Operating the appliance

Important

1

Each time before switching on make
sure that the burner crown and
burner cover are lying straight on
the burner body.

If burner crown and burner cover
are lying crookedly, the gas flame
does not burn evenly and it can
cause damage to the burner cover.

1 Important

The apertures for the gas flames on the burner crown must not be
blocked by foods that have boiled over or by cleaning products.

Switching the appliance on and off

1. Turn the ring switch to the left to

maximum power .

2. Press the ring switch in firmly, until
the gas has ignited. After a success­ful ignition hold the ring switch de­pressed for about 5 seconds. If the
flame should go out, repeat the ig­nition process.

9

3. Set the desired power. The power
can be set progressively from maxi­mum power to minimum power

.

4. To end the cooking process, turn
back to the Off position.

3 In the event of a power cut or also when the spark plug is wet (because

of food boiling over or cleaning) the rings can also be ignited using a
gas lighter or a match.

Off Position •.
