How To Keep Your Gas Cooktop In Shape

Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your gas cooktop, disconnect it from the electrical power supply.
To extend the life of the gas cooktop, it is absolutely indispensable that it is cleaned carefully, thoroughly and usually, please keep in mind to the following:

• The enameled parts and the glass top must be washed with warm water without using abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;

• The removable parts of the burners should be washed usually with warm water and soap, make sure to remove caked-on substances;

• Automatic ignitor pin, the end must be cleaned carefully and usually, make sure ignition keep working normally.

• Stainless steel top plate and other steel parts can be stained if keep touch with high concentration calcareous water or corrosive detergents(containing phosphorus). To extend the life, we advise these parts be rinsed thoroughly with
  water and dry them by blowing, It is a good idea to clean up any spills too.

• After glass cooktop working, the surface must be cleaned by a damp cloth to remove dust or food residues. Glass surface should be cleaned regularly withwarm water and non-corrosive detergent. First, to remove all food residues or
  greases with a cleaning scraper, e.g.

Cera la «o* (not supplied) (Fig. 1).
While the cooking surface is warm, clean it with a suitable cleaning product and paper towels, then rub with a damp cloth and dry surface. Such as aluminum foil, plastic items, objects made of synthetic material, sugar or foods with a high sugar content that have been melted onto the surface, it must be removed immediately. While the cooking surface is still hot, clean it with a scraper and a transparent protective film which prevent to make more dirt. This also protect the surface from damage caused by food with a high sugar content.
Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaning products, these holds true for chemically aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays and stain removers(Fig. 2 );

• Cleaning the grill/pan support, it is recommended to clean it while it is still hot.
  To move grill away from the cooktop and put it in sink, remove the food residues or grease first, after grill has cooled, rinse it with water.

Greasing the gas valves
Over time, the gas valves may be sticked, and it is difficult to turn on/off. For thiscase, should clean the inside of valve and greased it.
Note: This procedure must be performed by a authorized technician.

Practical Advice

Practical advise on using the burners
For best performance, follow these general guidelines:

• Use the appropriate cookware for each burner in order to prevent the flame to reach the side of the pot or pan see chart.
• Always use cookware with a flat bottom and keep the lid on.
• When the contents come to a boil, turn the knob to “Low”.

To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner And Nozzle Specifications”.
Practical Advice On Using The Half Fish-kettle Burner
The two central burners, or half fish-kettle burners, are elliptic in form and can be turned up to 90°. This makes the cooktop more flexible in terms of how it can be used.

To turn the two central burners 90°, proceed as follows:

• Make sure that the burners are cool;
• Lift the burner completely out of its housing;
• Replace it in its housing in the position desired;
• Make sure that the burners are positioned correctly before use.
• In addition, the two central burners can be used in tandem or separately with cookware of different.

For best performance, keep in mind the following:

• All types of casseroles can be used on the ceramic glass cooking surface.

• However, it is important that the bottom be perfectly flat. Casseroles with thicker bottom distribute heat more evenly.
  The cookware bottom diameter at least as large as the cooking area so that all of the heat produced by the heating element is used.

• Make sure that the bottom of the pot is always dry and clean to insure good contact between the cookware and the cooking surface. This also extend the life of pots and ceramic glass surface as well.

• Do not use the same cookware which for gas burners because the concentrat ed heat they produce can deform the bottom of the pot. Therefore, you will not achieve best results when using these pots on the ceramic glass surface.

Installation Instructions For Built-in

The following instructions are directed at the qualified installer, so the installation and maintenance procedures may be followed in the most professional and expert manner.
Important: Unplug the electrical connection before performing any maintenance or regular upkeep work.

Positioning for gas cooktop
The following requirements must be observed:

• a) The room must be fitted with a ventilation system which ventilate smoke and gases from combustion to the outside of rooms.
  This must be done by hood or electric ventilator.
  In a chimney stack or branched flue.
  (exclusively for cooking appliances)
  Directly to the outside

• b) The room must be allowed for the influx of the air which for proper combustion.
  The air flow for combustion purposes must not less than 70.6 cu ft/h per kW of installed capacity. The air supply will be effected by influx from the outside through a duct, its inner cross section is at least 6.1 cu in and must not be blocked accidentally.
  The gas cooktop without safety devices, to prevent flame go out accidentally, must have a ventilation working on twice volume. For example, a minimum of 12.2 cu in(Fig. 3). Otherwise, the room can be vented indirectly through adjacent rooms which is fitted with ventilation ducts to the outside. Al though the adjacent rooms are not shared areas, bedrooms, but fire risk is hidden (Fig. 4).
  Adiacent room

• c) Intensive and prolonged working of the gas cooktop that need to intensify ventilation, e.g. opening windows or increasing the power of the air intake system(if present).

• d) Liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air, so settle it downward. Rooms in which LPG tanks are installed must be fitted with ventilation to the outside to avoid of gas leakage.
  Therefore, LPG tanks which are empty or partially full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or spaces below ground level(cellars etc.). It is a good idea to keep only the tank which is working currently in the room, and make sure that it is not closed to heating source(ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc.).

Installation of built-in gas cooktop (GH60SF for examle)
The gas cooktops are designed with protection degree against excessive heating, the appliance can be installed next to cabinets, and the height should not exceed the cooktop.
For a correct installation, the following precautions must be followed:

• a) The cooktop may be located in a kitchen, a diner or bed/sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower room.
• b) The furniture standing near to the unit, it is higher than the working boards, must be placed at least 4.33 in distance to the edge of the board.
• c) The cabinets should be positioned near to the hood at a height of 16.5 in at least(Fig. 5).
• d) Cooktop should be installed directly under a cupboard, the latter should be at least 27.5 in from the worktop.
• e) Fixing fittings(hooks, screws) are provided to place the cooktop on work top, measure 0.79 to 1.57 in in thickness(see Fig. 6). Note: Use the hooks contained in the accessories bag.
• f) In the event the gas cooktop is not installed on a built-in oven, a wooden panel must be inserted for insulation. This panel must be placed at least 0.787 in distance from the bottom of cooktop.
  Important: When installing the cooktop on a built-in oven, the oven should be placed on two wooden strips, in the case of a joining cabinet surface, remember to leave a space of 1.77 × 22 in at least from the back side .
  When install cooktop on a built-in oven without forced ventilation, ensure that have air inlets and outlets to ventilate the interior of the cabinet adequately.

Gas Connection For Gas Cooktop

The gas cooktop should be connected to the gas-supply by a registered installer. During installation it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the cooktop for the convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connect the cooktop to the gas mains or liquid gas, it must be carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed “Adapting To Different Types Of Gas “. In the case of connection to liquid gas by tank, use pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in force.
Important: For safety, for the correct regulation of gas use and long life of the cooktop, ensure that the gas pressure conforms to the indications given in table 1 “Burners And Nozzle Specifications”.

Connection to non-flexible tube(copper or steel)

• Connection to the gas source must be done in such a way as to not create any stress points at any part of the gas cooktop.
• The cooktop is fitted with an adjustable “L” shape connector and a gasket to the gas supply.
• The connector should be dismounted and the gasket must be replaced. The feeding connector of the gas to the cooktop is threaded 1/2 in gas tank. Connection to flexible steel tube
• The gas feed connector to the cooktop is threaded, 1/2 in connector for round gas pipe. Only use pipes and sealing gaskets that conform to the standards currently in force. The maximum length of the flexible pipes must not exceed 78.7 in. Once the connection has been made, ensure that the flexible metal tube does not touch any moving parts and not be crushed.

Check the seal
Once the cooktop was installed, make sure all the connections are properly sealed, use a soapy soluion to test, never use flame.

Electrical Connection For Gas Cooktop

The cooktop fitted with a tripolar electrical supply cord which are designed to be used alternating current .According to the indications on the rating plate located under the cooktop. The earthing wire can be identified by its yellow-green colour.
In the case of installation over a built-in electric oven, the electrical connections for the cooktop and oven should be independent, not only for safe purpose, but also be convenient to remove them in the future.
Fit the supply cord with a standard plug for the demand rate indicated on the rating plate or connect it directly to the electrical mains. In the latter case, a single pole switch must be placed between the cooktop and the mains, with a minimum opening between the contacts of 0. 12inch in compliance with current safety codes(the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the switch). The power supply cord must be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature in excess of 122°F than room temperature at any point. Before actual connection make sure that:

• The fuse and electrical system can withstand the load required by the cooktop;
• The electrical supply system is equipped with an efficient earth hook-up according to the norms and regulations prescribed by law;
• The plug or switch are easily accessible.

Adjustment of the reduced valve flow

Valve adjustment
Valve adjustment should be done with the control knob set at burner ON saving flame position.
Remove the knob and shell, and adjust the flame with a tiny screwdriver(see fig.7 below).

To check the adjusted flame: heat the burner at full open position for 10 minutes. Then turn the knob into the saving setting. The flame should not extinguish nor move to the nozzle. If it extinguish or moves to the nozzle, readjust the valves.

Flame selection
As the burners are adjusted correctly, the flame should be light blue, and the inner flame should be clear. The size of flame depends on the position of the related control knob.

See fig.8 for various operating options(flame size selection). The burner should be set at a large flame during the initial phase of cooking, it make food boil quickly. Then should turn knob to the saving flame position to maintain the cooking. It is possible to adjust the flame size stepless.
It is prohibited to adjust the flame between the burner off and burner on large flame positions.
High quantity of energy can be conserved if the cooktop is used correctly, parameters are designed correctly, and appropriate cookware is used. The energy conservation be as follows:

• Up to 60% are conserved when proper pots are used,
• Up to 60% are conserved when the unit is operated correctly and the suitable flame size is chosen.

It is a prerequisite for efficient and energy-saving operation of cooktop that the burners are kept clean at all times(in particular the flame slots and nozzles).

Pressure regulator adjustment
Please do remember that pressure regulator adjustment should be done by a qualified technician.
Remove the cap of gas regulator, adjust the spring(see fig.9) to convert the gas to be LPG; and convert gas type to be NG by inverting the spring and install it(see fig. 10).
