Using your Range
Avoid using unstable or oddly shapen pans that may tilt
easily and pans with a very small base diameter e.g. milk
pans, single egg poachers.
The minimum pan diameter recommended is
4¾” (12cm) for the outer burners and 6/” (16cm) for
the center burner.
If after lighting, a cooktop burner’s fl ame goes
out, turn it off and leave it for one minute before
relighting it.
Igniting Cooktop Burners without Electricity
If there is a power failure, the cooktop burners can
be lit with a match.
1. Hold a burning a match ½ inch from the burner
head keeping your hand as far horizontally away
from the burner as possible.
2. Push and turn burner control knob to HI/ lighting
position. As soon as the burner fl ame 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 fl ame.
3. Turn burner control knob to OFF position when
you have fi nished 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 aff ect the
durability of the enamel and may be cleaned off
with a metal polish.
The Griddle (optional extra)
The griddle fi ts the left hand cooktop grids, front
to back. It is designed for cooking food on directly.
Don’t 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.
Don’t put it across the grate - it will not fi t properly
and will be unstable.
NOTE:
Don’t 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
fl ame heights to suit.
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of
5 minutes before adding food. Leaving it
longer may cause damage.
The fl ame 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.
