SECTION FOR THE QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN

OVERALL DIMENSIONS

B = adjustable height (89/149mm)

INSTALLATION

PROVISION FOR VENTILATION

The room where the cooker is installed should have permanent ventilation as follows:

Ventilation must be in accordance with AS5601/AG 601 - Gas Installations. In general, the appliance should have adequate ventilation for complete combustion of gas, proper flueing, and to maintain the temperature of immediate surroundings within safe limits. Do not install in a bed-sitting room, a bathroom, or a shower room.

If there is another fuel-burning appliance in the same room, a higher level of ventilation will be required. You should consult the safety requirements.

In addition to the above, during prolonged use, opening a window in the same room is recommended. This will avoid the build-up of excessive moisture and condensation.

POSITIONING

Important: Fix the chain located next to the gas connection on both sides of the cooker to the rear wall to prevent the cooker from tilting. Both chains must be securely fixed.

Make sure that the wall surface behind the cooker is non-combustible (will not catch fire).

Where a painted surface is adjacent, a fire-retardant paint surface is recommended. Wallpaper, wood, or fabric should not be used behind or next to the cooker.

Clearances to combustible materials

Any adjoining wall surface (side or rear) situated within 200mm of any hob burner must be a suitable non-combustible material from the edge for a height of 150mm for the entire length of the cooker.

Any combustible construction above the cooker must be at least 650mm above the maintop. Ensure that a power and gas supply are nearby. The cooker should be located carefully so that the heat produced by it has plenty of space to escape. The diagram below shows an ideal configuration.

No part of any adjoining wall surface can be made of combustible materials. The protection of combustible materials required by Clause 5.12.1.1 of AS/NZS 5601 is the fixing of 5 mm thick ceramic tiles to the surface or attaching fire-resistant material to the surface and covering with sheet metal with a minimum thickness of 0.4 mm.

Clearances to non-combustible materials

If the cooker is being fitted next to cupboards or adjoining wall surfaces, which are within 200mm from the edge of the hob burner and of a suitable non-combustible material as specified in AS/NZS 5601, then ensure that a distance of at least 60mm is left between the edge of the cooker and the non-combustible material. This gap is to allow plenty of space for the heat produced by the cooker to escape on each side of the cooker.

Note: The cooker is fitted with 4 legs for an eventual alignment in height with the furniture (fig. 1 A).

WARNING: This appliance is not suitable to be installed on a base

Fitting the splash guard

Depending on the model. Proceed as follows: - Remove the packaging and the protective film from the splash guard. - Screw the splash guard onto the rear of the appliance using the 2 bolts. - Never use with lids or covers aftermarket covers.

Fix the oven to the rear wall using the chain and screws supplied.

WARNING - For safety reasons and to prevent tipping of the appliance, these stabilizing means must be installed.

The cooker is equipped with 2 chains fixed on each side at the rear of the cooker near the top (see Fig. A). The chains are fitted with "spring clips" which must be clipped to the "screw eyes" provided with the cooker.

Install the "screw eyes" as follows:

1. Drill four 6mm holes (position 1 - 2 - 3 - 4) in the wall as in Fig. A.
2. Insert part "R" into the holes then screw in the "screw eyes" part "G" see Fig. B.

Note: If the part provided is not suitable for the wall material please use an appropriate device to ensure secure holding of the "screw eyes" to the wall.

1. Bring the cooker near the wall and clip the chains on the "screw eyes" as in Fig. C.

IMPORTANT: If the cooker is moved for any reason (e.g. maintenance) resulting in the cooker being unclipped from the wall, the cooker must be re-clipped to the wall at the completion of the task.

A chain should be fitted by the installer within 50mm of the hose connection point to prevent strain on the hose when the cooker is pulled forward. The chain should restrict the appliance movement to no more than 80% of the hose length. After the chain is installed, check that there is no strain on the hose or gas connections when the cooker is pulled as far forward as the chain allows.

Stability bracket

WARNING: In order to prevent accidental tipping of the appliance, for example a child climbing onto the open oven door, the bracket must be installed.

Note: If the wall plug provided is not suitable for the wall material, please use an appropriate device to ensure secure holding of the screw to the wall.

GAS CONNECTION

Gas installation must be made in accordance with AS5601; also refer to rangehood manufacturer's recommendations. Check gas pressure, note the correct setting from the data plate sealed inside the front appliance drawer*.

Installing the gas cooker:

(Flexible connections are NOT supplied with this appliance)

• An inlet manifold extension pipe must be fitted to the appliance. Part supplied in the drawer of the appliance.
• Ensure that the pipe is connected using the washer provided and that the bracket is screwed to the appliance as shown in the diagram below.
• Fit the supplied pressure regulator (for Natural gas) using the NG test point adaptor and washer to the inlet manifold. Ensure the arrow is pointing towards the appliance and that the pressure test point is accessible from the final position.
• Push the cooker back and install the stabilizing chains.
• Connect the appliance inlet manifold to the consumer piping outlet using only fixed piping. This final connection is made when the product is pushed back into position by access under the cooker.

The hose assembly

• must comply with AS/NZS 1869 Class B or D,
• be of appropriate internal diameter 10mm and be kept as short as possible (less than 1.2mm)
• It must not be kinked.
• It must not be in contact with hot surfaces.

It is recommended that a service tap and union be fitted adjacent to the appliance inlet to facilitate future servicing.

5 burner models: set the burner pressure to 1kPa for Natural Gas and 2.75kPa for U-LPG with the wok burner operating at full rate. For commissioning of the appliance with the regulator for Natural Gas, the test point pressure should be 1.00kPa with all burners operating on HIGH.

Apply a manometer to the test nipple and reset the regulator if necessary. Do not forget to replace the test nipple screw and to leave the instructions book with the user.

Pressure test point for ULPG

A test point fitting must be installed between the piping and the appliance for the pressure to be checked to ensure it is operating for ULPG at 2.75 kPa. Be aware that the appliance has two gas inlets (L/R). Before performing the leakage test select which side will be the connection point and cap and pressure test the side that will not be used.

Pressure regulator for natural gas

A test point fitting must be installed between the piping and the appliance for the pressure to be checked to ensure it is operating for NATURAL GAS at 1 kPa. Be aware that the appliance has two gas inlets (L/R). Before performing the leakage test select which side will be the connection point and cap and pressure test the side that will not be used.

VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE INSTALLER

Do not attempt to turn or stress threaded elbow of the manifold: you risk damage to this part of the gas appliance which may void the manufacturers warranty.

Before Leaving – Check all connections for gas leaks. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe stability of the flame.

When satisfied with the cooker, please instruct the user on the correct method of operation.

In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried out, refer to the authorised service provider in your area.

GAS CONVERSION AND ADJUSTMENT

When used with natural gas, all burners have been preset at our factory and further adjustment should not be necessary. Conversion kits to other gases are available from the place of purchase. Do not attempt to fit the conversion kit yourself. Conversion to U-LPG gas should only be carried out by an authorized technician.

GAS ADJUSTMENTS

• Change the injectors.
• Adjust the minimum flow. When converting from Natural Gas to U-LPG, ensure that the NG regulator is removed and replaced with the Test Point Assembly. A gas regulator suitable for a supply pressure of 2.75 kPa should be part of the gas tank supply and should be adjusted with the wok burner operating at maximum.

Be safe

Please read the rest of the instruction book which contains important information to help you use the appliance safely and efficiently.

Gas and Electricity on

Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the appliance is plugged in and switched on. The ignitor needs electricity.

In case there is no electric current, the burner can also be lit using a match.

It is recommended that pans suitable to the size of the burner should be used as follows:

BURNERS	PANS
	min. max.
AUXILIARY	80 mm	160 mm
SEMI-RAPID	120 mm	200 mm
RAPIDE	200 mm	230 mm
TRIPLE CROWN	230 mm	260 mm

Always use pans with a flat base diameter, which are well balanced and stable in use. A pan which overhangs the hotplate should not be used. Avoid using old, misshapen pans, or pans which are unstable when placed on a flat surface. Do not use "split pans" as they are inherently unstable. To save gas, always position pans centrally over the burners and adjust the flames so that they do not lick up the sides of the pan and only the base is heated. Always put lids on saucepans and boil only the amount of liquid you need. When the liquid has boiled, adjust the setting to maintain a simmer. Do not light the burner until the pan is in position and turn off the burner before removing the pan. In hard water areas, descale kettles regularly. For safety, keep saucepan handles turned to a safe position so they are out of reach of small children and cannot be accidentally knocked.

To turn the burner OFF, turn the control knob clockwise to the OFF setting (marked with a dot ●).

Automatic electric ignition

To turn on a burner, press the knob corresponding to the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum position. Keeping the knob pressed, the electric automatic ignition of the burner will be started up. In case there is no electric current, the burner can also be lit using a match.

The small flame indicates the 'low position'.

Turn the knob to it after the contents of a pan have boiled.

The smaller burners are for smaller pans and simmering. Make sure flames are under the pans. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.

WARNING

It is not recommended to press the push button for ignition if all the burners are not located in the proper positions. The burner heads, burner skirts, and pan supports are removable for better cleaning: Always ensure that the burner skirts and heads are replaced correctly so that the burners function safely and correctly.

During the use of the appliance, pay attention that water or any liquid does not enter into the appliance through the holes of the burners or around the rods of the valves or the push button, electronic lighter.

Water or juice will produce dangerous short-circuits and can seriously damage the working of the Hotplate.

HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRIC OVEN

• Before cooking for the first time, we recommend operating the oven at 200°C for 30 minutes to remove any manufacturing greases and odors.
• Do not place items or pans directly on the oven bottom.
• Foil should only be used to cover food, not oven shelves or parts of the oven. When used improperly, it will obstruct air circulation, causing cooking problems and/or harmful accidents.

MULTIFUNCTION OVEN

The oven is fitted with:

• a lower heating element;
• an upper heating element;
• a circular heating element surrounding the fan.

N.B.: Always set the temperature on the thermostat knob before selecting any of the functions.

Light

When you turn the control knob to this position, the light will be on for all the following operations.

Defrost

The air at ambient temperature is distributed inside the oven for defrosting food very quickly.

Conventional cooking

Top and bottom heating elements are used together. Preheat the oven for about ten minutes.

This method is ideal for all traditional roasting and baking. For sealing red meats, roast beef, leg of lamb, game, bread, foil-wrapped food and flaky pastry. The middle shelf position is recommended.

Fan assist multilevel oven

Cooking of similar or different foods placed on different shelves (up to 2 levels at a time).

Fan cooking

Both top and bottom heating elements are used and the fan circulates the air inside the oven. Recommended for poultry, pastries, fish and vegetables. Heat penetrates the food better and both the cooking and preheating times are reduced. Different foods can be cooked at the same time in one or more positions. This function provides even heat distribution. Allow about ten minutes extra when cooking foods or more dishes at the same time.

Lower element

Using the lower element. Ideal for cooking all pastry based dishes. This allows you to cook dry pastry without over cooking the filling. Use this for flans, quiches, tarts, pâté and any cooking that needs more heat and radiation from below.

Grill

Caution: In this function the temperature control knob must be set from 50°C to Grill position. Using the top level element. Five minutes preheating is required to get the element hot. Keep the door closed when using the grill.

Fan assisted grilling

Caution: In this function the temperature control knob must be set from 50°C to Grill position. The top heating element is used in conjunction with the fan circulating the air inside the oven. Ideal for cooking thick food stuffs, whole pieces of meat such as roast pork, poultry, etc. Preheating is necessary for red meats but not for white meats. Place the food to be grilled directly on the shelf centrally, at the middle level. Slide the drip tray under the shelf to collect the juices. Make sure that the food is not too close to the grill. Turn the food over halfway through cooking.

Rotisserie (for some models only)

The top heating element is used in conjunction with the rotisserie providing the real flavour of a traditional roast.

GENERAL INSTRUCTION

Warning: remember ovens get hot; some parts naturally become very hot, notably the glass oven door and the protective strip. Keep children away from oven at all times and warn them about the danger.

GUIDE FOR CONVENTIONAL COOKING (Bake)

(Outer ring of upper electric element and lower electric element ON) The following Cooking Guides give the recommended shelf positions (counted from the bottom), thermostat settings and approximate cooking times for a range of baked items, using the conventional oven, using one tray only. Cooking results are a matter of personal preference and may easily be adjusted to suit individual requirements by slight adjustment of the temperature and or cooking time.

Preheating of the oven is recommended for 10-15 minutes or until the oven thermostat indicator light switches off to show the selected temperature has been reached.

When using a baking tray it should be placed centrally on the oven shelf with the short sides of the tray parallel to the sides of the oven. Do not use trays, tins or dishes larger than 380 mm (15") long, 356 mm (14") wide, as cooking results may be impaired.

PLATE WARMING

Ovenproof plates and dishes may be warmed in the oven on a low temperature setting. Remember: do not place items directly onto the oven base.

Warning: do not use foil to cover the oven shelves, or any part of the oven interior including the oven base. Foil should only be used to cover food and cooking dishes. Always place items which may boil over (e.g. fruit pies) on a baking tray to prevent spillage burning onto the oven base. Foil used improperly is a frequent cause of oven problems and painful accidents. Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the upper heating element: it will cause smoking and may start a fire.

Remember: do not place pans or items directly onto the oven base. Never leave the unit unattended at high heat settings. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillover that may start a fire. If a grease fire should occur in a pan, put out the flame by placing a lid on the pan. Never throw water on a grease fire. Close the door and turn off the gas supply.

GUIDE FOR FORCED CONVECTION COOKING

(Back rolled electric element with fan)

The accessories provided with the oven can be slotted in at 5 positions: the following guide concerns cooking times and thermostat settings using 2 shelves at the same time (in positions 2 and 4). Cooked results are a matter of personal preference and may easily be adjusted to suit individual requirements by slight adjustment of the temperature and/or cooking time, or when using more or fewer shelves at the same time. Preheating of the oven is recommended for 10-15 minutes or until the oven thermostat indicator light switches off to show the selected temperature has been reached.

When using a baking tray, it should be placed centrally on the oven shelf with the short sides of the tray parallel to the sides of the oven. Do not use trays, tins, or dishes larger than 380mm (15") long, 356mm (14") wide, as cooking results may be impaired.

USING THE GRILL

The grill is situated in the top of the oven compartment.

The grill pan should be located on the top oven shelf position. Always grill with the door closed.

Warning:

Do not place fatty foods too close to the grill and never leave the grill unattended. If fatty foods are grilled, or roast has been cooked in the oven at a high temperature, the grill element may smoke. This is not dangerous and the smoke is caused by the fat burning off when the grill element is hot. Leave the grill element on until the smoking has stopped, then use as normal. If a grease fire should occur in a pan, put out the flame by placing a lid on the pan. Never throw water on a grease fire.

Try to extinguish flames with the appropriate equipment (fire blanket or extinguishing foam). Never use water on cooking fat / oil fires.

If in difficulty call emergency services.

• Do not store or use flammable products or aerosol containers near the hotplate or burners.
• Never flambe, under an extractor - even if the ventilator is switched off. The high flames can cause fire.

For your safety and that of your children

• Do not store items that are attractive to children above or near the appliance.
• Keep children well away from the appliance: Remember that some parts of the appliance and the pans become very hot and dangerous during use, and will take time to cool down.
• When cooking, do not wear clothes that could catch fire and cause serious injury.
• Some "Wok" cooking pots are unstable. Check with the manufacturer before purchasing.
• Avoid using unstable and misshapen pans which may tilt easily and pans with a very small base diameter, e.g. milk pans, single egg poachers. The minimum pan diameter recommended is 125mm (5"). Smaller pans will be unstable. Very large pans may cause walls or knobs to overheat. Using pans which are too big may deform the control knobs or discolour the walls. This is not covered by the guarantee.
• Carefully place all pans centrally over the burners.
• Always position pan handles safely away from the front of the hotplate and out of danger, particularly from small children.
• Never leave frying pans with hot oil unattended.
• Pans and kettles with down turned base rims should not be used.

• Anti-tip restraint

PROBLEM SOLVER

Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:

Yellow tipping of the hob burner flame.

Sooting up of cooking utensils.

Burners not igniting properly.

Burners failing to remain alight.

Burners extinguished by oven door.

Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.

Your Installer should be contacted if you have any problems with the installation.

Before you call a service engineer please check if the problem is something you could fix yourself. The cause of the problem is often a simple one.

THINGS TO TRY BEFORE CALLING FOR AN ENGINEER

Burner does not burn well

Is the burner dirty or damp? Try cleaning and/or drying the burner. Appliance not suitable for your gas type? Check the identification plate on the hotplate base.

Burner does not ignite

Do the burners spark when you press the ignition button? If not, is the power on? See 'Checking the power supply' section further on. If the power supply is OK, then there is probably something wrong with the ignition system.

Are the electrode or burner slots blocked by debris?

Is the burner dirty or damp? Try cleaning and/or drying the burner. Is the burner trim correctly located?

Are the burner caps correctly located?

Check that there is not a problem with your gas supply. You can do this by making sure that other gas appliances you may have are working. Never use a match or lighter to test the gas supply!

Pan supports

Aluminium pans may cause a metallic marking on the pan supports which does not affect the durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal cleaner such as 'Brasso'.

Checking the power supply

First check the socket by trying out another piece of electrical equipment in it.

If that works, renew the fuse in the hotplate plug. Use a 10 amp fuse. If the fuse 'blows' again there is a fault on the hotplate. Do not use a fuse with a higher rating. Do not carry out other electrical work. Unplug the hotplate and tell your installer.

Power Failure

In the event of a failure in the electrical supply the hotplate burners may be lit using a match.

Ventilation

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the 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. For more detail see the Installation Instructions.
