INTRODUCTION

As manufacturers and suppliers of cooking and heating products, we take every care to ensure, as far as is reasonably practical, that these products are so designed and constructed as to meet the general safety requirements ANSIZ21:1 and CSA:R58 when properly used and installed. To this end, our products are thoroughly tested and examined before despatch.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING WARRANTY

Any alteration that is not approved by AGA could invalidate the approval of the appliance and could affect your statutory rights. In the interests of safety and effective use, please read the following before using your new AGA appliance.

The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated, keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical extractor hood.

The level of ventilation may need to be increased during prolonged intensive use of the appliance.

Installation must be to local and national wiring regulations and carried out by a qualified engineer.

20

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND HINTS

1. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or other inflammable vapors and liquids near a range cooker.

2. Ensure and maintain the continual free passage of air to the burner housing. Do not stand obstacles against burner outer door and loose hair from dogs or cats must not be allowed to accumulate behind the outer burner door.

Child Safety

Children MUST be taught safe range practices to prevent possible injury. Listed below are some basic practices we recommend you read and follow for safe use of this appliance when children are present.

Children are more sensitive to heat than adults, therefore:-

1. Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the range cooker and discourage them from this area.

2. Children should not be allowed to mount on any part of the range cooker.

3. Children MUST be taught that the range cooker and its utensils can be hot.

4. Children should be taught that the range cooker is not a toy. They should be forbidden to play with the range cooker gas controls behind burner door or any other range cooker parts.

5. Let the heavy, hot utensils cool in a safe place but out of reach of small children.

CAUTION: AVOID STORING ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN IN ANY CABINETS

INSTALLED ABOVE THE RANGE TO PREVENT THE RANGE BEING USED TO OBTAIN

CABINET ACCESS AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.

Temperatures in cabinet storage spaces above the range may be unsafe for storage of some types of materials such as volatile liquids or aerosol sprays which can explode.

Ensure spare storage cabinets are capable of supporting the heavy weight of cooking utensils over the range.

The maximum depth of any cabinets installed above the top of the range must not exceed

330mm (13in).

WARNING NEVER: Use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the room.

In the event of prolonged power failure ensure hob controls are turned off.

Always wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.

Use only dry potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

IMPORTANT:-

Do not use water on grease fires - smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

21

Deep Fat Frying l l l l l

Use a deep pan large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.

Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.

Never leave fat or oil unattended during the heating or cooking period.

IMPORTANT: Oil is a fire risk, do not leave pans containing oil unattended.

In the event of a fire cover with a lid and turn OFF the gas and electricity supplies.

Do not attempt to extinguish the fire using water.

Smother the flames on the hob preferably with a fire blanket, rather than attempting to remove the pan to the outside or use dry chemical or foam type extinguisher.

Burns and injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up the burning pot to carry outside.

22

CONTROLS

DESN 513941 DESN 513940

Fig. 18 l

DESN 513939

The GAS CONTROL KNOBS are operated by rotating anti-clockwise.

In the first position (approximately 90º, large flame symbol) the gas supply to the burner is at its maximum. (Further anti-clockwise rotation reduces the gas supply to the burner). The lowest flame is achieved at full rotation (small flame symbol).

23

USING THE GAS HOB

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE GLASS IS CRACKED.

The hob has the following two burners.

front - Medium output 1.8 kW (6,150 Btu/h) burner for smaller pans and simmering

rear - High output burner for larger pans and fast boiling 3.1 kW (10,600 Btu/h)

TO USE THE HOTPLATE l l l l

To light a hotplate burner, push in the appropriate control knob, hold in and turn anticlockwise to the large flame symbol.

Press and hold the control knob in, until the burner lights. If the electricity is turned off, the burner can be lit with a match.

In the event of the burner flame being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

The control may be set towards a lower position, simply by turning the control knob towards the small flame symbol.

IMPORTANT: The cast iron pan support is heavy. Therefore, care must be taken when removing or refitting from or to the hob. It is important that it is lifted from the appliance and not dragged across the adjacent glass panel, which could result in damaging the glass.

l When replacing the pan support, always ensure it is correctly positioned onto the location pins on top of the burner heads (See Fig. 19).

DO NOT CLEAN PAN SUPPORTS IN A DISHWASHER, SEE SECTION ‘CLEANING AND

CARING FOR YOUR GAS HOB UNIT’.

Fig. 19

24

DESN 512067

l l

To get the best out of your hob l Ensure that the pan covers the heating area.

l Turn off the burners when cooking is complete.

l l

Do not use the hob as a resting area.

Always use the recommended cleaning materials and methods. See ‘Cleaning and Care’ section.

SOME SAFETY POINTS l l l

Simmering aids, such as asbestos or mesh mats are not recommended. They may impede burner performance, damage pan supports and waste fuel.

Commercially available foil spillage aids are unnecessary on this cooker.

Do not use unstable mis-shapen pans (e.g with convex bases) that tilt easily.

l l l l

Pans and kettles with concave bases should not be used.

Place all pans centrally over the burners. The flames must be on the base of the pan. do not allow the flames to go up the sides of the pan.

Always position pan handles away from the front of the cooker, out of reach of small children.

NEVER leave a chip pan unattended.

Plastic vessels and aluminium foil should never be placed on the hob surface.

Never use the surface of the appliance for storage.

NOTE: Aluminium pans may cause a metallic marking on the pan support. This will not affect the durability of the enamel. The appliance warranty does not cover the mis-use of the pan support.

l To prevent possible injury, do not step, lean or sit on the appliance doors.

l Hotplate burner flame size should be adjusted so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil, in the interests of safety.

25

COOKING GUIDE

Deep Fat Frying l Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.

l Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular, will cause frothing or spitting, if added too quickly.

l Never heat fat, or fry with a lid on the pan.

l Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

26

CLEANING & CARING FOR YOUR GAS HOB UNIT

l Always switch off at the mains before cleaning.

l Use as little water as practical when cleaning.

l Do not use ‘CAUSTIC CLEANING SOLUTIONS’.

l Regular cleaning will maintain the gas hob unit in good condition and correct working order.

l Wipe up any spills as they occur and transfer pans to the other burner to continue cooking.

l It is important that you do not use abrasive pads or scouring creams/powders on any exterior surface.

l After cleaning, ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before replacing.

l When re-fitting burner caps and burner heads make sure they are properly located.

THE CERAMIC GLASS l Ceramic glass is easy to clean if two important rules are followed: l Firstly, anything that has burnt onto the surface should be removed immediately with a razor blade scraper, which can be obtained from most hardware stores. If any plastic item, kitchen foil, sugar or any food containing sugar is accidentally allowed to melt on the glass surface, remove IMMEDIATELY with a scraper while still hot to avoid damaging the surface.

l Secondly, after cooking, the ceramic glass should be cleaned with an approved cleaning agent such as Hob Brite. A soft cloth is more suitable for cleaning than a sponge because a sponge absorbs the liquid components of the cleaning agent, leaving a high concentration of the rough ‘scouring particles’ on the surface. This could cause scratches. Basically as little cleaning agents as possible should be used, in the interest of the environment as well , a few drops are usually quite sufficient. (DO NOT USE HOB BRITE ON THE ENAMELLED OR

PAINTED SURFACES.

THE PAN SUPPORT l Clean with a damp cloth and hot soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with mild cream, paste or liquid cleaners, or by gently rubbing with a well-moistened, liberally soaped very fine steel wool pad, e.g. Brillo. Check that the cleaning agent is approved for use on vitreous enamel.

PLEASE NOTE: The pan support and burner cap assemblies MUST NOT be cleaned in a dishwasher, as this could cause damage or discolour the finish.

SERVICING

l In the event of requiring maintenance, call your distributor.

l Your hob must only be serviced by a qualified engineer from an authorised distributor.

l Do not alter or modify the hob.

l Only the spares specified by the manufacturer are to be fitted.

27
