methylated spirits. For further information see page 4 or
- Check that you know how the flame failure device works (refer to page 3).

If the burner has not ignited within 15 seconds, turn off the knob and wait at least
1minute before attempted further ignition of the burner.
In the event of the burner flames being accidently extinguished, turn off the burner
control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least 1 minute.
Q. All the burners spark at once when I go to light one, is this OK?
A. Yes, they are designed to do this.
Q. My burner flames are yellow/slow to start, is something wrong?
A. Yes, there are a number of factors that could be causing this:
1.If you are using bottled gas this may indicate that you are getting near the end of the
bottle.
2.The gas pressure may not be at the correct level, check with your service person/installer.
3.Your cooktop may not be suited to the gas you are using, check with your service
person/installer.
Q. What size pots shall I use?
A. Generally larger pots are more energy efficient, try to match the bottom of your saucepans
with the cooking zone and see that it is stable. This will give you the most efficient
cooking. Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can deflect
heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface.
Q. Do I need special pans for a gas cooktop?
A. Regular pans are fine. We recommend flat bottom pans for efficient even heat. Food in an
uneven bottomed pan will take longer to cook. Heavy saucepans may bend the pan
supports or deflect flames.
Q. One of my burners has an uneven flame, what can I do?
A. Check the burner bits are assembled correctly.
