After installation of the shield the clearance around the top and sides of shield will allow adequate ventilation. Ensure the side and top clearances are not obstructed. Fig. 2 If an oven is positioned below the cooktop the barrier does not need to be fitted, but a space of 35 mm must be maintained between the underside of the cooktop and the top of the oven. A space of 5 mm must be maintained between the benchtop and the top front part of the oven. See Fig. 2.
Fig. 3. Connection Electrical Fig. 4 An electrical 10 amp socket needs to be within 1 m of the hotplate to allow electrical connection. The socket must remain accessible after installation of the appliance.

Switching on automatically If your cooktop can be switched on automatically (ignition sparkers): 1. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum power setting. While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer necessary to press down the control knob). 2. Turn the control knob to the required setting. If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off setting and repeat the steps above.
Outer flame on minimum, inner flame on full power. Inner flame on full power. Inner flame on minimum power. Warnings It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the burner is operating. When it is first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours; this does not pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction; they will disappear in time. A few seconds after switching off the burner, it will make a sound (thud).
Important: The use of a cooktop leads to the production of heat and moisture in the kitchen. For this reason make sure that the room is properly ventilated. Keep natural ventilation openings, such as windows, open or provide a mechanical ventilation device (e.g. a range hood or overhead exhaust fan). An orangy flame is normal and simply indicates the presence of salt in the atmosphere (from cooking). If the flame has yellow patches, this is not a fault (of any kind).
Cooking recommendation Very high, high Medium Low Auxiliary burner Casseroles, rice pudding and caramels. Defrosting and slow cooking: vegetables, fruits and frozen products. Melting: butter, chocolate and jelly. Semi-rapid burner Steaming potatoes, Reheating, keeping things hot and fresh vegetables, making tasty casseroles. stews, pasta. Wok burner Boiling, grilling, browning and Asian food (wok). Reheating and keeping things hot: cooked and pre-cooked dishes. Do not place anything, eg.
Precautions for use The following advice is intended to help you save energy and prevent pan damage: Use pans which are the right size for each burner. Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame should not touch the sides of the pan. Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the cooktop. Pans may tip over. Only use pans with a thick, flat base. Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is properly fitted to avoid wasting energy.
Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap and water. After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly. The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports.
Service DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE. Only authorized personnel from the Service Centre are qualified to work on the appliance. Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved. Before calling the Service Centre, bear in mind the following advice: Fault Possible cause Solution The general electrical system is malfunctioning. Defective fuse. Check the fuse in the main fuse box and change it if it is damaged.
