Operation

To light the grill, push in the control knob and
turn to full rate (see Fig 2). Hold a lighted
match or taper to the burner and push the
control knob in and hold. It is necessary to
hold the knob depressed after the burner has
ignited for approximately 10-15 seconds, to
allow the thermocouple probe to reach
temperature, before releasing the knob.
Should the flame go out when the knob is
released, the procedure should be repeated
holding the knob depressed for slightly
longer.

For models fitted with spark ignition the
procedure is similar except that the burner
can be ignited by depressing the ignition
button, which is located on the fascia. If the
burner has not lit within 15 seconds the
control knob should be released and the
burner left for at least one minute before a
further attempt to ignite the burner.
For simmering, turn the knob further anti-
clockwise to the low rate position.
To turn off: Turn the control knob until the line

on the control knob is aligned with the dot on
the control panel. Always make sure the
control knob is in the off position when you
have finished using the hotplate burners.

IMPORTANT:

•

Each burner will support pans from 10 to
22 cm diameter, care should be taken not
to overload the appliance as performance
may be reduced.

•

The following pan sizes are the maximum
we recommend: electric hotplate 18cm
dia, auxiliary burner 20cm dia, semi-rapid
burner 2x20cm dia or 1x22cm dia with
1x18cm dia.

•

When using small pans the flames
should not spread beyond the base of the
pan as this will reduce the efficiency of
the burner.

•

Avoid old or misshapen pans as these
may cause instability.

•

The lid must be opened fully prior to
using the hotplate burners.

Using the Electric Hotplate

Ensure the electricity is switched on. The
hotplate control is numbered from 1 to 6. To
turn it on, rotate the knob either clockwise or
anti-clockwise to the required position. Position
1 is the coolest setting. To turn off, rotate the
knob until the line or pointer on the knob lines
up with the zero on the control panel.

The hotplate is a sealed construction and
transfers heat through conduction. For
maximum efficiency a correctly sized pan with
a flat heavy gauge base should be used. Pan
size should be the same or slightly larger (up
to 2.5cm oversize).

The grill

1. Ensure gas cylinder/supply is connected

and turned on. In the event of a gas smell
turn off at gas cylinder/mains and contact
supplier.

2. To light: Open door, push in the control

knob and turn to full rate (see Fig 2).
Hold a lighted match or taper to the
burner and push the control knob in and
hold. The burner should ignite and the
control knob should be held in for 10-15
seconds before release. If the burner
goes out, repeat procedure holding
control knob for slightly longer.

3. For models fitted with spark ignition the

procedure is similar except that the
