Important
• A lthough each burner will support pans from
10 to 22cm, care should be taken not to
overload the appliance as performance may
be reduced.
• T he following pan sizes are the maximum:
- Auxiliary Burner:- Ø200mm Semi-Rapid
Burner:- 2x Ø200mm or 1x Ø220mm with
1x Ø180mm
Electric Hotplate:- Ø180mm
• W hen using small pans the flames should
not spread beyond the base of the pan as
this will reduce the efficiency of the burner.
• Avoid old or misshapen pans as these may
cause instability.
• The lid must be opened fully prior to using
the hotplate burners.
Using the Hotplate Gas Burners
1. E nsure gas cylinder is connected and
turned on and the shut off valve at the

2. F lame supervision: Each burner is
controlled individually and is monitored
by a thermocouple probe. In the event
of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and
do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at
least one minute.
3. T o light: Push in the control knob and turn
to full rate – see Fig.1. Hold a lighted match
or taper to the burner and push the control
knob in and hold. It is necessary to hold
the knob depressed after the burner has
ignited for approximately 10 - 15 seconds,
to allow the thermocouple probe to reach
temperature, before releasing the knob.
Should the flame go out when the knob is
released, the procedure should be repeated
holding the knob depressed for slightly
longer.
4. F or models fitted with Spark Ignition the
procedure is similar except that the burner
can be ignited by depressing the ignition
button, which is located on the fascia. If
the burner has not lit within 15 seconds
the control knob should be released and
the burner left for at least 1 minute before a
further attempt to ignite the burner.
5. For simmering, turn the knob further anti-
clockwise to the low rate position.
6. T o turn off: Turn the control knob until the
line on the control knob is aligned with the
dot on the control panel. Always make
sure the control knob is in the off position
when you have finished using the hotplate
burners.
