Igniting Cooktop Burners without Electricity
If there is a power failure the cooktop burners can be lit with
a match.
A. Hold a burning match ½” from the burner head, keeping
your hand as far horizontally away from the burner as
possible.
B. Push and turn the burner control knob to HI/lighting
position. As soon as the burner flame lights move your
hand away. With your other hand, keep holding the
knob pressed for a few seconds so that the burner safety
device can ‘sense’ the heat of the flame.
C. Turn the burner control knob to the OFF position when
you have finished using it.
Cleaning
You can remove the burner head for cleaning; see the
‘Cleaning your Range’ section of these instructions.
Note: You should wipe the top surface of the range around
the cooktop burners as soon as possible after spills occur.
Note: Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking of
the grates. This does not affect the durability of the enamel
and may be cleaned off with a metal polish.
The Griddle (Optional extra)
The griddle fits the left-hand cooktop grids, front to back. It is
designed for cooking food on directly. Do not use pans of any
kind on it. The griddle surface is non-stick and metal cooking
utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the surface. Use heat
resistant plastic or wooden utensils.

WARNING!
The griddle will get very hot in use. Take great care.
DO NOT touch it unless you are sure that it has
cooled down.
Do not put it across the grate – it will not fit properly and will
be unstable.
Note: Do not put it on the center burner – it is not designed
for the center burner grates and will be unstable.
Using the Griddle
Position the griddle over the maintop burners resting on the
grate.
Check that it is securely located.
The griddle can be lightly brushed with cooking oil before
use. Light the maintop burners. Adjust the flame heights to
suit.
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes before
adding food. Leaving it longer may cause damage.
The flame can be turned down by turning the control knobs
towards the low position marked ‘LO’ on the control panel.
Always leave space around the griddle for the gases to
escape.
Note: Never use two griddles side by side.
After cooking allow the griddle to cool before cleaning.
