CONTROLS DESCRIPTION

1. Burner control knob (1.Left burner)
2. Burner control knob (2.Right burner)
3. Temperature Sensor (*),Only Left Burner has
4. Inner Brass Burner
5. outer Brass Burner

*NOTES ():ANTI DRYING GUARD FUNCTION (OVERHEATING PROTECTION FUNCTION)**

ANTI DRYING GUARD FUNCTION (Only the left burner has the function)

During process of cooking, in case water or food inside cooking pot or pan is dried out, and the bottom temperature of pot or pan will raise dramatically, and the ANTI DRY device will start working to cut off gas supply once the temperature reaches 298°C (according to lab test data, the sensor start up range is between 290°C~320°C on basis of different pots or pans). At the same time, the buzzer alarm will also starting working for 20 seconds.

IMPORTANT: Please place pot or pan at right position to ensure the pot or pan bottom are in proper touch with the sensor, or else the ANTI DRYING GUARD function may not work properly. The ANTI DRYING GUARD function will start working within a few minutes after the water is thoroughly dried out, and gas supply can not be cut immediately.

IMPORTANT: In case the left burner keeps burning without any pan above it for around 5 minutes (according to the laboratory test data), then the ANTI DRYING GUARD device will start working and will cut off gas supply, then buzzer Alarm will start working for about 20 seconds.

IMPORTANT: In case ANTI DRYING GUARD function starts up, the left burner can not be reignited until the sensor temperature drop to normal level. Anyway, if user takes away the dried out pot or pan, then it will take less time to reignite the left burner.

LOW BATTERY INDICATION FUCTION

When the battery voltage is too low to start up the ANTI DRYING GUARD, then the hob
will alarm for around 10 seconds to indicate user to change the battery. In this case the
left burner can not work properly, but other burners without ANTI DRYING GUARD can
work as usual.

IMPORTANT: After using of the gas hob or after starting up of the ANTI DRYING GUARD, please turn the knob to the off position to expand battery life. Otherwise, the ANTI DRYING GUARD sensor will be always working on standby detection status and battery power will be consumed continuously; When ANTI DRYING GUARD is on, do not try to ignite the burners before the buzz alarm is off.

NOTES:

• The electric ignition is incorporated in the knobs.
• The appliance has a safety valve system fitted, the flow of gas will be stopped if and when the flame should accidentally go out.

CAUTION:
If the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the gas off at the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before attempting to relight.

CAUTION:
Gas hobs produce heat and humidity in the environment in which they are installed. Ensure that the cooking area is well ventilated by opening the natural ventilation grilles or by installing an extractor hood connected to an outlet duct.

CAUTION:
If the hob is used for a prolonged time it may be necessary to provide further ventilation by opening a window or by increasing the suction power of the extractor hood (if fitted).

HOW TO USE THE COOKTOP

GAS BURNERS

Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 2.1) which control the safety valves. Turning the knob, so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel, achieves the following functions:

symbol closed valve
symbol maximum aperture or flow
symbol minimum aperture or flow

• The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids
• To reduce the gas flow to minimum rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the indicator towards the small flame symbol
• Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the maximum aperture and closed positions

IMPORTANT: To turn the control knob from the closed position “ ” to the maximum aperture position “ ”,first press in the knob and then turn it anti- clockwise.

N.B. When the cooktop is not being used, set the gas knobs to their  closed positions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.

Caution!
Do not cover the hob with aluminum foils.

Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Firstly, install two pcs of Standard R20 batteries(Common zinc-manganese battery, IEC mark R20) in the battery box at the bottom of the gas hob, and then perform the ignition and fire size adjustment according to the order of illustration.(illustrated in fig. 2.3)

LIGHTING THE BURNERS

To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:

1. Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise(fig. 2.3) to the full flame position marked by the “ ” symbol (fig. 2.1) ;hold the knob in until the flame has been lit. In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.
2. Wait for a few seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the knob (valve activation delay).
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow.

To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed “ ”position, wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

Note: If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.

IMPORTANT: After using the burner check the control knobs are in the closed “ ” position.

ADJUSTING THE AIR EJECTION

• When the flame is in poor condition, adjust the handle at the bottom of the hob to increase or reduce air amount(illustrated in fig. 2.4,fig. 2.5 and fig. 2.6),in order to combust completely.
• When the flame is long and yellow(incompletely combustion flame), turn clockwise to adjust the handle to increase the amount of air intake according to the position shown in the picture.
• When the flame is lifting out of the fire hole, turn anti-clockwise to adjust the handle to reduce the amount of air intake according to the position shown in the picture.
• When the flame reaches the normal combustion state, put salient point of the handle into the fixed hole.

handle 2: Adjust the flame of inner brass burner(left burner and right burner) or middle burner

OPERATING OF THE ANTI DRYING GUARD FUNCTION BURNER

Choose the PANS

a) shape: To ensure contact closely between the temperature sensor and the pan, the pan bottom must be flat ,and the diameter is at least 100mm.
b) material: Due to different thermal conductivity of pot, the accuracy of sensor temperature detection can be affected. The ceramic, aluminum alloy and ceramic layer (mainly heat insulating layer) with poor thermal conductivity are not suitable for the burner.

NOTES:

• when you use the left burner, please make sure that the dimension of pot’s bottom is over 100mm and the pot is made of stainless steel or iron alloy.
• IF the knob is not in the maximum position of the left burner,it will delay to cut out the gas valve when the pan is under water heating dry up,because the radiation heat of the pan is reduced.
• There are many factors that affect the sensitivity and operation time for the hob, and these may cause the function fail to start,such as unevenness of the pan bottom; the gas pressure drops; etc.
• If you cook on the left burner, such as frying and quick frying , it will cause ANTI DRYING GUARD FUNCTION to start and cut off the gas valve, Therefore, these should be cooked on the right burner because of above cause.
• After the hob alarms for the low power, please change two new batteries in time. If you don’t change them, the hob can still ignite normally , but the ANTI DRYING GUARD FUNCTION can’t work as normal due to the low power.
• ANTI DRYING GUARD FUNCTION is not completely intelligent,please donn’t leave the gas hob too far to avoid to happen accidents when it is working.
• After ANTI DRYING GUARD FUNCTION is activated, the left burner could be used only when the temperature of the sensor reduced to normal status.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER

The suitable burner must be chosen according to the diameter and the capacity used.

As an indication, the burners and the pots must be used in the following way

DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE BURNERS

do not use pans with concave or convex bases

It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the potentiality of the burner so as not to compromise the high output of the burners and therefore energy waste.

A small pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter amount of time since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass depends on the volume and the surface of the pot.

The use of the “Hood-Hob Connectivity” function

“Hood-Hob Connectivity” function.(It needs to be matched up and work together with Haier Range Hood which also has the same “Hood-Hob Connectivity” function)

1. Match-up : While the Range Hood is at standby state, long press a function button for 5 seconds, after a “ding dong” sound, the key start to blink for 15 seconds, within this 15 seconds, Rotate the Knob of the Hob, another “Ding dong sound” mean the match-up is done.
2. Hood-Hob Connectivity: After the match up is done, rotate the knob of the Hob and start the fire ,the Range Hood will start to work automatically; After turning off the knob of Hob, Range Hood will turn off automatically after 3 minutes.
3. Disconnetion: At the standby state, long press same function button for 5 seconds, after “ding dong” sound, the key quickly flashing for 3 seconds, meaning disconnection success.

Note: When the “Hood-Hob Connectivity” function is started, if touch the control panel and select other wind speed, the Range Hood would execute according to the latest instruction and change speed accordingly. Remember to turn off the Range Hood manually after usage because in this case, “Hood-Hob Connectivity” function will not be effective for the turn-off part.
