Cooktop burners
Quality of flames
On Natural Gas, the burners’ ames should be a blueish color
with, at most, a slightly yellowish fringe.
On Propane gas, the ames may be “softer”. The cooktop
burner ames may have a slightly yellowish tip.
If the ame burns with a long white tip, you should call for
service.
If the ame is distorted, check that the burner head is
correctly placed over the burner.
MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
Use the right size pan
This appliance is equipped with burners of dierent sizes.
Use utensils with at bottoms. DO NOT use unstable pans
and position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop.
Make sure the ames are under the pans. It is unsafe to let the
ames burn up the sides of the pan; the handle may get too
hot.
A proper relationship between the utensil and burner will
also improve eciency.
NEVER leave cooktop burners unattended at high
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on re.
Protective Liners – DO NOT use aluminum foil to
line cooktop bowls or oven bottoms. Foil liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or re and will
damage the enamel nish. NEVER allow aluminum
foil to contact the heating elements.
DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate
covers of any description. These may aect the safe
use of your hotplate burners and are potentially
hazardous to health.
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for range top
use without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
positioned over adjacent burners. If handles are
left over adjacent burners they will get hot and may
burn.
Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking
of the grates. This does not aect the durability of
the enamel and may be cleaned o with a metal
polish.
Ovens
Use care when opening the door.
Let hot air and steam escape before removing or
replacing food.
NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure
buildup may make the container burst and cause
injury.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Placement of oven racks
Always place oven racks in the desired location while
the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the
oven is hot, DO NOT let the potholder contact the
hot heating element in the oven.

General safety instructions
This appliance must be installed by a competent person in
accordance with the installation instructions. The installation
must comply with the relevant regulations and also the local
electricity supply company requirements.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Use for
any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability
claim.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production
of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
Make sure that 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 a window, or
more eective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
This appliance should not be installed with any
ventilation system that blows air downward toward
the gas cooking appliance. This type of ventilation
system may cause ignition and combustion
problems with the gas cooking appliance, resulting
in personal injury or unintended operation.
Ventilating systems that direct the air upwards can
be used.
The range should be serviced by a qualied service engineer
and only approved parts used. Have the installer show you
the location of the range circuit breaker. Mark it for easy
reference. Always allow the range to cool and then switch it
o at the circuit breaker before cleaning or carrying out any
maintenance work, unless specied otherwise in this guide.
All parts of the range become hot with use and will
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
