Flavel Combination Stainless Steel Sink Unit And Hotplate
 
THE FLAVEL COMBINATION STAINLESS STEEL SINK UNIT AND HOTPLATE
 
HOW TO USE THIS APPLIANCE ECONOMICALLY
 
HOTPLATE

Both burners can be used for fast boiling or simmering, and are controlled by safety taps of the self-locking type.
To turn on gas, push in fan and turn in an anti-clockwise direction.
The FULL ON rate is obtained when the tap is turned through 90° and a stop indicates when this has been reached. For the LOW position push in fan and turn a further 45°. However, if desired, the output of the burners can be set to any position other than the fixed LOW rate, by setting the control knob between LOW rate and FULL ON, or between FULL ON and OFF.
It is wasteful to use a saucepan less than 4 inches in diameter, as the flames will spread beyond the base of the saucepan. Make sure that the base of every kettle, saucepan or frying-pan is smooth. Any roughness may damage the chromium plating of the pan support.

GRILL
Whilst the grill is heating up, place the empty grill pan under the lighted burner to protect the surface within the cabinet. When the grill is hot, place the loaded pan in the cooking position.
CLEANING

After use, whilst the hotplate is still just warm, wash with warm soapy water. If this is done regularly your hotplate will remain in good condition. Spillage should be wiped off as soon as possible.
Do not use soda, abrasive or caustic cleaning agents on any of the surfaces.

ADJUSTMENT
Your supplier will leave your unit correctly fitted and adjusted, and should be informed immediately if any subsequent service is required. No one else should be allowed to interfere with the unit.

INSTALLATION

GAS CONNECTION

This is situated on the left-hand side of the hotplate and the fitting is J" BSP male thread. It is recommended that unit be fixed using Copper Tubing.

LINE PRESSURE

The hotplate is designed to work at a line pressure of 11" w.g. for Butane and 14" w.g. Propane. It is important that the regulator should be set to this pressure when it is installed and checked occasionally afterwards. Excessive pressure must not be permitted.

HOTPLATE TAPS

The taps are self-locking in the OFF position. To operate push in fan and turn in an anci-clockwise direction. The FULL ON rate is obtained when the tap is turned through 90° and a stop indicates when this has been reached. For the LOW rate position, push in fan and turn a further 45° (see illustration below). However, if desired, the output of the burners can be set to any position other than the fixed LOW rate, by setting the control knob between LOW rate and FULL ON, or between FULL ON and OFF.

NOTE: Advise customer on the correct use of the hotplate and ensure they have been handed the copy of the User's Instruction.
AERATION

Both hotplate burners and the grill burner should show blue flames without white tips. The aeration can be adjusted by means of the control screw fitted on each burner.

DRAUGHT
The hotplate must be installed and operated according to the maker's instructions, and no alterations should be made to the injectors, burners or the line pressure, except by the supplier's representative. If any smell of unburned gas is observed, the supply should be immediately turned off at the cylinder, all windows opened and time allowed for the gas to disperse before an investigation is made.
