Troubleshooting
What cleaning materials are recommended for the
hotplate?
See the ‘Cleaning’ section for recommended cleaning
materials. We do not recommend Mr. Muscle, as it
contains chemicals that may damage the surfaces of
your hotplate.
If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my
original installer to come back to fix it who pays?
You do. Service organisations will charge for their call-
outs if they are correcting work carried out by your
original installer. It’s in your interest to track down
your original installer.
Power failure
In the event of a failure in the electrical supply the
hotplate may be lit using a match.
Hotplate ignition or hotplate burners faulty
Is the power on?
If so is there something wrong with the power
supply?
Are the sparker (ignition electrode) or burner slots
blocked by debris?
Is the burner trim correctly located?
Are the burner caps correctly located?
See the section entitled ‘Cleaning’
Hotplate burners will not light
Make sure that the burner parts have been replaced
correctly after wiping or removing for cleaning.
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.
Do the burners spark when you push the burner
control knob? If not check the power is on.

This appliance is designed for domestic cooking
only. Use for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim.
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.
The hotplate should be serviced by a qualified service
engineer and only approved spare parts used. Have
the installer show you the location of the hotplate
control switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always
allow the hotplate to cool and then switch off at
the mains and before cleaning or carrying out any
maintenance work, unless specified otherwise in this
guide.
All parts of the hotplate become hot with use
and will retain heat even after you have stopped
cooking.
Take care when touching hotplate, to minimize
the possibility of burns, always be certain that the
controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool
before attempting to clean the hotplate.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using damp
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch
a hot surface. Never operate the hotplate with wet
hands.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of
a glove. They might catch fire if they touch a hot
surface.
