• Make sure all the gas knobs are in the off position. Open the gas control valve on the cylinder
or the pressure regulator.
• Insert a lit match through the ignition hole furthest to the right, below the control panel, and
place it near the right-hand burner hole.
• Push and turn the knob located furthest to the right in the anti-clockwise direction, to full
power.
• Once the right-hand burner has ignited, light the other burners, moving from right to left.
• Make sure each burner has ignited before lighting the next burner.
• If the burner furthest to the right does not ignite, contact your local retailer.
• After they ignite, the burners must burn at full power for
3 to 5 minutes in order to pre-heat the stove. This process must be carried out before each time
you start to cook. The lid or hood must stay open during the pre-heating phase.
• After pre-heating, put all the burners on low heat for the best cooking results.
In the event of a grease fire/warnings:
• If it is possible to do so safely, turn off all the gas knobs.
• Close the gas cylinder.
• Keep everyone away from the stove and wait for the flames to die out.
• Do not close the stove hood or lid.
• Never spray water onto your stove. If you use an extinguisher, it must be a powder extinguisher.
• If the flames do not seem to decrease or seem to become more intense, call your local fire
brigade for assistance.
4. CARE AND MAINTENANCE: GAS STOVE
• Clean your stove regularly between uses and after it has been in storage for a long time. Check
that the stove and its components are cold enough before you clean them. Never leave your
stove exposed to bad weather and always protect it against humidity.
• Never spray water onto the stove when its surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts without protecting your hands.
To increase the service life of your stove and keep it in good condition, we strongly recommend
that you cover it if you leave it outdoors for long periods, especially during the winter. Sturdy
covers and other accessories specially for stoves are available from local retail outlets.
Even if your stove is under a protective cover, you still need to inspect it regularly, because
humidity and condensation may build up and damage it. It may be necessary to dry the stove
and the inside of its protective cover. It is possible that grease residue may start to rot on some
parts of the stove. It should be cleaned with very hot, soapy water.
If you notice any rusty parts not in contact with food, you need to apply rust protection and
repaint them with special heat-resistant paint for stoves.
Cooking surfaces
• Once the stove has cooled down, clean it with hot, soapy water. Use dishwashing liquid to
remove food debris. Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring powder, because they could cause
irreversible damage to your stove's top coat. Rinse and dry thoroughly. We recommend that you
do not clean the grates and plates in a dishwasher, because they are heavy.
• Remember that you must never use ice cubes, because they could lead to heat shock and cause
the plate enamel to become cracked.
• If rust forms on a cooking surface in contact with food, the surface must be replaced.
Care of the burners
• Your burner has been set to deliver the best possible flame. When the burner is on, you should
see a blue flame which may be yellow at the tip. If the flame seems more yellow than blue,
