OPERATION
Burner operation
The burners on this appliance have fixed aeration and no adjustment is required. Depending
on the gas being used, 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 and then
slightly
increases as the burner heats up.
Using the Hotplate 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 – see Fig.1. 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.
WARNING
•
When cooking, young children should be kept away.
•
Glass lids may shatter when heated. Turn off all burners
before shutting the lid
•
Spillage on the surface of the lid should be removed
before opening the lid.
IMPORTANT
•
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.
