Make sure flames are under the
pans. Using a lid will help the
contents boil more quickly.
Pans and kettles with concave bases
or down turned base rims should not
be used.

Be safe
You need clean fresh air - so does your cooker. Burner flames produce exhaust gases, heat and
moisture. Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or
install a powered cooker hood that vents outside. If you have several burners on or use the cooker
for a long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan. For more detail see the Installation
Instructions.
We recommend you read pages 20 & 21 if you have not used a gas cooker before.
We describe some basic guidelines on how to use a gas cooker safely.
Gas and Electricity on
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the cooker is wired in and switched on.
The cooker needs electricity.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop after a little use.

The drawing by each knob
indicates which burner that knob
controls. Push in and turn a
knob to the large flame symbol ( )
and press the igniter button or light
with a match.

Simmering aids, such as
asbestos or mesh mats, are
NOT recommended. They will
reduce burner performance and
could damage the pan supports.

Adjust the flame height to suit
by turning the knob. On this
cooker the low position is
beyond high, not between high and
off. The small flame marks the ‘low
position’. Turn the knob towards it
after the contents of a pan have
boiled.
6
Avoid using unstable and
misshapen pans that may tilt
easily and pans with a very
small base diameter e.g. milk pans,
single egg poachers. The minimum
pan diameter recommended is
120mm (about 4
3 /

").
The Wok burner is designed to
provide even heat over a large
area. It is ideal for large pans
and stir frying. For heating smaller
pans the smaller burners may be
more efficient.
