ArtNo.311-0002 Pan with rim

Adjust the flame height to suit by turning the knob counter-

clockwise 

(Fig. 2.3)

. On this range the low position is beyond 

high, NOT between high and off. The ‘

LO

’ marks the low 

position. This setting is ideal for simmering.
If a burner flame goes out, the burner will detect this, and 

automatically relight. However, if there has been a large 

spill or boil-over, we recommend turning the burner off and 

cleaning the area, before relighting. 

If a burner does not ignite within four seconds, turn off 

the control knob and leave it for five minutes, before 

relighting it.

Make sure flames are under the pans 

(Fig. 2.4)

. For safety 

reasons, adjust the flames so that they do not extend beyond 

the edge of the cooking utensil. Using a lid will help the 

contents boil more quickly.
Turn pan handles so they don’t extend over the edge of the 

range or another burner, whilst it is on. Large pans should be 

spaced well apart. 
Pans and kettles with concave bases or down-turned base 

rims should not be used 

(Fig. 2.5)

.

Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats, are 

NOT recommended 

(Fig. 2.6)

. They will reduce burner 

performance and could damage the grates.
Avoid using unstable or misshapen pans that may tilt easily 

and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk pans, 

single egg poachers 

(Fig. 2.7)

.

Igniting Cooktop Burners without Electricity

If there is a power failure the cooktop burners can be lit with 

a match.

1. 

Hold a burning match ½” from the burner head, keeping 

your hand as far horizontally away from the burner as 

possible.

2. 

Push and turn the burner control knob to HI/lighting 

position. As soon as the burner flame lights move your 

hand away. 

3. 

Turn the burner control knob to the OFF position when 

you have finished using it.

Griddle

Before using the griddle for the first time, clean it with warm, 

soapy water to remove dust and dry with a soft, lint free, 

cloth. A stainless steel cover fits on top of the griddle when it 

is not being used. The cover must be removed before turning 

the griddle on.
Make sure the grease tray is under the front edge of the 

griddle to catch food residue and grease 

(Fig. 2.8)

.The 

griddle can be lightly brushed with cooking oil before use. 
Push and turn the griddle control knob counter clockwise to 

the preferred temperature 

(Fig. 2.9)

.

Preheat the griddle for 10-12 minutes. When it has reached 

the desired temperature the indicator light will turn on.



After cooking, allow the griddle to cool before 

cleaning.
