OPERATION:
(See attached drawings of controls to identify the buttons and knobs on page 8)
TO IGNITE THE OVEN:
(refer drawing on page 8)
1. Open the oven door before igniting the oven pilot burner to avoid a hazardous
situation.
2. Press the button (no.1) and keep it pressed down.
3. Ignite the pilot burner by pressing the Piezo-electric igniter (no.3) and hold button
(no.1) in for about 30 seconds (for thermocouple to heat up) and release it if pilot
flame dies, repeat operation allowing for a longer period before releasing knob.
4. Turn the knob (no.4) to the desired temperature (turn the knob completely anti-
clockwise to get the maximum temperature). The lighting of the pilot and the main
burner can be seen through the two holes in the sole plate.
5. Turn the knob (no.4) completely clockwise (zero position). This will close the gas to
the burners (valves) and only the pilot will keep on burning.
6. Cut out. Press button (No.2) completely in to stop the flow of gas to the main
burner and to the pilot burner. Release button (no.2). allow at least 1 minute before
attempting to re-ignite

The burners will be visible.
3. Strike the match and depress the burner control knob (no.6) and turn the knob anti-
clock wise until it locks into place, light pilot by holding the match approximately 40mm
away from the pilot and keep knob depress for 20 seconds for the thermocouple to
heat up (repeat if pilot fails to light).
4. When the control knob is turned to the first setting (HIGH) the burner will be ignitted
by the pilot burner. See drawing to see which knob operates which burner.
5. For the second setting (LOW) depress and turn knob in a anti-clockwise until it slots
into position.
6. To shut down the burners turn the controls clock wise until is locks in position, pilot
will still stay lit.

Oven:
The oven has a tubular type burner situated below the sole plate and is ignited by a pilot
flame controlled by a 710 Minisit gas valve with thermo electric safety shutdown and
direct acting thermostat with pressure regulator device all combined. Oven temperature
is controlled by a thermostat 100° - 340°c. allow the oven to heat thoroughly before
commencing to cook: plus/minus 30 minutes.
Precautions:
Always ensure that pilot flames are properly ignited before opening gas taps, avoid
excessive spillage. All cooking utensils should have machined flat bases to give
maximum heat transfer. Turn off gas controls after use.
In the event of flash back (fire in burner tube) immediately turn off the gas supply, turn off
the gas controls. disconnect the regulator and wait for the unit to cool down completely.
+
30 minutes. Once the unit has cooled check the burners for dirt, blockages and follow
cleaning procedures as detailed in the maintenance section. If on relighting the problem
recurs, have the unit checked by an authorised service technician. always turn off the
gas main valve when not in use.
Open Top:
Six large cuisine type burners, each controlled by a high-low gas tap and ignited by pilot
flames. The caps on the burner base are sloted and will only fit one way. Place cap on
burner base and rotate cap until it locates itself in the burner base.
