Congratulations on your purchase of the Cramer gas glass ceramic cooktop CC05. You have
chosen a cooking appliance that offers the convenience found in most modern-day
households.

A. Operating Instructions

1. Using the appliance

1.1 First-time use

Before you use the appliance for the first time, make sure:

- that the appliance has been installed by an authorized gas specialist with CORGI

(Council for Registered Gas Installers) Registration.

- that the correct type of gas has been connected! The glass ceramic cooktop is designed

for liquid gas, i.e. butane, propane or mixtures of these. Other types of gas will not
only impair the proper functioning of the appliance, but can also cause dangerous
situations. The supply pressure of your appliance can be found on the type plate.

- that the air inlet and outlet vents on the outside of the vehicle are not blocked! The

glass ceramic cooktop uses these vents for the intake of fresh air and for the outlet of
exhaust gas.

- that the exhaust line is never installed at a slope.

- that the supply voltage is between 11.5 – 12.5 V (DC)! The electric circuit must be

protected by a 10A safety fuse. Excessive voltage can damage the appliance.
Insufficient voltage can make it difficult to ignite the appliance.

- that the glass ceramic hot plate is clean! Impurities can damage or disfigure the glass

ceramic hot plate (from baking-on or scratching).

Once all items on this checklist have been carefully examined and confirmed, you can
operate the appliance as follows:

- Open valve on gas cylinder

- Open shut-off valve

- Ignite the appliance as follows:
a) Set knob to 0 position (front knob for right burner, rear knob for left burner).
b) Press knob until the starter cylinder begins to glow.
c) Important: The starter cylinders are visible as red dots beneath the glass

ceramic hot plate. If they are not visible, then there is a defect in the
electrical system. Discontinue the ignition process and have the electrical
system checked.

d) Keep knob pressed and turn to high position.
e) Press the knob for max. 15 seconds until the ignition process is complete and

the thermo-electric safety pilot is activated.

f) Release knob. The burner must now be burning.
g) If the burner is extinguished after releasing the knob, repeat the ignition

process (a. – f.) after waiting at least 10 seconds.

h) Set the burner to the desired setting. The temperature of the glass ceramic hot

plate is infinitely variable between the "low" and "high" settings.

Important: the "0" position has a safety lock, i.e. the control knob must be pushed in
before it can be turned.

Important: During initial startup and after replacing the gas cylinder, ignition may
take longer than 15 seconds due to air in the gas lines.

1.2 Operation

Important: the surfaces of the glass ceramic cooking zones become HOT during
operation, even though no open flame is visible. Therefore, DO NOT ALLOW
CHILDREN near the appliance!

The appliance has two burners. The left burner is larger, with a diameter of
200 mm and a capacity of 1.8 kW. This burner is controlled by the knob in the
back. The right burner has a diameter of 180 mm and a capacity of 1.5 kW.
This burner is controlled by the knob in the front. Behind each burner there is
a warming zone, which is heated by the exhaust gas of the burner in front of
it. This means that the surface temperature in these warming zones is lower
than over the burners. Nevertheless, the warming zones can still be used for
cooking. In other words, you can operate one burner with 2 pots; however, the
pot in the back will not receive as much heat as the one in the front. The
temperature of the glass ceramic hot plate is infinitely variable between the
"low" and "high" settings.

You can start the two burners in any order. Each control has a red LED
display, indicating that the burner is in operation (right LED = right burner,
left LED = left burner). The yellow LED display in the middle lights up when
the appliance is turned off. This display indicates that the cooking surface of
the glass ceramic panel is still hot. It is intended as a warning not to touch the
hot surface and goes out automatically approx. 20 minutes after the appliance
has been switched off.
Caution: If only one cooktop panel is switched off and the other one is still in
operation, the heat indicator does not light up, even though the cooking
surface still remains hot for some time.

1.3 Switching off the appliance

- Turn control knob clockwise to off position ("0"). The cooktop switches off.

- Close shut-off valve.

- Close valve on gas cylinder (in case of extended non-use).

Caution:
Do not disconnect the electric power supply immediately after switching off the
appliance.
The appliance must remain connected for at least 1 minute after closing the gas
valves so that it is supplied with sufficient cool air from fans requiring electricity.
After the electric power supply has been disconnected, the heat indicator is no longer
active.

2. Malfunctions, inspection and maintenance

2.1 In the event of any malfunction:

- switch off the appliance immediately

- shut off the gas supply (shut-off valve, gas cylinder valve)

- call a gas technician

- never attempt to eliminate a malfunction yourself

4

2.2 Inspection of the liquid gas system:

When are the inspections conducted?

- before the first-time operation

- at intervals of 2 years

What inspection regulations apply?

- EN 1949

- EN 1646-1

- EN 721

What else must be inspected?

- the installation location together with the appliance

- the gas seals of the system and appliance

- burning safety

- fresh air supply to the appliance and installation location

- safety and control devices (especially the pressure regulator)

- safety of exhaust system including roof and outer wall fans

Who conducts the inspections?

- authorized experts

Authorized experts are gas experts registered by CORGI (Council for Registered Gas
Installers), who can conduct the inspection properly based on their training,
knowledge and practical experience. They must be authorized to issue the inspection
sticker. The inspection sticker is attached in the immediate proximity of vehicle's rear
license plate. Experts are registered by CORGI; the registration number must be
recorded in the inspection certificate.

Who is responsible?

- the user is responsible for having the inspections conducted. Therefore, a maintenance

contract with a technician is recommended.

What else must be considered?

- the installation location must have ventilation openings that comply with the

requirements of EN 1646-1. The openings can be closeable (e.g. roof vent), but must
be open during operation of the appliance.

- The fans for exhaust gas and fresh air must be unobstructed. Therefore, make sure

that they are not covered by leaves, snow, ice, etc.

- The user is responsible for checking this regularly.

2.3 Maintenance, care and practical tips

- thermal and mechanical stability

The glass ceramic cooktop is thermal shockproof, i.e. it cannot be damaged by sudden
changes in temperature. The cooktop can withstand the weight of a heavy pot.
However, the cooktop panel can break due to concentrated impact, such as falling
objects.

- Cleaning and care

Before initial use, you should clean the glass ceramic cooktop thoroughly. Avoid
heating a dirty cooktop, since this can cause spilled food or liquids to burn on. For the
care and cleaning of the lukewarm or cold glass ceramic surface we recommend:
a) paper towels or a clean cloth
b) razor blade scraper (from Schott)
c) Sidol "Stahlglanz" or "Stahlfix"

5

d) "cera-fix" or "Collo profi"

The choice of what to use depends on how dirty the cooktop is:

a) Light spills that are not burned on can be wiped off with a damp cloth.
b) Larger, dried-on spills can be easily removed with the razor blade scraper.
c) Calcium and water deposits, grease and metallic discolorations can be cleaned

with a suitable product, e.g. Sidol "Stahlglanz" or "Stahlfix" or "cera-fix" or
"Collo profi".

Important: All cleaning products must be wiped off completely with a wet cloth.
Afterwards, the cooktop must be wiped dry! Remnants of cleaning products on
the glass ceramic cooktop can be caustic when the cooktop is heated.

3 What you must not do or should avoid:

- Never use the glass ceramic panel as a place for storing things.

- Never use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents, such as grill or oven sprays, spot and

rust remover, scouring powders, sponges with abrasive surfaces.

- Scratches can also be caused by dragging a pot across the cooktop on which there are

grains of sand from vegetables, etc.

- The bottoms of pots and pans can have sharp edges or burs, which can leave unsightly

marks or scratches on glass ceramic cooktop. This applies especially to cooking
utensils made of cast iron and enameled pots with electro-engraved bottoms.

- Make sure that the bottoms of pots are clean. Do not allow pots to cook empty.

- Important: Scratches on the glass ceramic cooktop cannot be removed.

- Do not allow the following to come into contact with the hot cooktop: plastics,

aluminum foil, sugar or high-sugar substances.

- All of these substances must be removed immediately while still hot using the razor

blade scraper.

Important: Stains from melted-on substances cannot be removed. However, they will
not impair the operation of the appliance.

Preventive measures against damage from sugar: Before cooking, clean the glass ceramic
cooktop using cera-fix or Collo profi. This produces a silicone film on the cooktop, which
not only protects the surface but also makes it smoother and repellant to water and dirt.
The silicone film cannot withstand high temperatures, however, and must be renewed at
regular intervals.

4 What cookware should you use?

You can use nearly all cookware designed for electric stoves; the important thing is the
bottom surface. In order to minimize cooking times and maximize the efficiency of the
glass ceramic cooktop, the pot or pan must lie flat on the cooktop when hot and match the
size of the cooking zone. Cookware made of aluminum is not suitable for use on the glass
ceramic cooktop. The diameter of the pot should always be larger than or equal to the
diameter of the cooking zone. The manufacturer of the glass ceramic cooktop (Schott)
grants a test mark for cookware tested by that company.
