Safety and warnings  
WARNING!  
Hot Surface Hazard  
This appliance becomes hot during use.  
Do not touch the cooktop components, burners, trivets/pan supports or the  
stainless steel base when hot.  
Before cleaning, turn the burners off and make sure the whole cooktop is cool.  
Failure to do so could result in burns and scalds.  
WARNING!  
Explosion Hazard  
Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the cooktop.  
Do not spray aerosols near the cooktop during use.  
Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.  
Important safety precautions  
Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.  
Children, or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a  
responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can use  
the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.  
This appliance should be connected to a circuit that incorporates an isolating switch providing  
full disconnection from the electricity supply.  
Do not stand or place heavy objects on this appliance.  
Do not use an asbestos mat or decorative covers between the flame and the saucepan as this may  
cause serious damage to your cooktop.  
Do not place aluminium foil or plastic dishes on the cooktop burners.  
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can deflect heat onto your  
benchtop and damage the surface.  
Do not let large saucepans, frying pans or woks push any other pans aside. This could make them  
unstable or deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface.  
Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning this cooktop.  
Saucepan handles may be hot to touch. Ensure saucepan handles do not overhang other gas  
burners that are on. Keep handles out of reach of children.  
If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by an authorised person. Ensure  
that the electrical connection plug is accessible after installation.  
Where this gas cooktop is installed in marine craft or in a caravan, it shall not be used as a space  
heater.  
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in  
which it is installed. Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated. 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.

Electricity failure  
If there is an electricity failure, you can still use your cooktop. Light the burners by holding a  
match close to the side of the burner and turning the control knob to the High position. Wait  
until the flame is burning evenly before adjusting.  
Flame failure safety feature (some models only)  
Some cooktop models have a flame failure probe (see Fig. 6).  
This safety feature cuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is blown out.  
When lighting the burner on flame failure models, hold down the knob for approximately five  
seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the knob too soon will extinguish the flame.  
If the flames are accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner and do not try to light it again for  
at least one minute (to allow the gas to disperse).

Using your cooktop  
General guidelines  
To get the best out of your cooktop, follow these simple suggestions:  
Use saucepans with thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take  
longer to cook.  
Fig.10 Efficient and inefficient saucepan bottoms  
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can deflect heat onto your  
benchtop and damage the surface.  
Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the trivet/pan  
support or deflect the flame.  
When you need to boil, simmer or fry food, first set the temperature to the High position.  
Once the food is boiling, reduce the temperature to maintain a steady heat to cook your food  
thoroughly. Doing this will reduce the cooking time.  
For auxillary and semi-rapid burners, pans should be 12 cm (5 in.) or larger in diameter.  
For rapid burners, pans should be 18-26 cm (7-10 in.) in diameter.  
The fish burner is designed to be used with a ‘fish kettle’ or griddle approximately  
40 cm (16 in.) long.  
A fish kettle used on the fish burner is also useful for steaming long vegetables like corn cobs,  
Chinese broccoli, long beans, and asparagus.  
Using a wok  
Use your wok only on the wok burner. The trivet/pan support is shaped to take a traditional wok  
with a round base.  
You can also use a wok stand. Make sure the stand fits securely on the four fingers of the trivet/  
pan support, and is stable.  
Do not use a wok larger than 45 cm (18 in.)  
The wok burner is designed to be used with a wok but may be used with pans 18-26 cm  
(7-10 in.) in diameter, with care.

Using your cooktop  
Using a SimmerMat (if supplied)  
A SimmerMat helps control the temperature of the  
cooking surface for gentle cooking or the long slow  
simmering that is needed for some foods. Use at low  
heat only.  
To simmer  
First bring the food to the boil over high heat.  
Then turn the burner off and carefully place the  
SimmerMat over the burner on the trivet/pan  
support, with the points facing upward. Re-light the  
burner, turn to Low and place your saucepan on top  
of the SimmerMat.  
Fig.11 Only use the SimmerMat  
on the Auxilliary burner  
Using a griddle (if supplied)  
Cooking with a griddle  
A griddle is ideal for cooking a variety of foods. The  
surfaces of a cast-iron griddle will become more and  
more non-stick as cooking oils become baked in. This  
‘seasoning’ process can be started by coating both  
surfaces of the griddle with cooking oil and baking in  
the oven at 150 OC (300 OF) for about an hour.  
Heat the griddle for a few minutes before using.  
Brush the food, not the griddle, with oil, to reduce  
splatter and smoking.  
Fig.12 Only use the griddle on the Fish burner  
Cook steak and vegetables at high temperatures on the ribbed side of the griddle. Turn the steak  
only once, about halfway through the cooking time. To test, press the surface of the steak. The  
softer the meat is, the ‘rarer’ or less well done it will be.  
Griddle scones, pancakes, pikelets, polenta and eggs are best cooked slowly at medium to low  
temperatures on the flat side of the griddle.  
Important!  
Prolonged cooking with the griddle at high temperatures may damage the cooktop.  
Cleaning a cast-iron griddle  
Leave the griddle to cool before cleaning. Scrape away any food residue and wash in warm soapy  
water.  
Do not scour to the bare metal when cleaning the griddle or you will remove the non-stick  
coating that has built up during cooking.  
Dry the griddle thoroughly and wipe with a thin coating of cooking oil to prevent rust forming,  
especially when the griddle is new.

Care and cleaning  
General cleaning advice  
Clean the cooktop regularly – do not let stains become burnt on.  
Use soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth (use the mildest cleaner that will do the job). Do not  
use abrasive cleaners, steel soap pads or sharp objects on stainless steel.  
Soak stains under a soapy cloth.  
Clean brushed stainless steel in the direction of the grain.  
Rinse with clean water to ensure no cleaner residue is left (when heated this can stain the  
cooktop).  
Dry thoroughly to avoid leaving water marks. For extra shine on stainless steel, use a stainless  
steel polish.  
You can wash trivets/pan supports in the dishwasher.  
Clean the burner parts in hot soapy water. Make sure you keep the holes and slots clear.  
Thoroughly dry the burner parts. The flames will be irregular if the burner ring is not completely  
dry.  
Clean electrodes with a toothbrush and methylated spirits.  
Do not clean cooktop parts in a self-cleaning oven.  
Do not use a steam cleaner.  
After cleaning, replace the parts correctly on the cooktop, as shown in Fig. 13. When replacing  
the burner rings, turn the rings until the positioning teeth are placed correctly.  
For stubborn stains, see the ‘Cleaning chart.
