Important Safety Instructions

Gas Appliance Safety

WARNING:

If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a

fire or explosion may result causing property damage,

)ersonal injury or death.

-- Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

-- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.

• Do not touch any electrical switch.

• Do not use any phone in your building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a

neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call

the fire department.

-- Installation and service must be performed by a

qualified installer, authorized service agency or
the gas supplier.

• The Operation section describes how to operate and
get the best performance out of each component.

• The Cleaning and Maintenance section describes how
to clean and maintain the appliance.

• The Service section includes troubleshooting tips and
your warranty.

Before using your appliance, be sure to read this manual.
Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions
located at the beginning of the manual.

Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off
valve is located.

• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows
and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the
appliance.

• If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper

job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not

perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and,
therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-
it-yourself' procedure. Some leaks can only be found
with the burner control in the ON position and this must
be done by a qualified service technician. See "WHAT

TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS" on page 1.

• During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can
be lit manually.

• To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block
appliance air vents.

• For proper lighting and performance of burners, keep
igniters clean and dry.

• IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California

Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to

such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel can generate some by-

products which are on the list. To minimize exposure to
these substances, always operate this unit according to
the instructions contained in this booklet and provide
good ventilation.

• Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where

kitchen fumes could reach them. Kitchen fumes such
as overheating margarines and cooking oils may be

harmful.

English 1

Fire Safety

• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the

cooktop.

• Set the burner control so that the flame does not
extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. For example, never use the
appliance for warming or heating the room. Never use
the appliance for storage.

• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot burner or grate. Do not allow
pans to boil dry.

• If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan,
be certain that flammable materials such as window

coverings do not blow over or near the burners or
elements. They could catch on fire.

• Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.

• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite.

• WARNING--TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE
TOP GREASE FIRE:

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high

settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or

when flambGing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware

appropriate for the size of the surface element.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air
vents do not push the flames so that they extend

beyond the edges of the pan.

c)

DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion will result.

d)

Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1 You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,

and you already know how to operate it.

2) The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.

3) The fire department is being called.

4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

5) Have an appropriate fire extinguisher
available, nearby, highly visible and easily

accessible near the oven.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.

Burn Prevention

° DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they
are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other

flammable materials contact surface units or areas

near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing

the cooktop.

• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.

• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.

CAUTION:

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do
not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

Child Safety

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie

sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do

not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be

burned.

• When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or
legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance. This can damage the
appliance and potentially cause severe injury.

• Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets

should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be

English 2

allowedtoplayinitsvicinity,whetherornotthe
applianceisinuse.

CAUTION:

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the

backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.

• Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship
of cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.

• Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are
suitable for cooktop use.

Proper Installation and Maintenance

Cleaning Safety

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes or sponges can cause burns from

steam.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the

cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner
ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

Cookware Safety

• Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the heating element or burner
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of different
size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating
element or burner will also improve efficiency.

• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do
not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires,
spills and burns.

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

This appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation

Instructions for details.
This appliance is intended for normal family household

use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See

"STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY"

on page 15. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer.

• Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables or nonfood products in or near this

appliance. It is specifically designed for use when
heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive
chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the
appliance and could result in injury.

• Do not operate this appliance if it is not working

properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an
authorized service provider.

Operation

About the Appliance

Use the cooktop for surface cooking applications such as
boiling, frying, simmering, steaming and sauteing.

Operation

WARNING:

The burning of gas cooking fuel can create
small amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene,

Formaldehyde and Soot. To minimize exposure
to these substances, the burners should be

adjusted by a certified installer or agency to
ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper
ventilation with an open window or use a
ventilation fan or hood when cooking with Gas.

Always operate the unit according to the

instructions in this manual.

The cooktop has one control knob for each burner. Push
down and turn to the desired heat setting.

Normal Operation (Electronic Ignition/
Reignition)

The cooktop uses electronic igniters to light the burners.
There is no pilot light. Each burner has its own igniter. If a
burner flame blows out during use, the burner will
automatically reignite.

_ CAUTION:

system is activated.

The ignitor should be clean and dry for proper operation.

Avoid getting water or food on the igniter.
If the igniter is wet or soiled, it may spark without

igniting the burner, or even spark continuously when a
flame is present.

Do not touch any of the burners when the
cooktop is in use. All ignitors spark when any
single burner is turned ON or the reignition

When a flame is present and a Low setting is used, the
igniter may occasionally spark. This is normal.

In the Event of a Power Failure

In the event of a power failure, the burners can be ignited

manually. If the cooktop is being used when a power failure
occurs, turn all the burner control knobs to the OFF

position. The burners can then be ignited manually by
holding a match at the ports and turning the control knob to
the HI position. Wait until the flame is burning all the way
around the burner before adjusting the flame to the desired
height.

WARNING:

The reignition feature will not work in the event
of a power failure.

Typical Flame Characteristics

The burner flame should be blue in color and stable with no
yellow tips, excessive noise or fluttering. It should burn

completely around the burner cap.

Yellow Flames:

Further adjustment is required.

Yellow Tips on Outer Cones:
Normal for LP Gas.

Soft Blue Flames:
Normal for Natural Gas.

If the flame is completely or
mostly yellow, verify that the
regulator is set for the correct fuel. After adjustment,

retest.

Some yellow streaking is normal during the initial start-
up. Allow unit to operate 4-5 minutes and re-evaluate
before making adjustments.

Figure 10: Checking Flame Characteristics

NOTE:
If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, turn the burner

off. Check to see that the cap is positioned correctly on the
burner base and the igniter is clean and dry. If a burner still
fails to ignite, see "Before Calling for Service" on page 14.

Cookware Characteristics

• Aluminum or copper bottomed pans conduct heat
evenly.

• Steel pans, if not combined with other metals, may
cook unevenly.

• Cast-iron cookware absorbs heat slowly and cooks
more evenly at low-to-medium settings.

• Flat, heavy bottom pans provide even heat and
stability.

• DO NOT USE pans that are thin, warped, dented or
ridged as they heat unevenly.

Choosing Cookware
Cookware Recommendations

Practice

Pan Bottom Diameter

• The flame should be the same size as the

bottom of the pan or smaller. Do not use small
pans with high flame settings as the flames
can lick up the sides of the pan.

• Oversize pans that span two burners are
placed front to back, not side to side.

• For best cooking results, large pans should
not extend over the sides of the grates.

Use Balanced Pans

• Balance is important for stability and even

cooking.

• Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate
without rocking or wobbling.

• Center pan over burner.

vigorously or too often can

eventually mar the enamel.
Do not clean in a self-clean oven.

Avoid excess water on the igniter.
A damp igniter will prevent burner
from lighting.

Remove any lint that may remain
after cleaning.

The appliance requires only regular cleaning for proper
operation. No other maintenance is required. See

Troubleshooting Chart

Burner(s) do not light / Ignitors do not
spark

• Make sure that the gas shut off valve is in the ON position and the gas
supply to the house is not shut off.

• Make sure the burner caps are properly positioned and the burner
ports are not clogged. Clear ports with a wire or straightened paper clip
if clogged.

• Make sure the igniters are clean and dry.

• Check the power supply. It should be properly grounded with the
correct polarity. Make sure the unit is plugged in and the circuit breaker
is not tripped.

Burner flame goes out unexpectedly
Ignitors spark even though knobs are in

the off position

Make sure that there is no draft in the room.
When the electrical power connection has been activated at the first

power up or reconnected after an outage, the igniters may spark once
or twice even though all burner knobs are in the off position.

STATEMENT OF LIMITED

PRODUCT WARRANTY

What this Warranty Covers & Who it
Applies to

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances
Bosch in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty
applies only to the Bosch appliance sold to you, the first
using purchaser, provided that the Product was purchased:

• For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and
has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household purposes.

During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized
service providers will repair your Product without charge to
you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your
Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in
materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair

the Product have been made without success, then Bosch
will replace your Product (upgraded models may be

available to you, in Bosch's sole discretion, for an
additional charge). All removed parts and components shall
become the property of Bosch at its sole option. All
replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of
the original part for purposes of this warranty and this
warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts.
Bosch's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to
repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Bosch-
authorized service provider during normal business hours.

For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly
recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product
yourself, or use an un-authorized service provider; Bosch
will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work
performed by a non-authorized service provider. If you

choose to have someone other than an authorized service
provider work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL

AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized
