CHANGING THE TOP PLATES
The Patio Cooker is multifunctional and has
exchangeable top plates. For example, you
can opt for a grill or plancha.
Always wait for the unit to cool completely
before switching the plates. Lift the top plate
off the appliance and store it safely. To mount
a top plate, position it with the three position-
ing notches on the three chassis studs.
The top plates and the chassis are enamelled.
So be careful to avoid damaging the enamel.

USING THE PLANCHA
The plancha is a plate that can handle heat-
ing to very high temperatures (300-350 °C)
for contact preparation of all kinds of food.
You can put an additional drip pan under the
plancha plate when grilling food that releases
a lot of moisture or fat.

USING THE HOB
When using the Patio Cooker with the hob,
make sure that the cooking pot does not ex-
tend over the edge of the cooking device.
The maximum permitted cooking pot diam-
eter is 220 mm
IGNITING THE APPLIANCE
Before you turn on the device, check that all
conditions in the "SAFETY" section are sat-
isfied.
Make sure that the control knob is set to "0"
as shown in the figure below.
> Fig. 5
Turn on the gas supply.
NOTE – During the first installation, the gas
pipes and burners are full of air. To allow the
burners to ignite, the gas pipes must first fill
with gas. You might need to try this several
times before the burners will ignite successfully.
Turn the control button to the "max" position
(two flames). Press the control button inwards.
You should now hear the ignition spark. If you
do not hear any ignition spark, release the
button, turn it to "0", close the gas supply
and check the operation of the igniter.
> Fig. 6
Keep pressing the button while the igniter
sparks and the burner ignites.
Keep pressing and holding the control button
for at least 5 seconds after the burner ignites.
Then release the button. The burner will now
stay on. If it does not, repeat the above action.
During its first use, we recommend that you
let the Patio Cooker operate for 15 minutes
with an empty top plate. (A slight odour may
occur during an initial, short period.)
Each time you use the appliance, we advise
you to preheat the top plate for at least 10
minutes on a high flame.
RECOGNIZING ANY
ABNORMAL OPERATION
Each of the following factors are considered
abnormal operation and may require mainte-
nance:
• Burners produce flames with strong yellow
points.
• Burners do not ignite well.
• Burners will not stay alight.
• Gas taps are hard to rotate.
