IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
en-us
▶
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
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 heating elements. They could catch on fire.
Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly.
▶
Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE
FIRE
▶
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Set-
tings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium set-
tings.
▶
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Ju-
bilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
▶
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
▶
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system.
▶
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation sys-
tem during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units.
▶
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable mate-
rials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, the handle of a cookware should be posi-
tioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface units.
Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments,
such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves, should
never be worn while using the appliance.
▶
Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose.
▶
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning.
Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different size.
▶
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit heating element.
▶
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. Proper relationship of
cookware to heating element or burner will also im-
prove efficiency.
CAUTION
The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term
cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
WARNING
To avoid risk of fire do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires.

to be correct. Clean the burners regularly.
6.2 Manually igniting a burner
In the event of a power failure, you can ignite the burners
manually.
1. Hold down the control knob for the selected burner and
turn it counterclockwise to the highest power level.
2. Hold a lit lighter or a match against the burner.
6.3 Flame failure safety system
Your cooktop is equipped with a safety system (thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners accidentally
go out during operation, for example through a draft of air.
In order to light the burner, the system that allows the passage of gas must be activated. Carry out the following
steps.
WARNING
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, turn the
control knob of the burner to the 0 position and do not try
to relight it for at least 1minute.
1. Light the burner as usual without releasing the control
knob.
2. Hold the control knob down firmly for 4seconds after
lighting the flame.
6.4 Turning off a burner
▶
Turn the control knob clockwise to 0.
6.5 Normal behavior during operation
The following behavior during operation is normal.
¡ A soft whistling noise while the burner is operating.
¡ Release of odors during first use. These do not pose a
risk and will disappear in time.
¡ An orange-colored flame is normal. It is caused by im-
purities, such as the presence of dust in the atmosphere
or spilled liquids.
Recommended cooking settings
7 Recommended cooking settings
Recommended cooking settings
The charts list the optimal heat settings and cooking times
for various types of food. The information given applies
when cooking four portions.
The cooking times and heat settings may vary depending
on the type of food, its weight and quality, on the type of
gas used, and on the material from which the cookware is
made. To prepare these dishes, stainless steel cookware
was mainly used.
Always use cookware that is the right size and place it in
the center of the burner.Refer to the overview of suitable
cookware.
Tips
¡ Recommendations for cooking:
– Place all the ingredients into the cookware at the
same time when cooking soups, creams, lentil stews
or chickpeas.
– Preheat the oil when frying. Once you have started
frying the food, maintain the temperature by adjusting
the power if necessary. Maintain the temperature of
the oil between different batches and turn the food
frequently.
¡ Recommendations to reduce the cooking time:
– Use a pressure cooker to cook creamy soups and
legumes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions of
the pressure cooker. Add all the ingredients at the
same time at the start.
– Bring the water to a boil before adding pasta, rice or
potatoes and then adjust the power level to continue
boiling.
– Use a lid to cook rice and potatoes.
