BEFORE LEAVING
The pipe connections should be checked for leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a
naked flame for detecting leaks. Test all burners on high and low flame for flame
stability. When satisfied with the appliance, please instruct the user on the correct
method of operation. If the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have
been made, refer to the authorised service provider in your area.
USER'S INSTRUCTIONS
Each burner is controlled individually and is monitored by a flame failure sensing
device. The respective knob positions are shown
OFF HIGH RATE LOW RATE
To light the burner, depress and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the full rate position,
apply a light to the burner or press the ignition button if fitted. On models with the flame
sensing device it is necessary to hold the knob depressed during ignition and for
approximately fifteen seconds after the burner has lit to allow the probe to reach
temperature. Should the flame go out when the knob is released, the procedure should
be repeated holding the knob depressed for slightly longer. If required the knob can be
turned further anti-clockwise to the simmer position. To turn the burner off, rotate the
knob fully clockwise until the dot on the knob lines up with the dot on the fascia. On
models 854F and H250F although the grill does heat up quickly, it is recommended that
a few minutes preheat be allowed. The grill pan should be left in position to protect the
base lining. The grill pan trivet can be reversed to give a choice of grilling height. The
grill door must be left open while the grill is in use.

SAFETY
It is important that ordinary safety precautions be observed in the use of this appliance.
1) When cooking keep children away from the vicinity. Turn pan handles inwards so
they cannot be caught accidentally.

5) If fitted in a touring caravan or motor van, all burners should be extinguished when
the vehicle in which the appliance is installed is moving. It is preferred that the cylinder
valve to the appliance be turned off.
LEAKS
If a smell of gas becomes 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.
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.
MAINTENANCE
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.
On units fitted with battery spark ignition, when the time taken for spark generation
becomes extended, the battery should be renewed with a suitable make of long life
battery.
