POSITION
This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion, and in a manner
that will prevent the accumulation of unburnt gas. When in use ensure that air vents are not inadvertently
blocked or shut off.
OPERATION
Ensure the gas cylinder is turned on.
In the event of a gas smell turn off at the cylinder and contact supplier.
Hotplate Burners
Each burner is controlled individually and is monitored by a flame supervision device. 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. The respective knob positions are below.
To light the burner, press in and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the full rate position and apply a light to the
burner or press the ignition button if fitted. It is necessary to hold the knob depressed during ignition and for
approximately fifteen seconds after the burner has lit to allow the probe to reach temperature. Should the
flame go out when the knob is released, the procedure should be repeated holding the knob depressed for
slightly longer.
For simmering, turn the knob further anticlockwise to the low rate position. To turn the burner off, rotate
knob fully clockwise until the line on the knob lines up with the dot on the control panel. 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.
Although each burner will support pans from 10 to 22cm, care should be taken not to overload the
appliance as reduced performance may result.
Where the appliance is mounted on gimbals, there must be a minimum space of 50mm behind the
appliance.
However, we recommend a space of 205mm behind the appliance, allowing a 30
°
swing when in use at
sea. The gimbals should be securely fixed to a substantial surrounding structure as shown below.
