5. Cooking On The Appliance
?
?
Boiling: Place the cooking vessel (pot, pan or kettle) centrally onto the pot stand. Pot sizes that may be used vary between minimum 150mm and
300mm maximum in diameter. Be carefull not to turn the heat up too much when using pots with plastic handles as they may be damaged by heat
escaping from underneath the pot. Depending on the conditions and the pot size used, one liter of water will boil in approximately 6 minutes.
Grilling and Frying
: The non-stick coated aluminium grill plate heats up quickly and evenly, searing meats and locking in their
natural juices and flavours.

6. Caring For The Grill Plate

When using the grill plate for the first time, lightly coat the cooking side of the grill plate with oil before heating.
Pre-heat the grill plate before cooking and use only low or medium heat settings. Don not over heat the grill plate.
Whilst the non-stick coating is very durable, it is recommended to use only plastic or wooden utensils when cooking as metal utensils will tend to
damage the coating.
Always let the grill plate cool down before immersing it in water.
The non-stick coating is perfectly safe in the dishwasher, but its surface is so easy to clean that a quick handwash does the trick. The use of
abrasive detergents is not recommended, as this will permanently damage the non-stick surface.
If burned grease or food residue collects on the surface, it can usually be removed with warm water and a mild detergent. In an extreme case, it
can be removed by a thorough cleaning with a mixture of 3 tablespoons of bleach, 1 tablespoon of liquid detergent and 1 cup of water. Apply to the
cooking surface with a sponge or plastic scrubbing pad.
After cleaning recondition the surface with a light wipe of oil.
7. General Maintenance

To remove the seal from its location groove, use a pointed instrument to lift it out of the groove. Take care not to damage the surface of the location
groove.
To fit a replacement seal, squeeze the seal to an oval shape, push one end into the location groove, then gently push in the rest of the seal until it
is fully fitted into the location groove.
If the flame power drops or the burner will not light, check that the gas cartridge still contains gas (shake to hear the noise made by the liquid). If
the cartridge still contains gas, the jet may be blocked.
The Jet is now exposed for removal.
Unscrew the jet using a suitable size spanner. Do not use pliers as this may damage the jet, making it unusable or impossible to remove. Do not
attempt to clean the old jet, rather fit a new jet. Do not over tighten the jet (see fig. 5a-c).
To re-assemble the appliance, gently screw the burner assembly back into position in a clockwise direction.
Replacing a blocked jet
Gently unscrew the burner assembly, by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction.

Always read the gas cartridge markings.
Always change the gas cartridge outside and away from other people.
Check that the flame is extinguished before disconnecting the cartridge from the appliance.
To disconnect the cartridge from the appliance, unscrew the cartridge in an anti-clockwise direction.
Check the seal before connecting a cartridge to the appliance. It should be in place in its location groove and be in good condition. Do not connect a
cartridge to the appliance if the seal is worn or damaged. If in doubt, replace the seal before use.
When fitting a gas cartridge to the appliance, follow the instructions in Section 3.
