iNSTALLATiON
• An authorised person must install this appliance and
MUST provide a certificate of compliance. This certificate
should be retained along with purchase information.
• Before using the appliance, ensure that all packing
materials are removed from the appliance.
• In order to avoid any potential hazard, the installation
instructions in this booklet, and any labels on the
appliance must be followed.
• Ensure that all specified vents, openings and air spaces
are not blocked.
• Where the appliance is built into a benchtop, the
benchtop material must be capable of withstanding 85°C.
• Ensure that the duplicate rating label (in the instruction
pack) is attached to a readily-accessible adjacent surface,
so that the cooktop can be easily identified in the case
of a service call.
SERViCiNG
• Servicing MUST only be carried out by authorised
personnel.
• To maintain safe operation, it is recommended that the
product be inspected every five years by an authorised
service person.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an
authorised service person in order to avoid a hazard.
CLEANiNG
• Always ensure the appliance is turned off before cleaning.
• This appliance contains aluminium fittings. Do not use
caustic-based cleaners.
• Do not use steam cleaners, as this may cause moisture
build up on electrical components.
• Always clean the appliance immediately after any
food spillage.
CAUTION

CONTROLS
• Each burner is controlled by a control knob.
The markings on the control panel indicate which

LiGHTiNG BURNERS
Electronic ignition
These cooktops are fitted with mains powered ignition.
When the appliance has been connected and the power
is on, depressing any knob will release sparks to all burners.
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.
WARNING
• Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.
• If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to ‘Off’
position, allow gas to disperse, then try lighting again.
• 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.
Ch oice of burners
For your convenience there is a choice of burners:
• A small burner for special low heat and slow cooking.
• A medium burner for normal cooking and simmering.
(one on 4-burner models and two on 5-burner models).
• 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.
