DESCRIPTION OF THE HOB

1. Control Knobs
2. Triple Ring Burners
3. Pan Support
4. Ignition Point
5. Safety Valve (Thermocouple)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The symbols on the control knobs corresponding to the following:

• OFF No gas flow
• Maximum gas flow
• Minimum gas flow

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the appliance, make sure the ignition knob is in the “OFF” position and turn on the main cock. After using, ensure to turn off the ignition knob and main cock.

TURN ON THE APPLIANCE

Press and turn the ignition knob counter clockwise for 3 to 5 seconds to higher flame position slowly. Make sure that the burner has lit. When you start to use the unit for the first time or the unit has not been used for a long period of time, it sometimes happens that the burner is not ignited easily. This is because the gas needs to fill up the rubber hose before reaching to the burners. After lighting the flame, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds. This is necessary to heat up the thermocouple and activate the safety valve (if any), which would otherwise cut off the gas flow.

CONTROLLING THE FLAME

Control the knob between max and min to regulate the flame. Turn the knob counter clockwise to the minimum position to set the lowest cooking output level.
Remarks: When the flame is reduced suddenly it may happen to turn off the burner. Always make sure the burner is ignited when the power is in minimum level. Turn the ignition knob clockwise up to the OFF position without pressing it. The gas will stop supply to the burner and the burner will be switched off.
Remarks: Always make sure the ignition knob is at OFF position when not in use. ATTENTION: If the flame does not light after a few attempts, check that the burner cap and burner base are correctly positioned. CAUTION: Always ensure the burner cap is placed in its original position correctly as shown to avoid any incident and damage its original shape. The manufacture denies all claim arise from the burner due to improper placement of the burner ring.

DURING USE

RISK OF DEFLAGRATION

In the event of the burner flames being accidently extinguished, turn off the burner control knob and open a window or the door to the room. Do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least 1 minute.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially when the appliance is in use: keep natural

ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood)
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

REPLACE A BATTERY (1.5V SIZE D)

In the instance of a power cut, replace a new battery 1.5V x 1 Size D at the bottom of the appliance.

ADJUSTMENT ON AIR SHUTTER

Should the flame be of a yellow flame, burning black smoke, floating flame or deposit black soot beneath the cooking utensils, this would indicate mis adjustment of the air shutter. In order to obtain the best flame output, adjust the air shutter under the appliance by turning the air shutter up and down direction until the blue color flames are obtained.

EXAMPLE:

Perfect amount of air
The flame is transparent blue and the difference between the inner flame and the outer can be clearly seen. Insufficient air
The flame turn red and burns like a handle and unstable. Too much air
The flame is short and flutters.

FOR CORRECT USE OF THE HOB

For lower gas consumption and better efficiency, use only flat-bottomed pans of dimensions suitable for the burners, as shown in the table at the bottom. Also, as soon as a liquid comes to the boil take care to turn the flame down to a level that will just keep it boiling. During cooking processes involving fats or oils, watch your foods carefully because these substances may catch fire if brought to high temperatures.

CAUTION WHEN USING

1. Only use the appliance for cooking purpose only.
2. Do not hang up clothes, towel and etc to dry on the unit.
3. Do not use oversized hot plate which totally covers the burner surface.
4. If the flame is flickering or yellow colour, do not attempt to operate the appliance (Please refer to adjustment on air shutter).
5. Make sure the air shutter is well adjusted and the flame is properly burning.
6. Do not use a large iron plate to cover burners.
7. In case of abnormality, including strange sound, abnormal combustion when the burners are lit, turn off the burners and the main cock immediately and contact the authorized service technician.
8. When the appliance will not be used for a long period of time, make sure the cock is turn off.
   Warning: The use of inappropriate hob guards can cause accidents.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains and gas supplies then allow it to cool down.

GENERAL CLEANING

Wash cast iron with lukewarm water and detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaner which might damage them.
Wash the burner caps often with boiling water and detergent, taking care to remove all deposits after cooking.
The trivet can also be washed in a dishwasher.
For stubborn dirt, clean using non-abrasive detergents with lukewarm water. Do not use scouring pads, steel brush or acids for cleaning.
Clean the hob regularly with a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a little liquid detergent. Do not use the following products:

• bleaches;
• soaped scouring pads;
• steel brush scouring pads;
• stain removers for baths or sinks.

If the hob gets very dirty, use specific commercial cleansing products.

IGNITION PLUG

Automatic burner ignition is provided (when installed) by a ceramic plug and a metal electrode.
Periodically clean these parts of the hob thoroughly. In addition, to avoid ignition difficulties, check that the cavities in the burner are not obstructed. To remove deposits from the burner cavities, remove the cap and separate the two parts (see diagram on the right). After cleaning, put the two parts back together and return them correctly to their position. After washing, replace the trivet, checking that they are correctly positioned.

ADDITIONAL INFO (SAFETY CLAUSES)

Consistently clearing the blocked ring hole to prevent backfire. During cooking, prevent the gravy from over flooding the gravy tray. The ring hole is blocked by gravy due to over flooding. It will result to happen:

1. Back fire may cause breakage of panel.
2. Flame extinguishes/cannot sustain.

To clean the inner ring cap which blocked with gravy or soot, please wash the cap with water to clean up the gravy covered on the surface (Do not wash when the cap is hot after using).
Then use a fine needle, pin or wire, (size approve. S1 mm) to clean the hole that still blocked with gravy or soot. Fit the cap back to original position when it is completely dry.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION TECHNICIAN

CAUTION: This appliance must only be installed and used in rooms l1.) with permanent ventilation to local standards.

Installation of the appliance and its connection to the gas supplies must only be carried out by qualified technician. Before any procedure, it is important to check that the appliance is DISCONNECTED from the gas supplies. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage arising from installation in breach of the regulations in force or from failure to comply with the accident prevention regulations.

INSTALLATION PREMISES

For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air necessary for the combustion of the gas must be able to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow into the room directly through openings in the outside walls. These openings must have an unobstructed cross-section not less than 2m3/h for each kw of power (see total power in kw on the appliance rating label).
This opening must be constructed so that it will not be obstructed from inside or outside, or constructed close to the floor. The opening is recommended to be on the side opposite to that on which the flue gases are discharged. If it is not feasible to provide these openings in the room where the appliance is installed, the necessary air may be taken from an adjacent room, provided that:

• This room is not a bedroom or a hazardous environment;
• Install the built-in hob in a well-ventilated room and keep it away from any combustible or flammable objects such as paper or oil.
• Place the built-in hob on a stable and levelled surface.
• If the built-in hob is to be installed close to combustible objects (such as wooden walls, wooden shelves), it should be installed at least 150mm from the side walls. Even if the combustible material is protected by stainless steel sheet, a clearance of 150mm is required for safety purpose. The clearance between the appliance and above combustible shelves or the cooker hood must be at least 650mm.
• If the separator is placed underneath the hob, the recommended distance from the surface of the kitchen worktop should be more than 150mm. Please refer to diagram below.
• Connect the gas hose with clamp to tighten. Upon complete of gas installation connections, it is compulsory to check for the gas leakage at the joint with soap test.
• Turn the burner knob in OFF position and turn on gas supply regulator.
• Apply soap test to joint on connector and hose as below.
• Formation of bubbles indicates leakage and must be tightened the hose clamp and check on all joint parts to ensure there is no faulty.
• Repeat the soap test until everything is fine.
• If there is a bubble after the soap test, please authorized service technician.

Never use a flame to make this check.

Discharge of flue gases

Gas cooking appliances must discharge their flue gases through hoods connected directly to flues or the outdoors. If it is not possible to install the hood an electric fan must be installed on the outside wall or the window of the room, provided it is possible for the ventilation opening to be increased in proportion to the delivery rate of the fan.
For a kitchen, the delivery rate of this electric fan must guarantee an hourly air exchange of 3-5 times its volume. In both instances, the use of flues already used by other appliances to discharge the flue gases is forbidden.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the above problem persists, turn off the appliance immediately. Contact the authorized service technician for repair.
