To reduce energy use on the hob whilst cooking;
- Use the correct size of pan – a pan which fits the hotplate will use less energy than one that is too large or too small.
- Use the minimum heat setting to maintain simmering or boiling – additional heat is just wasted.
- Cover pans or kettles with a lid whenever possible – this helps to retain heat.
- Do not use old, damaged or distorted pans, they will reduce efficiency.
INTRODUCTION
This appliance is designed for cooking foods, any other use is incorrect and dangerous. Failure to install the appliance correctly or improper use, will invalidate any warranty or liability claims. This appliance must be installed in accordance with the local, national and European regulations in force. Particular attention shall be given to the requirements regarding ventilation. Read the instructions before installing or using the appliance. The appliance MUST be installed by an approved competent person.
Our policy is one of continuous development and improvement. Specifications and illustrations may change subsequent to publication.
Provision of Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in a production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in accordance with local and national/European standards.
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.
- Appliance should only be used with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
- Use only the Gas Pressures specified
This appliance is approved for use with either Propane or Butane. We recommend using Propane for this appliance. - Butane may be used, although the appliance performance may be compromised when the ambient temperature is below 10^ .
- Butane should not be used when the ambient temperature is below 5 °C.
• This appliance MUST be earthed
OPERATION
The burners on the appliance have fixed aeration and no adjustment is required. 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.
The burners are controlled individually and each is monitored by a thermocouple probe. In the event the burner flames are accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
Before first use, clean all surfaces with hot soapy water to remove any residual protective covering of oil the rinse and dry carefully.
Hob Burners
- Ensure gas supply is connected and turned on.
- Push in the control knob and turn anticlockwise to full rate – large flame (☐), see Fig 4.
- Continue depressing the knob whilst holding a lighted match or taper to the burner. For models fitted with 'Auto Spark' the procedure is similar except burner ignition is automatic whilst knob depressed.
- After the burner is lit continue depressing the knob for approximately 10 - 15 seconds.
- Release knob and turn to required heat setting.
- If burner has not lit within 15 seconds, release knob and wait at least 1 minute before repeating operations (2) to (5).
- To turn off, rotate the control knob until the line on the knob is aligned with dot on the control panel. Always make sure the control knob is in the off position when you have finished using the hotplate burners.
Electric Hotplate
- Ensure the electricity is switched on.
- The hotplate control is numbered from 1 (Low) to 6 (High). To turn on, rotate the knob either clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required position.
- To turn off, rotate the knob until the line or pointer on the knob lines up with the zero on the control panel.
The hotplate is a sealed construction and transfers heat through conduction. For maximum efficiency use the correct size pan with a flat heavy gauge base. The pan size should be the same or slightly larger than the hotplate (up to 1" / 2.5 cm oversize).
Before using your hotplate for the first time, we recommend that you prime and then season it.
To prime the hotplate:-
Switch on the hotplate for a short period, without a pan, to harden and burn off the coating. Use a medium to high setting for 3 – 5 minutes. A non toxic smoke may occur during this process. Allow it to cool, then season.
To season the hotplate:-
Heat the hotplate for 30 seconds on a medium setting, then switch off. Pour a minimal amount of unsalted vegetable oil onto a clean dry cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface. Wipe off any excess oil, then heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute. Occasional seasoning will help to maintain the appearance.
OPERATION
DO'S AND DON'TS
DO Read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time.
DO Allow the burners to heat before using for the first time, in order to expel any smells before the introduction of food.
DO Clean the appliance regularly.
DO Remove spills as soon as they occur.
DO Turn pan handles away from the front so that they cannot be caught accidentally.
DO Check that controls are in the off position when finished.
DO NOT Allow children near the appliance when in use.
DO NOT Allow fats or oils to build up in the base of the hotplate.
DO NOT Use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surfaces of the hotplate.
DO NOT Under any circumstances use the appliance as a space heater.

Ensure there is a minimum 10mm gap between individual pans and to the edges of the hob. Ensure that the gas flame heats the bottom of the pan and not the sides.
GAS LEAKS
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape. Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air; any gas escaping will therefore collect at low level. The strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be detected. Check that the gas is not escaping from an unlit appliance. Never check for leaks with a naked flame; leak investigation should be carried out using a leak detector spray.
INSTALLATION
Regulations and Standards
In your own interest of safety, it is law that all gas appliances are installed and serviced by an approved competent person, in accordance with the local and National/European standards in force Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims and lead to prosecution. Particular attention shall be given to the requirements regarding ventilation. Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.
Ventilation
This appliance is suitable for installation into Holiday Homes, Touring Caravans and Boats. In all cases the national standards with regard to ventilation for the particular vehicle into which the appliance is to be installed must be adhered to.
The European Standard EN1949 - "Specification for the installation of LPG systems in leisure and other road vehicles", specifies appliances be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, including the adequate provision to avoid the accumulation of unburnt gases. We recommend a floor vent, venting to the outside, with minimum size ∅12mm, maximum ∅25mm, which should be baffled to prevent direct draughts to the appliance.
Location of Appliance
This appliance may be installed in a kitchen/kitchen diner but NOT in a room containing a bath or a shower. LP gas appliances must not be fitted below ground level. e.g. in a basement.
Position
A cutout should be prepared as shown in the enclosed diagram – Fig. 1. We recommend the underside of the hob be shielded – see Fig. 3, particularly if this area is to be used for storage or the installation of another appliance. The shield should be fabricated from non-combustible material, but if the enclosure is manufactured from combustible material there should be a minimum air gap of 50mm between lowest part under hob and the shield. THIS AIR SPACE MUST BE WELL VENTILATED
The location of the cutout MUST comply with the dimensions shown and include a gas
dispersal hole venting to the outside, indicated by in the diagrams. We recommend the dispersal hole is baffled. A warning notice located near the dispersal hole with the following text is recommended.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should the gas dispersal hole be obstructed.
A horizontal distance of 200mm must exist between the edge of the burners and combustible material unless protected by a layer of non-combustible material. Unless the appliance is fitted with a glass lid a non-combustible heat shield (splash back) must be fitted onto the rear wall directly behind the appliance.
For models with a glass lid, the distance from the edge of the burner to the rear wall can be reduced to 110mm.
All combustible materials such as curtains and shelves must be kept well clear of the appliance. Any fitments such as a cupboard above the appliance must have a minimum clearance of 510mm between the fitment and the top of the pan support – see Fig. 2
The appliance should be fixed in place using the clamps provided. Make sure the appliance is fully home in the cabinet/aperture before fixing in place.
INSTALLATION
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. Ensure all combustible materials such as curtains and shelves are well clear of the appliance.
If other appliance/s are located below the hob we recommend conducting a temperature verification test to confirm any rise in temperature of the cabinet materials are within allowable limits and meet requirements specified in EN30-1-1, EN1949, EN1645-1, EN1646-1, EN1647, and EN721.
The performance of this appliance meets the requirements of the European Standard for Domestic Cooking Appliances (EN30) which specifies a maximum allowable temperature rise of the furniture into which the appliance is installed of 65^ C above the ambient temperature.
We recommend the installation follows the minimum dimensions shown in this manual as any deviation could result in excessive temperature rise. If minimum dimensions must be reduced, due to design constraints, a temperature rise test of all furniture fitted around the unit MUST be performed. The design is deemed permissible providing the results of this test comply with the allowable temperature rise specified above and with all standards in force. In addition comply with all requirements detailed within the furniture manufacturer's material specification. Where minimum dimensions are reduced we recommend protecting with non combustible material.
On completion of the installation a warning notice complying with EN721 Annex A should be affixed adjacent to the appliance.
