CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER TO THE APPLIANCE
This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure butane or propane gas and fitted with the appropriate low-pressure regulator via a flexible hose. The hose should be secured to the regulator and the appliance with hose clips/nuts. This plancha is set to operate a 28 mbar regulator with butane gas, and a 37mbar regulator with propane gas, and a regulator with butane/propane mixture at 37mbar, and a regulator with butane/propane mixture at 50mbar and a regulator with butane/propane mixture at 30mbar. Use a suitable regulator certified to BSEN 16129: 2013. Please consult your LPG dealer for information regarding a suitable regulator for the gas cylinder.
BEFORE USE PLEASE CHECK FOR LEAKAGE!
Never check for leaks with a naked flame, always use a soapy water solution.
TO CHECK FOR LEAKS

liquid with 3 parts water.
Ensure the control valve is “OFF”.
Connect the regulator to the cylinder and ON/OFF valve to the burner, ensure
the connections are secure then turn ON the gas.
Brush the soapy solution on to the hose and all joints. If bubbles appear you
have a leak, which must be rectified before use.
Retest after fixing the fault. Turn OFF the gas at the cylinder after testing.
If detected leakage can not be rectified, do not attempt to cure leakage but
consult your gas dealer.
In the event of gas leakage, turn off the gas supply.

The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you have the correct items before operating the plancha.
The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the country of use. The length of the hose must be 1.5 meters (maximum). Worn or damaged hose must be replaced. Ensure that the hose is not obstructed, kinked, or in contact with any part of the plancha other than at its connection.

Non-abrasive scouring powder can be used on stubborn stains, then rinse with
water.

paper clip).
Inspect burner for any damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with a new burner. Reinstall the burner, check to ensure that the gas valve orifices are correctly positioned and secured inside the burner inlet (venturi).
In some cases your plancha will light back because of an insect crawling inside the burner venturi or a spider spinning its web inside the burner. This can be rectified by using a bottle brush inserted through the burner venturi and pushing it into the burner over the burner length. If condition persists consult your gas dealer.
