Using The Appliance For The First Time
After installation remove all notification labels (not gas or electrical warning labels), advertising,
tape, packaging, etc. A quick wash with diluted soapy water should rinse away any adhesive
residue. Eucalyptus oil (small amounts) is also good for removing adhesive residue. Thoroughly
rinse cleaned surfaces and wipe them dry using a clean, soft cloth.
NOTE: People with sensitivity to cleaning chemicals must take the necessary precautions. It is
recommended that protective gloves be worn while cleaning the appliance.
INITIAL HEAT UP
Some smoke and smell may be noticed during the initial heat up cycle (see Using the
Appliance for the First Time). This should quickly dissipate. If abnormal levels of smoke are
observed (i.e. it is not food that is burning) have the appliance thoroughly checked.
Control Panel Operation
Gas Burner Controls
The cooktop burners are ignited by the in-built electronic ignition
controls. The controls must be turned anti-clockwise to operate
and can only be turned clockwise to the off position. Alternatively,
the burner may be ignited manually using matches, cooktop gas
lighters or similar devices, being careful not to risk injury or damage.
To operate the controls ensure the burners are correctly assembled
and positioned over the gas burner outlets and the pan supports
are correctly positioned then:
Start the gas flow by pressing down and turning the control 1.
knob corresponding to the burner you wish to use anti-
clockwise. Pressing down on the control knob causes the igniters
to spark.
NOTE: These units are fitted with Flame Failure Safety Devices. These require the controls to
be fully depressed during ignition to ensure correct operation. The controls should be held
fully down for at least 10 seconds during the ignition and flame establishment period to
ensure the valve remains open after the knob is released.
Once the flame is established the knob need no longer be pressed and may be turned to
2.
your required setting.
The flame can then be turned down by turning the control knob further anti-clockwise.
3.
For Wok Burner: 4.
Once the flame is established using the normal procedure described above, it can be
turned down by turning the control knob further anti-clockwise.
Press the control knob again and continue turning anti-clockwise to extinguish the outer ring
flame and provide a full control high-to-low inner ring flame for simmering applications.
Check for a clear blue flame without excessive yellow tipping. If burners show any abnormal
combustion check they are correctly located on the burner base.
NOTE: Sometimes burners may not ignite immediately and may seem to “blow” slightly when
they do ignite. This is usually due to air in the gas line, which should clear itself.
For minor adjustments see Servicing and Minor Adjustments .
A 2 yearly inspection of the appliance by an authorised service agent will ensure many years of
trouble-free service. ( NOTE: This is not provided under warranty).
