INSTALLATION OF PRESTIGE HOBTOP 

While unpacking, make sure that all parts of the hobtop are available as per the picture shown above.  The Prestige hobtop can be used as a gas stove or as a hob depending on your preference. If you want to install the hobtop as hob, please follow the instructions carefully. Please ensure that the installation is carried out by a competent / qualified technician. The company is not responsible for damage / injury caused by faulty installation.  Please make sure that the hobtop is placed in a properly ventilated area.

• Cut the granite slab / counter top according to the size mentioned in the figure (1). For your convenience, we have provided the template for marking. Make use of the template.
• Please make sure that the granite slab / counter top is cut properly to ensure that the alignment of the hobtop is correct with respect to the counter top.
• Please make sure that the cut size is not big, as it may lead to more loads on the hobtop thus damaging the hobtop with time.
• Place the hobtop such that it sits firmly on the slab and the bottom cover goes inside the cut portion of the granite slab.

Connecting the nozzle to the gas pipe (gas hose)

1. The knobs on the hobtop should be in the “OFF” position at the time of fitting.
2. Push the rubber tube that is attached to the gas regulator (cylinder) on to the gas tube connector as far as it goes. Use only prescribed ISI marked LPG hose for connecting, as it is safe. Do not use a vinyl plastic tube or a tube with metallic cover, as this can be dangerous. The tube should not be twisted, looped or kinked, or subjected to external pressure of any kind.
3. Not more than 1.5 metres (4.5 ft.) Length of tube should be used to connect the hobtop. The tube must not be extended from one room to another and must not be passed through doors, windows, walls, partition, ceilings or floors.
4. After the tube is fixed, check for leakage near the gas connector area. This can be done by applying soap water solution near the gas connector area and the gas supply is opened. If the leakage is there, you will observe soap bubbles at the point of leakage.
5. In case, you have any difficulty in assembling the hobtop, please call the nearest Prestige Service Centre. (refer last page for your nearest Prestige Service Centre.)

Loading the battery cell to the hobtop 

(applicable for models :  PHTS - 02 AI, PHTS - 03L AI & PHTS - 04 AI) 

The Prestige Hobtop is fitted with battery operated multi spark auto ignition.  You will find the battery compartment under the bottom cover. 

• Open the battery compartment, place one single battery provided in such a way that the + in the battery should match the + in the battery compartment.
• Close the battery compartment.
• Press the knob once to make sure that the spark is seen from the spark plug.
• Now your Prestige Hobtop is ready to use.

HOW TO USE YOUR PRESTIGE HOBTOP

The Prestige hobtop is designed for use with Liquefied Petroleum gas that comes in the cylinder. 

To turn the gas table on (applicable for models :  PHTS - 02, PHTS - 03L  & PHTS- 04): 

• First open the gas regulator. Light a match stick or ignite a gas lighter over the operating burner, while simultaneously turning the operating knob towards the “ON” position (Fig. 1).

Note

1. Always make sure that the gas is lit when the knob is turned to ON / SIM position. Otherwise the gas will be leaking.
2. If the stove does not light, bring the knob to OFF position and repeat until the gas lights.

To simmer (lower the flame), further turn the gas control knob counter clockwise to a suitable position.

To turn the hobtop on (applicable for models :  PHTS - 02 AI, PHTS - 03L AI & PHTS - 04 AI): 

• First open the gas regulator knob
• Press the knob and turn the knob counter clockwise towards ON position. You will hear the sparking sound near the burners
• Keep the knob pressed till the burner is lit with the flame

Note

• Make sure that the spark plug and the area near spark plug is kept clean, otherwise it may not spark.
• When the spark becomes weak or no spark is seen after some days of usage, this means that the battery needs change. Please change the battery as per the instructions mentioned earlier.

To simmer (lower the flame), further turn the gas control knob counter clockwise to a suitable position.

To turn the hobtop off: 
Turn “OFF” the gas regulator. Then, turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” position. 
Note:
The glass top of the hobtop may become hot during the time of use. This is normal. Please ensure that you do not touch the top or the pan supports when it is in use to avoid burns. 
Hints: 

When using high flame or using larger burners, ensure that you use large sized vessels to cover the entire flame to avoid wastage of gas.

Notes

• Do not use Gas Tandoor cooker / Baati cooker or other similar products/utensils on the glass top gas stove as they work on the principle of closed cooking thereby not allowing the flame to go out and radiating the heat to the glass and thus creating abnormal temperature on glass, which may damage/shatter the glass top.
• Due to the principle of air mixing from the top, there will be slightly more noise and this is normal.
• There will be a small flickering flame from ignition point and it will continue during the operation also. It is normal and is as per the design.
• When using smaller vessels, reduce the flame intensity to the required level.
• After desired temperature is attained while cooking, it is sufficient to keep the flame intensity at a reduced level to maintain the temperature.
• The cast iron supports are heavy and may break if dropped. So, please handle them carefully.

THINGS YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT 

• Use the Hobtop for cooking only. Do not dry towels, clothes etc. over it.
• Always use liquefied petroleum (LP) gas that comes in a cylinder that can be attached to the hobtop.
• To connect the hobtop to the cylinder, use ISI marked, good quality tubing only. Do not use a vinyl plastic tube, as this is dangerous.
• Always check the rubber tube for any wear and tear to avoid gas leak and prevent danger. Avoid keeping inflammables near the hobtop.
• When in use, do not touch the pan supports of the hobtop to avoid burns as it will be hot.
• Never apply excessive pressure to the gas control knobs. Do not tamper with the knob.
• Clean the burners regularly so that they don’t get clogged. Do not use abrasive materials for cleaning.
• Turn both the gas control knobs and the regulator off, i.e, after cooking is over or, when going to bed or leaving the house.
• If you trace gas leakage, close the gas regulator of the cylinder, open up all windows and call your gas supply agent. Do not switch on any electric light / appliances or light matches/lighter etc.
• The cylinder should not be tilted horizontally when in use.
• Make sure the hobtop is in a position where no person needs to reach over the burner for things placed on the far side. This avoids the chance of getting burnt by the flame.
• Keep the gas hobtop out of reach of children.
• Ensure that no appliances working on electricity or any other fuel are installed within a distance of 1 metre from the LPG installation (hobtop, tubing, regulator and cylinder).
