DO'S AND DON'TS

the first time.
DO Allow the burners to heat before using for the first time, in order
to expel any smells before the introduction of food.
DO Clean the appliance regularly.
DO Remove spills as soon as they occur.
DO Check that controls are in the off position when finished.
DO NOT Allow children near the appliance when in use. Turn pan handles
away from the front so that they cannot be caught accidentally.

the hotplate.

LEAKS
If a smell of gas apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder IMMEDIATELY.
Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate electrical switches. Open
all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape. Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air;
any gas escaping will therefore collect at low level. The strong unpleasant smell of gas will
enable the general area of the leak to be detected. Check that the gas is not escaping from an
unlit appliance. Never check for leaks with a naked flame; leak investigation should be carried
out using a leak detector spray or soapy solution.
This appliance needs little maintenance other than cleaning. All parts should be cleaned using
warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or cleansing powders. When
cleaning the burner ring it is essential to ensure that the holes do not become blocked. The
control knobs are a push fit and can be removed for cleaning. They are interchangeable without
affecting the sense of operation.
ALL SERVICING MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AN APPROVED COMPETENT PERSON.
AFTER EACH SERVICE THE APPLIANCE MUST BE CHECKED FOR GAS SOUNDNESS.
