Warning and safety instructions
1.Read all the instructions before using your hob unit.
2.Use the unit only for its intended purpose.
3.Do not use the unit unless all parts are properly in place according to the installation and operating instructions.
4.Before servicing, disconnect the power supply by removing the plug or switching off the circuit breaker.
5.Never use the unit to warm or heat the room.
6.When using an electrical socket near the burners, make sure that the cable of the appliance does not come into contact with the burner of the unit.
7.Do not allow children to operate or play with or near the unit.
8.Keep all play items stored away from the unit to prevent injury to curious or playful children.
9.Please remember that, in use, burners and pot racks become hot; therefore ensure that children do not touch them.
10.Do not store items on the unit when not in use.
11.Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the unit.
12.Never leave the unit unattended when cooking with oil or fat. Very hot oil can cause fire.
13.Allow sufficient time for the unit to cool before touching or exposing surface areas to flammable materials.
14.If high settings are used, remain near the hob in case of spitting grease or pans boiling over, which may cause smoke.
15.Never use moist pot holders.
16.Use only certain containers suitable for range-top service. Unsuitable containers may break due to a sudden temperature change.
17.Position the handle of the container towards the centre of the range to minimize burns, spillage and ignition of flammable materials.
18.Before removing pots and pans, be sure to turn surface unit to “OFF”.
19.Always heat fat slowly, watching as it heats.
20.Use a deep fat thermometer to prevent overheating.
21.When frying foods, make sure that the food is as dry as possible to prevent moisture from causing hot fat to bubble over.
22.When shallow or deep-fat frying, do not overfill the pan with oil.
23.Do not use the hob if it is not connected to the electricity mains or in the event of a power cut. It is not safe under these conditions.
Save the instructions.
Leave these instructions with the consumer.

Important notes for the user
–Installation and maintenance should only be carried out by a suitably qualified person (licensed gas fitter in Canada).
–For safety reasons, this hob should only be fitted as a built-in appliance.
–Please remember that the hob becomes hot, not only around the burner, but also the control panel. Therefore ensure that small children do not touch the hob when it is being used.
–When cooking or boiling in large pots or pans, ensure that there is a minimum distance of
2˝ (50 mm) between the pot and a heatsensitive worktop.
After combustion, the hot gases flow outwards under the base of the pot and may consequently burn the edge of the worktop if it is too close.
–Make sure there is a minimum distance of 5/8˝ (15 mm) between the pot or pan and the control panel. Never place a pot on the control panel.
–When using a cooker hood over the gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered with a pot or frying pan. Otherwise, parts of the cooker hood could be damaged by the heat and/or flames.
–Note that potential hazards may exist with overhead cabinets.
–Not to be used for space heating. This instruction is based on safety considerations.
–When a gas cooking appliance is being used, heat and moisture are produced in the area where the appliance is situated. Make sure that the area is sufficiently ventilated; open natural ventilation openings or fit a mechanical ventilator (extractor). When the hob is used for longer periods, extra ventilation may be needed, such as an open window or a higher setting on the ventilator (extractor).
Advice
–The safe and efficient use of this appliance requires that it be regularly serviced by a qualified technician; however, the frequency of service will depend on usage. Once a year should suffice.
Before starting check
Remove all packaging materials and labels before using your hob.
Check:
–that the gas is on at the mains;
–that the plug is in the wall socket;
–that the pan supports are positioned correctly.

Gas burners
If a burner blows out, the electronic ignition automatically sparks all burners to relight the flame.
The flame is lit by means of an electrical ignition device. When the burner control is pressed and turned, a high voltage flows into the electrode by the burner. Sparks are created. A spark ignites the gas to give a flame.

How to use gas burners
Place the pot over the pot support fitted above the hob.
For small pots with a diameter of less then 7˝ (175 mm), the trivet must be used in combination with the 2-zone wok burner.
Make sure the trivet is securely fixed to the pot support.
Push the appropriate control knob, turn it counter-clockwise to the setting “HI”.
If the burner fails to ignite, check that:
–the burner cap is positioned correctly;
–the burner is clean and dry.
To switch off the gas supply to the burner, turn the control knob, in a clockwise direction, to the “OFF” position.
When cooking or boiling in large pots or pans, ensure that there is a minimum distance of
2˝ (50 mm) between the pot and a heat-sensitive worktop.
After combustion, the hot gases flow outwards under the base of the pot and may consequently burn the edge of the worktop if it is too close.
Make sure there is a minimum distance of 5/8˝ (15 mm) between the pot or pan and the control panel. Never place a pot on the control panel.

If the flames are not uniform, check to ensure that the burner cap is properly positioned on the ring.
If the flames are irregular and yellow, check to ensure that a pressure regulator has been installed. Do not use the appliance and inform the installer.

Cooking in comfort |
Pans and pots |
frying and pot-roasting deep-frying and blanching cooking large quantities stir-frying
are best done on the super high-speed wok
burner.
stewing and steaming
cooking standard portions
making a roux
are best done on the high-speed burner. The high-speed burner is ideal for preparing portions for about 4 people.
making sauces
keeping food hot
cooking through/simmering
are best done on the inner ring of the 2-zone burner.
At the “LO”position, this burner is large enough to cook food through.
The heat from the burner is transferred via the pan base. If the base is thick, the heat will take longer to reach the contents, but the base will have a more uniform temperature. Thin and light pans will cause food to burn more easily.
To use the gas as efficiently as possible, it is best to use a pan with a large diameter.
Wrong |
The tips of the flames are the hottest. If flames escape around the sides of the pan, a great deal of heat is lost.
Right |
Keeping the flame beneath the pan saves time and gas and is the safest way to cook.
Cook with the lid on the pan. This can save on energy by up to 50%.

Cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning, be certain the burners are
turned off and the grates are cool.
In the event of boiling over, clean immediately, to prevent the substance which has boiled over from igniting.
Wiping the hob down regularly immediately after use prevents dirt from burning on and resulting in stains which are difficult to remove.
For cleaning, use a mixture of water and detergent or all-purpose cleaner.
Stubborn stains on the appliance can be removed with a non-abrasive cream or a soft sponge.

The burners can be taken apart for cleaning and put back together as the diagram shows.
Do not submerge hot burner caps in cold water. The quick change in temperature may damage the enamel.
Important:
The burners must only be lit when they are correctly fitted together, otherwise the ignition device could be damaged.
Avoid using too much water when cleaning the burners. Do not use scouring powder or other aggressive cleaning agents.
Keep the appliance and vicinity clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
From time to time, the electrodes should be wiped with a well wrung-out cloth and dried with a clean cloth.
