Overview

This document serves as a comprehensive user and installation manual for a range of gas cooktops, including models GHS607W, GHS607S, GHC607W, GHC607S, GHC617W, GHC617S, GHS917W, GHS917S, GHC937W, GHC937S, 72K315W, 72K315S, GHR12W, GHR12S, GHR92W, GHR92S, WHG640WA, and WHG640SA. It provides essential information for safe operation, maintenance, and installation, ensuring users can maximize the appliance's potential while adhering to safety standards.

Function Description

The gas cooktop is designed for domestic cooking applications, offering a versatile range of hotplates to suit different culinary needs. Each burner is controlled by a dedicated knob, allowing for precise flame adjustment from 'HIGH' to 'LOW' settings. The cooktop features either mains-powered or battery-powered electronic ignition, enabling quick and convenient lighting of the burners. For models with mains-powered ignition, depressing any knob releases sparks to all burners, while push-button ignition models require pressing a dedicated button until the flame establishes. In the event of an electrical power outage, burners can be lit manually using an external ignition source.

The cooktop offers a selection of hotplate sizes: a small burner for low-heat and slow cooking, a medium burner for normal cooking and simmering, a large burner for fast heating and accommodating larger pots, and a wok burner specifically designed for very fast heating with woks or large pots. This variety allows users to optimize cooking efficiency and energy consumption by selecting the appropriate burner for their cookware and desired heat level. The appliance is designed to be integrated into a benchtop, providing a sleek and functional addition to the kitchen.

Usage Features

The manual emphasizes several key usage features to ensure safety and optimal performance. Users are advised to place pots centrally over the burner and adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the pan's edge, which conserves gas and prevents handle damage. The cooktop is compatible with all common types of pots and pans, including aluminium, stainless steel, cast iron, and ceramic, provided they have flat bases for stability and to prevent spills.

For safety, the manual strongly warns against using asbestos mats, wire mats, grids, or aluminium foil, as these can lead to overheating, cracked enamel, or broken glass, potentially voiding the warranty. Woks should only be used on the designated wok burner with its support trivet. During operation, hands should be kept clear of the burners when lighting. If a burner fails to light within five seconds, the knob should be turned to 'OFF' to allow gas to disperse before attempting to light it again. Burners must only be operated between 'HIGH' and 'LOW' settings; intermediate settings are not supported. The appliance is not intended for use as a space heater, and proper ventilation is crucial, especially in confined areas.

The cooktop is designed for use in various domestic and similar environments, including staff kitchens, farmhouses, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast establishments. However, models without a flame safeguard on each burner are explicitly not to be installed in marine craft, caravans, or mobile homes. The manual also includes detailed instructions for converting the cooktop from Natural Gas to LPG, which involves replacing injectors and adjusting the regulator settings. This conversion process is critical for ensuring the appliance operates safely and efficiently with the correct gas type.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning and care are essential for maintaining the cooktop's appearance and functionality. Before any cleaning, the appliance must be turned off and allowed to cool. For enamel surfaces, persistent stains can be removed with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or wax polishes. Stainless steel surfaces require regular cleaning with warm soapy water and rinsing with clean water. For heavily soiled stainless steel, a specialized stainless steel cleaner should be used, following the polish or brushing lines. Abrasive scourers or steel wool are strictly prohibited on stainless steel.

Trivets, burner caps, and crowns can be easily removed for separate cleaning. After cleaning, it is crucial to ensure these components are thoroughly dried and correctly seated. Flame ports should be checked for any blockages and cleared with a toothpick or brush if necessary. The polished finish of the burner caps requires extra care during cleaning to prevent scratching; a non-abrasive cleaning compound and a soft, dry cloth are recommended for heavy soiling. Trivets and burners should not be cleaned in a dishwasher.

The ignition electrode and flame safeguard sensor should be gently cleaned with a damp cloth to prevent lighting difficulties, ensuring they are dry before use. The injector must also be kept free of foreign material, and a thin piece of wire can be used to clear its orifice if needed. The manual also provides a troubleshooting guide to help users identify and resolve common issues, such as burners not lighting, uneven flames, or overheating. This guide covers problems like gas supply issues, dirty ignition electrodes, incorrectly fitted burner components, and incorrect pot usage. For battery-ignition models, periodic battery replacement is necessary, and the manual details the correct installation orientation.

The document stresses that servicing must only be carried out by authorized personnel, and a professional inspection every five years is recommended to maintain safe operation. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized service person. These maintenance guidelines are crucial for prolonging the appliance's lifespan and ensuring its continued safe and efficient operation.
