using your cooktop

warning

DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation as aerosols can contain flammable propellants.

⚠ warning

Where the appliance is installed in any confined area, the area must be properly ventilated. It MUST NOT be used as a space heater.

Controls

Each burner is controlled by a control knob. The markings on the control panel indicate which burner the knob controls, and the settings for that burner (see Figure 2).

Chef GHC937S - Controls - 1

text_image Figure 2 OFF HI + LOW

Lighting burners

Electronic ignition: These cooktops are fitted with mains powered or battery ignition. When the appliance has been connected and the power is on, depressing any knob will release sparks to all burners (except push button ignition, see push button ignition models). To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob and turn to the 'HIGH' position (while depressing the knob). The knob may be released once the flame is established.

Flame safeguard models

The knob must be turned to the 'High' position, then pushed down as far as possible for approximately 5 seconds. If the flame goes out when the knob is released, simply depress the knob again, this time holding it down with slightly more force for the same length of time. The height of the flame can be varied by turning the control knob toward the "Low" position.

Push button ignition: Turn the knob to the 'HIGH' position and press the ignition button down until the flame is established. The height of the flame can be varied by turning the knob towards the 'LOW' position.

⚠ warning

Keep hands clear of the burners when lighting.

If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to 'OFF' position, allow gas to disperse then try lighting again.

! caution

Burners MUST be operated between 'HIGH' and 'LOW' settings only. In the absence of electrical power, carry out the ignition directly to the burner with a hand held ignition source.

Hotplates

Choice of hotplate

For your convenience there is a choice of hotplates:

• A small burner for special low heat and slow cooking.
- A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.
• A large burner for fast heating and large pots and pans.
- A wok burner for very fast heating using a wok or large pot or pan.

To conserve gas place the pan centrally over the burner and adjust the flame so that it does not extend past the edge of the pan (Figure 3). Do not boil food too rapidly.

A vigorous boil will not cook food any faster, and will waste energy.

Pots and pans

All common pots and pans; aluminium, stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, etc., may be used on your new gas cooktop. Ensure that the pots or pans are steady and have flat bases to avoid dangerous spill-over of hot liquids and wasted energy.

Figure 3

Chef GHC937S - Pots and pans - 4
For a small burner, use a small utensil.

! caution

Never use asbestos mats, wire mats or grids, or aluminium foil as it can lead to overheating, cracked enamel or broken glass. The warranty will be void if these items are used and cause a failure. Woks should only be used on the wok burner and wok support trivet.

cleaning and care

Chef GHC937S - cleaning and care - 1

warning

Ensure the appliance is off and cool before cleaning.

Enamel

Persistent stains may require rubbing with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers. Household enamel cleaners are available, follow the manufacturer's instructions in their use. Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes should not be used.

Stainless steel

NOTE: Ensure any oil is cleaned off the hob before use, otherwise it may cause the hob to turn a yellowish colour.

All grades of stainless steel may stain, discolour or attain an adhering layer of grime in normal operation. To achieve maximum surface appearance, stainless steel must be kept clean by regularly using the following cleaning procedures. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water. Where the stainless steel has become extremely dirty with signs of surface discolouration, (due to periods of neglect of misuse) use a stainless steel cleaner. When removing these stains, be sure to follow the polish or brushing lines.

Chef GHC937S - Stainless steel - 1

caution

DO NOT use abrasive scourers or steel wool.

Trivets, burner caps and crowns

These can all be lifted off and removed for separate cleaning.

NOTE: When re-fitting the burner caps and crowns, ensure that they are correctly seated.

Ensure burners are thoroughly dried after cleaning or spillage. When cleaning the burners, ensure that all the flame ports are free of any blockage (refer to Figure 1b on page 4). If necessary, use a toothpick or brush to clear ports. The outer surface of the burner caps have a polished finish and extra care needs to be taken to avoid scratching this surface during cleaning. In instances of heavy soiling, it may be necessary to apply a non-abrasive cleaning compound and rub with a cloth until the soiling is removed and then finish with a soft, dry cloth.

Operation on NG/SNG

Regulator

An appliance regulator is provided. The regulator must be positioned so that the pressure test nipple is accessible when the appliance is installed. Connect the gas supply to the 12 " B.S.P. internal thread inlet of the regulator. Refer to 'bench cutout' (Figure 4) for connection point position.

Regulators are supplied pre-adjusted and configured by the component maker for use with Natural Gas. The appliance installer is not required to make an adjustment to obtain the correct outlet pressure setting.

An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the direction of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the regulator is oriented correctly. When the regulator has been fitted check for leaks from the connections with soapy water.

Gas connection

This appliance is supplied for use with Natural Gas.

However, it can be converted for use with LPG. Refer to LP conversion on pages 13-15.

Supply pipe sizing

The total hourly gas consumption for the appliance is shown on the data label. The required supply pressure (i.e. at inlet to appliance regulator) for each gas type is shown on the data label, and given in Table 3. Use this information in conjunction with the length of run, number of elbows, tees and bends, the available service pressure and the supply requirements of other installed appliances to determine a suitable pipe size. For assistance in this matter refer to the appropriate section of AS/NZS 5601.1 or AS/NZS 5601.2.

An AGA certified class B or D flexible connection may be used to connect the cooktop in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1, in particular section 5.9 and clause 6.10.1.8, or AS/NZS 5601.2, in particular section 2.11. Where a hose assembly is used and the cooktop is in the installed position, the hose assembly shall be suitable for connection to a fixed consumer piping outlet located at a point 800 - 850mm above the floor and in the region outside the width of the appliance to a distance of 250mm. The point of connection to consumer piping must be accessible with appliance installed.

Elbow positioning

It is possible to reposition the elbow if required by loosening the locking nut and elbow by using two spanners. Re-tighten the entire assembly after the elbow has been repositioned. When fitting elbow to appliance, ensure that the sealing washer is fitted.

DONG YANG regulator

Checking the gas supply

  1. Check the manometer zero point is correct.
  2. Connect the manometer to the cooktop pressure point. This is located on the regulator.
  3. Turn on the gas supply and electricity and try to ignite the gas.

i tips & information

It will take additional time to light the gas for the first time as air needs to be purged from the pipes.

  1. With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure:

  2. when all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum,

  3. when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum.

Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 1.00kPa by more than +/-0.20kPa .

If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily, then check the following points.

  1. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply line. If this is suspected then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the range 1.13 - 5kPa.

  2. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the body indicates the direction of gas flow.

Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced.

i tips & information

Refer to page 15 if you have been supplied with a CHANT regulator.

This appliance is fitted with Natural Gas burner injectors.

Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit LP gas is required. The conversion kit contains appropriate LPG injectors and 1 LPG sticker.

To convert to LPG

  1. Remove the hotplate burners to access the hotplate injectors. Replace the factory fitted NG injectors with the appropriate injectors, as supplied (see Table 3).
  2. Unscrew the hex nut from the regulator. The hex nut, brass washer and nylon insert will disengage as an assembly.
  3. Unclip the nylon insert from the nut assembly by rotating the insert 14 turn, and pulling it free.
  4. Turn over the insert, and clip back into position.
  5. Refit the hex nut assembly to the regulator ensuring that it is fully screwed down. The regulator is now set for connection to LP.
  6. Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection check for leaks using soapy water: each hotplate valve should be turned on, one at a time, and the injector hole blanked off for several seconds.
  7. The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by connecting a manometer to the pressure test point located on the side of the regulator body adjacent to the outlet. With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure

tips & information

Refer to page 13-14 if you have been supplied with a DONG YANG regulator.

This appliance is supplied set up for Natural Gas usage. A conversion kit is included with the product for Universal LPG usage. The conversion kit contains the appropriate injectors and 1 LPG sticker.

Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit UNIVERSAL LPG is required:

  1. Remove the hotplate trivets, burner caps and burner crowns to access the hotplate injectors. Replace the factory fitted injectors with the appropriate injectors, as supplied. Refer to injector orifice table for injector sizes. The injector size is stamped on the side of the injector.
  2. Unscrew the top hat nut from the regulator. The top hat nut and control pressure spring assembly will disengage as an assembly.
  3. Unscrew the threaded pin from top hat.
  4. Upturn threaded pin, so spring is free and screw pin back into the top hat until firm.
  5. Refit the top hat nut assembly to the regulator ensuring that it is fully screwed down. The regulator is now set for connection to LPG.
  6. Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection check for leaks using soapy water. Each hotplate valve should be turned on, one at a time, and the injector hole blanked off for several seconds.
  7. The operation of the regulator can be confirmed by connecting a manometer to the pressure test point located on the side of the regulator body adjacent to the outlet. With the appliance operating check the outlet pressure

- when all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum,

- when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum.

Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 2.60kPa by more than ±0.52kPa.

  1. If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily then check the following points:

  2. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply line.

  3. If this is suspected then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the range 2.75 - 7.00kPa.
  4. Check that the insert has been fitted correctly.
  5. Check that the turret screw is fully screwed down.
  6. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the body indicates the direction of gas flow.

Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still fails to perform in a satisfactory manner it should be replaced.

  1. One by one, turn the knobs to minimum and screw in the bypass screw (accessible when the knob is removed) until a small stable flame results. Turn the knob to maximum and then back to minimum to ensure that the correct minimum flame is maintained.

  2. Attach the LPG sticker to the cooker, near the gas supply inlet. Cover the Natural Gas label that is factory fitted.

electrical connection

Battery connection

The battery used is a 1.5 Volt 'AA' Battery. This supplies the power for the ignition system of the cooktop. To install, follow the safety instructions as shown on Figure 9 below.

NOTE: Pay special attention to the orientation of the battery when installing.

The battery supplied is a perishable item and not covered by the warranty.

Electrical connection (220-240 Volts)

Where applicable, the appliance is supplied with a standard 7.5 Amp service cord terminated by a 3-pin plug for connection to a standard household socket. The electrical supply is required to power the electronic ignition system.

NOTE: It will be necessary for servicing purposes to disconnect the electrical power supply. The power point should therefore be accessible after the appliance is installed, as specified in the local wiring regulations.

Diagram 1 is a schematic of the wiring in the appliance.

The weight of the unit is printed on the appliance packaging label.

Use of hose assemblies

Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from accidental contact with the flue outlet of an underbench oven or any other hot surface of an adjacent appliance.

testing appliance operation

After installation, test the appliance and ensure that it operates correctly before handing it over to the customer. The following procedure is recommended:

  1. Turn on the gas and electricity supply and attempt ignition on all burners, both separately and in combination. (For correct procedure, refer to page 4). Note that additional time needs to be allowed for the initial lighting as air has to be purged from the pipes.
  2. Observe the flame appearance on each burner. (Figure 10) If it is much larger or much smaller than expected, the injector size and supply pressure require checking. Where a flame is unsatisfactory, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide (Page 6) to correct the fault. If the Troubleshooting Guide does not solve the problem, call the Service Centre.
  3. When all the foregoing is satisfactory, check the turndown (minimum or low) setting on each burner, as this may need adjustment. Valves have a by pass controlling screw, which may be accessed by removing the knob. This screw will be located on a particular area of the valve. (Refer figure 11). Normally, this will have been correctly set at the factory for use on NG (Natural Gas) and should not require adjustment.

If the appliance has been converted to LPG, then the bypass screw will have to be screwed in until a small, stable flame results.

Please ensure the supply pressure has been checked PRIOR to any adjustment.

  1. If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform safely, inform the customer of the problem and affix an appropriate warning notice to the appliance. If the fault appears to be dangerous the appliance should be disconnected. If a minor fault exists, the customer may wish to use the appliance while awaiting service.
    If a fault cannot be fixed, please call the Service Centre.
  2. The customer should be advised that, in the event of a fault, the local Service Organisation or the retailer from whom the appliance was purchased should be contacted.
  3. When satisfied that the unit is operating correctly, turn off and instruct the customer on correct operation as outlined in this booklet. Ask the customer to operate the controls to ensure that the correct procedure is understood.
