Fisher & Paykel CG602Q Cooktop User Manual


 
Inspiration
Make a delicious fruit compote by simmering rhubarb in sugar and water until tender. When
cool, add fresh strawberries. Serve chilled.
Flame failure safety feature
Your cooktop has a flame failure safety device fitted.
A metal probe behind the burner generates electricity when a flame is present.
After 5 seconds the metal probe gets hot enough to hold a valve open and maintain the gas
supply.
If the flame is blown out then the gas to the burner is cut off.
To operate the flame failure you need to hold the burner knob down for 5 seconds after the
burner has ignited.
Letting go of the burner knob too soon will extinguish the flame.
Your cooktop has two probes at the back of the burners, one will be the spark electrode and the
other is the flame failure probe.
Using Saucepans
Generally, larger saucepans are more efficient. It is a good idea to match the size of your
pan with the cooking zone of the burner and always make sure pans are stable. Do not let
large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can defect heat onto your benchtop
and damage the surface.
Hints and tips
To get the best out of your cooktop follow these simple suggestions.
Do not use an asbestos mat between the flame and the saucepan as this may cause serious
damage to your cooktop.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the burners.
Saucepans should have thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take
longer to cook. Heavy saucepans may bend the pan support or deflect the flame.
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.
