numbers by the Liquefied Petroleum Gas
Safety Association of Southern Africa.
Gas Type: LPG (Note: This appliance may
have been supplied ex factory with setting

make the necessary changes and
adjustments before handing over the

a registered LPGas Practitioner/Installer.
All registered Gas fitters are provided
with an identity card, which also carries
their registration number. Make a note of
this. The LPGas Practitioner/Installer
should also provide you with a written

Before the installer hands over the
installed appliance ensure that you are
informed of the location of the isolation
or shut off valve in the gas supply line to
the appliance and how to operate it.
• Do not modify the appliance in any way
as this may make it unsafe.
• Note carefully the ventilation
requirements indicated in the specific
model instruction booklet. This
information is vital for the safety of the
occupants of the area in which the
appliance is installed and used.
• Never check for gas leaks with a naked
flame. Always use a soapy water
solution applied with a brush to the areas
where you suspect there may be a gas
leak. Do not use the appliance if you
suspect a gas leak.
• There are no preset service intervals for
this appliance. Refer to the section on
maintenance and cleaning in the
instruction booklet for details on how to
care for your SMEG appliance.
• After removing burner caps or burner
heads to clean them or the hob surface
around the burners, always take care
that the burner heads are properly
located in position and that the igniter
post and flame failure thermocouple are
not damaged in any way. It is important
that these devices fit correctly into the
location holes provided in the burner
heads. They will not function correctly if
not properly located. The burner caps
locate by means of the ridge on the
underside. Note that burners will not
work efficiently if the burner caps are not
properly located. There are drawings of
a typical burner assembly in your
instruction booklet.
