YOUR GAS HOB

Introduction

You have chosen to cook with gas. You have therefore also chosen a

hob which offers optimum ease of use. The gas hob is easy to operate,

heats up quickly and is reliable. Furthermore, the gas flame can be

adjusted very accurately. Professional chefs don’t cook with gas for

nothing!

Thanks to the spacious positioning of the wok burner, a wok can be

used and leave minimal two burners free for the preparation of other

dishes.

By reading through these instructions you can find out quickly and

simply about the possibilities offered by your appliance. Advice on

safety and the maintenance of your appliance is included, as well as

environmental tips and ways of saving energy.

Do not throw away the instructions for use and the installation

instructions. Another user who takes on the appliance will find this

information useful.

SAFETY

What you should pay attention to

• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use.

• Keep natural ventilation openings open.

• When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is necessary.

Open a window for instance or install a mechanical fan.

• Use the hob only for preparing dishes. The appliance is not suitable for

space heating.

• Never flambé under an extractor hood.

• The high flames can cause a fire, even if the fan is switched off.

• The burner parts are hot during and immediately after use. Do not

touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat-resistant materials.

• Never immerse hot burner parts in cold water. The rapid cooling can

damage the enamel.

• The distance from the pan to a knob or non-heat-resistant wall

should always be greater than two centimetres. In the case of smaller

distances the high temperature may cause the knobs or wall to

discolour and/or distort.

• Always use the pan supports and suitable cooking utensils.

• Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly on

the burner head can result in dangerous situations.

• Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils.

They can become burnt into the burners and pan supports.

• Installing burner parts and pan supports.

• The hob can only function effectively if the burner parts have

been assembled using the guide ridges.

• Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other

and flat on the drip tray. Only then can the pans be

positioned stably.

Safe use

• The device will become hot during use and will remain so for some

time after it has been switched off. So please be sure not to touch

the device while it is hot.

• Always wear oven gloves or use oven cloths when operating the

device. Keep oven gloves or oven cloths away from the flame.

• Do not warm closed tins and such like on the hob. There will be a

buildup of pressure that will cause tins to explode. You might get

injured or scalded.

• The device is not to be positioned nor used outdoors.

EN 7

SAFETY

Children

• Do not use the device as a worktop. The device may be switched

on by accident or still be hot, which means objects could melt,

become hot or catch fire.

• Never cover the device with a cloth or something similar. If the

device is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.

• Be extra careful when using oils or fats. Overheated oil or fats may

catch fire. Risk of fire!

• Under no circumstances should you use water to try and extinguish

the flames if the oil or fat were to catch fire! Extinguish the flames

with a suitable lid, a damp cloth or some such object.

• Do not use or store flammable materials in the storage drawer

underneath the appliance.

• Do not modify this appliance.

• Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in

operation.

• Where the appliance is installed in marine craft or caravans it shall

not be used as a space heater.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or

lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

• Never let children play with this device. Children are not to be

allowed near the device unsupervised.

• The device will become hot during use and will remain hot for some

time after it has been switched off.

• Do not keep objects in cupboards above or behind the device that

children might find interesting.

CONTROLS

Igniting and adjusting

Each burner can be adjusted continuously between the high and low

positions.

1. 0-setting

2. Burner indication

3. Low setting

4. High setting

Flame failure device

Your gas hob has a flame failure device. This ensures that the gas

supply is shut off if the flame goes out during cooking.

Operating the thermal flame failure device

Press the control knob and turn it anti-clockwise. Hold the control

knob pressed (in the high setting) for approximately 3 seconds after the

burner has ignited.

The flame failure device switches on.

EN 9

COMFORTABLE COOKING

Optimal use of the hob

Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan. If flames play

around the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In addition, the handles can get

too hot. Do not use pans with a base diameter less than 12 cm. Smaller

pans will not be stable.

Wrong

Right

• When frying, stir-frying, heating through large quantities and

deepfrying it is best to use the rapid or wok burner.

• Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the

simmer burner. On its high setting this burner is large enough for

cooking food right through.

• Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.

• Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand

stably and pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively

to the food.

Wokburner (type Hg1664s, 1774s and Hg1984s/a)

With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature.

For this purpose it is important:

• to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking;

• to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut oil

when stir-frying. A small quantity is enough. Butter and margarine

on the other hand will burn because of the high heat;

• to place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan first, so

that at the end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked

al dente at the same time.

Use of the auxiliary support

Hg1774s/Hg1984s/Hg1984a

• The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner or available as

an accessory provides additional stability in case of a wok with a

round base.

• The auxiliary support for the wok has special recesses so it can be

positioned neatly on top of the standard wok pan support.

EN 10

Hg1664s

• The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner or available as an

• accessory provides additional stability in case of a wok with a flat

base.
