Cooktop Use
Using the Cooktop Burners
1. Identify the knob of the burner you want to use.
2. Push the knob in and turn it counterclockwise to
LITE.
• Make sure you stop at LITE before turning the
knob to any flame setting.
• The halo will glow orange.
• You will start hearing a clicking sound. If there
is no clicking, turn the knob clockwise back to
OFF and see ‘Troubleshooting’ for advice.

3. When the burner has lit, turn the knob to any setting
between HI (high) and SIM (simmer).
• The clicking should stop as soon as the burner
has lit.
• If the burner doesn’t light, and/or the clicking
doesn’t stop, or the flames are not blue and well-
defined, turn the knob clockwise back to OFF
and see ‘Troubleshooting’ for advice.
4. When you have finished cooking, turn the knob
clockwise back to OFF.
• The knob will release and the burner and halo
will go out.
• If you are using LP gas, there may be a slight
‘extinction pop’ or flash at the flame spreader a
few seconds after the burner has been turned
off. This is normal for LP gas.
Guidelines for Using the Cooktop Burners
• All burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering (1,300 BTU/hr). Use the SIM
setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and
keeping cooked food hot.
• For cooking that requires especially intense heat (eg searing meat, wok-cooking, stir-frying), use the burners
listed below, as these have a higher maximum output (23,500 BTU/hr for atural gas) than the other burners
(18,500 BTU/hr for atural gas).
◦ RGV2-305 / RDV2-305 and RGV2-485GD / RDV2-485GD models: Center burner
◦ RGV2-488/RDV2-488 and RGV2-366/RDV2-366 MODELS: Front left burner or front right burner
◦ All other models: Front left burner
• ever leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spills that may ignite.
• ever allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides. This could discolor and damage the utensil
and you may get burned touching a hot handle.
• Keep handles out of the way. Turn handles so that they don’t extend over the edge of the cooktop or another

burner that is on.
• Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.
• Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or incompletely assembled burners may
produce dangerous flames. See ‘Replacing the burner parts’ in ‘Care and cleaning’.
• Keep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boilover, make sure you clean the affected burners before
using them again. Food residue may clog the ignitor and the notches of the flame spreader, stopping the burner
from functioning correctly. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
• Check that the burner flames are regular. They should be blue with no yellow tipping, and burn without fluttering
all around the burner cap. If not, see ‘Troubleshooting’ for advice.
• Use woks only with a wok ring. Wok rings can be purchased separately through your Fisher & Paykel dealer or
Customer Care. To use, place the wok ring over the grates, making sure the small protrusions on its bottom
straddle the grate fingers. The wok ring should be stable and unable to rotate.
Using the Grill
The grill has a reversible grate. It will change color with use as oils cook onto the surface. This is normal and doesn’t
affect grilling performance.

want the fat to run

• Hamburger patties
• Steak

For foods that need
more support and
don’t contain a lot
of fat, such as:

• Sausages.
• Vegetables
• Lean
chicken pieces.
To Use the Grill
1. Remove the cover and check that the grease drip-pan and the grill grate are properly in place and you have the
best side for your food. The grate should always be sloping towards the grease drip-pan, with its support bar
firmly resting in the groove of the rear ledge, as shown.
Never turn on or use the grill with the grill cover in place.

2. Turn the grill knob counterclockwise to the LITE/HI setting.
• The halo around the knob will glow orange.
• There may be a delay of a minute or so before the grill burner lights. This is normal.
3. Allow the empty grill to heat up for about 15 minutes.
4. Adjust the heat anywhere between HI (high) and LO (low) during grilling.
5. When you have finished using the grill, turn the grill knob clockwise back to OFF.
6. Clean the grill grate immediately after use. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
7. When the grill has cooled down, clean the grease drip-pan. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
Grill Cooking Guidelines
• ever leave the grill unattended during use. Grease drippings may cause short flare-ups or even
sustained flaming. If left unattended, these may cause fire.
• Make sure you have your ventilation hood set on maximum during grilling.
• Clean the grease drip-pan after every use. Accumulated grease can be a fire hazard.
• The longer you preheat the grill, the darker the grill marks will appear on food.
• Trim excess fat off meat to minimize flare-ups.
• Generally, start out on a high setting to sear or brown meat, then lower the setting to make sure that meat or
poultry is cooked through.
• When turning meat over, use tongs or a spatula as these will not puncture the meat and allow the juices to run
out.
Using the Griddle
The griddle will darken and ‘season’ with use, developing a natural non-stick coating.
When it is properly seasoned it can be used without any additional oil.
1. Remove the cover and check that the grease drip-pan is properly in place.

• ever turn on or use the griddle with the cover in place.
• Always keep the vents at the rear of the griddle frame clear of any object: airflow to the vents
must not be blocked.
2. If you haven’t used the griddle for a long time, re-season it. See section ‘First use – seasoning the griddle’ for
instructions.
3. Turn the griddle knob counterclockwise to the desired temperature.
• There may be a delay of a minute or so before the griddle comes on. This is normal.
• While the griddle is heating up, the halo around the knob will glow white.
• See the ‘Griddle cooking chart’ below for suggestions.
4. When the halo turns orange (after about 15 minutes), the griddle is ready to use.
The halo may alternate between white and orange during use as the griddle maintains the set
temperature.
5. When you have finished using the griddle, turn its knob clockwise back to OFF.
6. Clean the griddle and grease drip-pan after every use. The griddle should be cleaned very carefully while it is
still hot. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
Clean the grease drip-pan after every use. Accumulated grease can be a fire hazard.
