for recommended sizing). 

When cooking, always try to use a pot or pan with a flat base. Pots & pans with an uneven or curved base 

will cause the burner to run inefficiently and will take longer to cook your food. 

Always heat the water to boiling point before placing food items to be cooked. After the water has boiled, the 

heat setting can be dropped to maintain the desired cooking temperature. This will speed up the cooking 

time and is more efficient. 

In the event of a power outage, your gas cooktop can still be used. Press & turn the desired knob to the 

‘High’ position and light with a match. Depress the knob after approx. 3 seconds and continue to operate the 

burner. 
Large utensils exceeding the recommended size can cause excessive heat to reflect back onto the 

appliance, potentially damaging the appliance and causing a temperature hazard. 
 

AUTOMATIC SAFETY VALVES

 

This safety device automatically closes the gas valve if there is any disruption of the gas flow to the 

appliance, or if the gas flame goes out.
