Operation
The burners on this appliance have xed
aeration and no adjustment is required. The
burners should ame as follows:-
Propane - The ames should burn quietly with
a blue/green colour with no sign of yellow tips.
Butane - Normally on initial lighting, a small
amount of yellow tipping will occur. This then
increases slightly as the burner heats up
Using the Hotplate Gas Burners
Ensure that the glass lid is open before
turning on the burners
Glass lids may shatter when heated.
Turn off all burners before shutting the

The Glass lid has a tendency to snap
shut towards the lowered position.

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. Flame supervision: Each burner is
controlled individually and is monitored
by a thermocouple probe. In the event
of the burner ames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control
and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner
for at least one minute.
3. To light: Push in the control knob and turn
to full rate - large ame (
). Light the hob
by depressing the ignition button, which is
located on the fascia. 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 ame go out when
the knob is released, the procedure should
be repeated holding the knob depressed
for slightly longer.
4. If the burner has not lit within 15 seconds
the control knob should be released and
the burner left for at least 1 minute before
a further attempt to ignite the burner.

burners
• Each burner will support pans from Ø10
to Ø22cm; 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: - Ø180mm (Dual Fuel
only)
• Auxiliary Burner: - Ø200mm
• Semi-Rapid Burner: - 2x Ø200mm or 1x
Ø220mm with 1x Ø180mm
• When using small pans the ames should
not spread beyond the base of the pan
as this will reduce the efciency of the
burner.
• Avoid old or misshapen pans as these may
