GAS CONNECTION

The connection must be made by a qualified gas fitter according to the relevant standard. If a flexible hose is used, take care that the hose cannot be trapped or kinked by doors, drawers etc, and that it is restrained from accidental contact to any hot surfaces, including the flue outlet of an under bench oven. The gas connection is positioned 35mm from the right-hand side (from front), 40mm in from the back edge.
The fitting is made up of:

1 elbow fitting “A”
1 gaskets “F”
1 LPG test point nipple adaptor “B”
The hob must be installed in a room with adequate ventilation (see installation section).

N. G.:

Fit the supplied NG regulator to the elbow fitting “A” using two spanners (note orientation of the NG regulator gas flow).
Connect the other side of the NG regulator to the gas inlet pipe with the correct ½” BSPT thread connector using two spanners.

UNIVERSAL L.P.G.:
Connect the LPG test point nipple adaptor “B” to the cooking hob inlet “A” and then connect to the gas inlet pipe with the correct ½” BSPT thread connector (or using the appropriate adaptor) using two spanners. Connect the other end of the pipe to the cylinder pressure regulator.
ORIENTATION OF THE ELBOW
The appliance is supplied with a gas connection oriented towards the centre of the cooking hob. The connection to the gas supply must be affected only from this side or in vertical position by turning the elbow downwards. To turn the elbow, follow these operations:

Loosen the nut
Turn the elbow
Lock the nut
Make sure that there are no leakages by testing with a soapy solution and brush.

IMPORTANT:

Never attempt to turn the elbow “A” without having first slackened off the relative lock nipple.
The seal “F” seals the gas connection. It is recommended that it be replaced when it begins to show even the slightest deformation or imperfection.
After connecting to the gas supply, check that the couplings are correctly sealed, using soapy solution and a brush, but never a naked flame.
Where a flexible hose assembly is used, ensure it is approved to AS/NZS 1869, Class B Ø10mm, and no longer than 1m. Any hose assembly must be restrained from accidental contact with the flue outlet of an under-bench oven.

OPERATIONS TO BE PERFORMED WHEN CONVERTING GAS TYPES

This operation can only be performed by an authorized person.
Remove the gratings and the burner covers.
Using a spanner, replace the nozzle injectors “J”

with either Natural Gas sized injectors or ULPG sized injectors.

REGULATING THE BURNER MINIMUM SETTING

When switching from one type of gas to another, the minimum flow rate must also be correct. The flame should not go out even when passing suddenly from maximum to minimum flame. To regulate the flame, follow the instructions below:

Light the burner.
Set the cock valve to minimum.
On gas valves provided with adjustment screw in the centre of the shaft.
Using a screwdriver with max. diameter 3mm, turn the screw inside the tap until the correct setting is obtained.
On gas valves provided with adjustment screw on the valve body.

Turn the screw “A” to the correct setting with a screwdriver.

LUBRICATION OF THE GAS TAPS

This can only be performed by an authorised person. It may be required if the gas taps become stiff and difficult to turn.
LEAK TESTING

Make sure gas control knobs are Off and turn the cylinder valve On.
Check for leaking joints by brushing with solution of half-liquid detergent and half water. If a leak is present, bubbles will appear (or you may hear a hissing sound). Retightening connections can generally repair a leaking joint. You must also check the gas hose and connection at the gas cylinder. If a leak cannot be resolved, do not proceed.

DO NOT USE NAKED FLAME FOR LOCATING GAS LEAKS. IF A LEAK PERSISTS CALL AN AUTHORISED GAS FITTER.

NOTE:
If an appliance cannot be adjusted to perform correctly, contact Eurolux service department.

INSTALLATION

Note:
These tops are designed to be fitted into kitchen fixtures measuring 600 mm in depth.
In order to install the cooker top into the kitchen fixture, a hole with the dimensions shown on the cutting size board must be made, keeping in consideration the following:

Within the fixture, between the bottom side of the cooker top and the upper surface of any other appliance or internal shelf there must be a clearance of at least 30 mm.
Keep at least 200mm from the periphery of the burners to any side or rear wall with combustible surfaces or keep the appliance sides at least 50mm from walls with non-combustible surfaces.
There must be a distance of at least 650 mm between the cooking surface of the hob and the lowest point of any range hood or wall cupboard positioned immediately above it (minimum distances in range hood instructions must also be observed).
It is essential to install a heat baffle between the bottom of the hob and the underlying unit.
The duplicate data plate should be fixed in an accessible position close to the appliance (inside face of cupboard door, side of cabinet etc).

Note:
Keep a safe distance away from combustible constructions.
After installation, all burners should be tested individually and together to ensure correct operation.
DISCHARGING PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION
Extractor hoods connected directly to the outside must be provided, to allow the products of combustion of the gas appliance to be discharged . If this is not possible, an electric fan may be used, attached to the external wall or the ceiling above the cooktop. The fan should have a capacity to circulate air at an hourly rate of 3-5 times the total volume of the kitchen .

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IGNITING THE BURNERS
The knob on your gas cooktop controls both ignition and the safety device. Proceed as follows to ignite the burners:

Press down & turn the knob for the burner you would like to use. Keep the knob strongly pressed in for approximately 1 second to allow the ignitor to light the gas and allow the thermocouple to heat up. Release the knob after approximately 1 second. The flame can be adjusted by turning the knob anti clockwise until it reaches the desired size. Only turn the knob between the High and Low settings, otherwise the burner will turn off.
To turn off the burner, push down & rotate the knob around to the ‘Off’ position.
Note: If the burner does not light within 12-15 seconds, turn the control knob back to the ‘Off’ position, and attempt re-ignition after 1 minute. This will allow any unburned gas to escape from the burner area.
If the burner does not light, firstly check that the cooktop is connected to electricity. If connected ensure that the gas is turned on and that the electrodes are sparking.
Also ensure that all burner caps are placed correctly on the burner rings.

USING THE BURNERS

For greater efficiency and less gas consumption, use pots and pans with the right diameters for the burners. Avoid having flames extending out from underneath the pans (refer to the table in the appliance details section for recommended sizing).
When cooking, always try to use a pot or pan with a flat base. Pots & pans with an uneven or curved base will cause the burner to run inefficiently and will take longer to cook your food.
Always heat the water to boiling point before placing food items to be cooked. After the water has boiled, the heat setting can be dropped to maintain the desired cooking temperature. This will speed up the cooking time and is more efficient.
In the event of a power outage, your gas cooktop can still be used. Press & turn the desired knob to the ‘High’ position and light with a match. Depress the knob after approx. 3 seconds and continue to operate the burner.
Large utensils exceeding the recommended size can cause excessive heat to reflect back onto the appliance, potentially damaging the appliance and causing a temperature hazard.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY VALVES

This safety device automatically closes the gas valve if there is any disruption of the gas flow to the appliance, or if the gas flame goes out.

CLEANING & Maintenance

CLEANING
Please follow the maintenance & cleaning guidelines below to keep your Eurolux cooktop in good working order.

Fault	Possible cause (corrective action)
No spark / No ignition of gas.	Power outage, appliance power turned off at

isolation switch, fuse blown / tripped, no gas to the appliance (check supplies). Spillage of liquid over burner (clean up spillage on burner components). Burner not assembled correctly (Refer to assembly instruction manual).
Burner ignites but flame goes out when control knobs released.| Control knob not depressed down enough when igniting burner, control knob being released from the ignition mode too early (try ignition again). Spillage of liquid over burner (clean up spillage on burner components). Burner not assembled correctly (Refer to assembly instruction manual). Faulty thermocouple (technician call out required call Service Centre).
Erratic / Abnormal flames or noise when operating the appliance.| Burner not assembled correctly (Refer to assembly instructions). Spillage of liquid over burner (Clean up spillage on burner components). Oversize cooking vessel being used on the appliance (use smaller cooking vessels). Internal ignition of burner (Turn off gas and reignite burner). Wrong gas type being used (check supply and data labels).

The cooktop should be cleaned regularly with all stains and boil overs being cleaned up. Do not allow stains and boil overs to become burnt onto the appliance.
Please ensure the cooktop is cold when cleaning, to avoid burns from hot components.
Try to minimise the use of specialized cleaning products. Attempt to clean with soapy water and a sponge. If this is not successful, a mild cleaner can be used.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourer type pads to clean the appliance. These can damage the stainless-steel finish.
A stainless-steel cleaner can be applied which gives the cooktop an extra shine. Only apply after cleaning with soapy water.
Avoid leaving acidic or alkaline substances on the cooktop.
Burners and enamelled components are only to be washed with soapy water & sponges. Do not use abrasive cleaners on these components.
When cleaning burner components, please ensure that they are fully dry before re-placing on the cooktop and before use.
Ensure that all components are placed back onto the cooktop correctly. Failure to do so can cause problems with the burners igniting and functioning correctly. See diagrams on the following page for how to put the burners back together.

MAINTENANCE

Clean burner tops and trivets at least once a week, or after any spillage. Check injectors are not blocked, and the electrode and probe are clean.
Gas inlet pipes should be checked periodically for leakages (see section on leak testing) a minimum of every 12 months.
Lubrication of gas valves – This can only be performed by an authorised person. It may be required if the gas tap become stiff and difficult to turn.
