the plug are given on page 34.

Hotplate

To light

1. Push in the control knob and turn it to the large flame symbol

(highest setting), and press the ignition button immediately. When
the burner has lit release the button.

Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed a build up of gas may

cause the flame to spread.

Please note

: If you have any trouble lighting a hotplate burner turn all

the hotplate control knobs off and make sure the hotplate burner parts
have been replaced correctly.
