Operating principle
Always assemble the burner parts correctly and evenly
to avoid faults during ignition or during use. When
assembling the burner parts, make sure that the
burner head is placed on the base in such a way that
the heat sensor is positioned in the opening on the
burner head. The catching pin on the burner ring must
fit in the corresponding groove on the burner head.
The wok burner features three flame rings. Pressing
down the control knob activates the ignition. The
flame setting is infinitely variable between high and
low.

Operation
The markings on the control knob show the setting
between high and low heat. The flame setting is
infinitely variable between high and low heat.
Notes
‒ Only light a burner if all pan supports and burner
parts are properly assembled.
‒ Make sure the burners and ignition sparkers are
clean and dry.
‒ Fully press down the control knob and keep it
pressed, then turn it to the required position.
‒ After igniting, keep the control knob pressed for
around 2 to 4 seconds more. The thermal sensor
which controls the gas flow must be heated
before the knob can be released.
‒ If the flame should not ignite within 2 to 4
seconds, turn the control knob further to the left
to the low heat position and then back to the high
heat position after ignition. It is often faster to
ignite the burner in the low heat position because
the various gases have a differing ignition
response.
‒ Only use the recommended accessories. Do not
cover the stainless steel cooktop base (e.g. with
aluminium foil).
Switching off
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the
OFF position.
Thermoelectric flame monitoring
For your safety, this cooktop features thermoelectric
flame monitoring. This prevents gas escaping, if a
burner accidentally goes off during use (for example
from a draught).
Should a burner accidentally go off during use, turn
the control knob to the OFF position and wait at least
30 seconds before re-igniting the burner.
Switching on automatically
Your cooktop features ignition sparkers for automatic
ignition.
1 Place a suitable pot or pan on the corresponding
cooking position.
2 Fully press down the corresponding control knob
and turn it anticlockwise to the required position.
The burner lights automatically.
3 Keep the control knob pressed for a few seconds
after ignition.
The flame size can be set continuously between high
and low by slowly turning the control knob.
Switching on manually
During a power cut you can ignite the burners
manually.
1 Place a suitable pot or pan on the chosen burner. 2 Press the corresponding control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the required setting. Keep the
control knob pressed.
3 Use a gas lighter or a match to ignite the burner.
Keep the control knob pressed for a few seconds after ignition.

Tips for cooking and roasting
The values given in the settings table must be looked
upon as recommended values. The heat required
depends not only on the type and condition of the
food, but also the size and contents of the pot.
Due to the high performance of the cooktop, fat and
oil will heat up quickly. Never leave the cooktop
unattended, fat can ignite, food can burn.
Cooking in the wok
The following tips can help you save energy and avoid
damage to your cookware.
Suitable cooking vessels
Burner Pot base, recom-
mended diameter
Wok burner 240 - 320 mm 160 mm
Pots with a diameter of less than 160 mm or more
than 320 mm should not be used. When using large
pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum distance
of 50 mm between the cooking vessel and
combustible surroundings. The cooking vessel should
not touch the control panel.
Pot base, minimum diameter
Precautions for use
Use pots or pans which are
the right size for each
burner.
Do not use small pots or
pans on large burners. The
flame should not touch the
sides of the pot.
Do not use damaged pots
or pans, which do not sit
evenly on the cooktoop,
they may tip over.
Only use pots or pans with
a thick, flat base.
Do not cook without using
a lid and make sure the lid
is properly fitted. This
wastes energy.
We recommend using a round-bottom wok. You can
order a high-quality wok pan as a special accessory
(WP 400 001).
Only use oil that is suitable for frying at high
temperatures, for example peanut oil.
Fry the food quickly on a high heat while stirring
continuosly. Vegetables should stay crispy.
Use a heat resistant, flat ladle with a long handle to
stir the food and take it out of the wok pan.
10
Always centre the pot or
pan over the burner,
otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pots on
the burners near the
control knobs. These may
get damaged by the high
temperatures.
Place the pots or pans on
the pan support, never
directly on the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps
are correctly positioned
before using the appliance.
Pots or pans should be
placed on the cooktop
carefully.
Do not strike the cooktop
and do not place excessive
weight on it.
Do not heat a cooking
vessel (e.g. roaster, pan,
grill stone) on more than
one burner at the same
time. The resulting heat
accumulation will damage
the appliance.
Care and cleaning
In this chapter you will find tips on how to maintain
and clean your cooktop correctly.
ã Risk of burns!
The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow
the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
ã Risk of electric shock!
Do not use high pressure washers or steam cleaners
to clean the appliance.
Cleaning
Clean the appliance after every use once it has cooled
down. Remove spills immediately. Burnt in residues
may be difficult to remove.
The burner lid and the burner ring will change their
color during operation and become darker. This
change in color will not influence the use-value.
Cleaning the gas cooktop:
1 Take off the pan support with both hands.
Caution! Be careful not to scratch the stainless
steel base.
2 Remove the burner lid, burner ring and burner
head. Only clean the burner parts when cold!
3 Soak burnt-in remainders in a little water and
detergent. This loosens even the most stubborn
of soiling. Do not use any abrasive agents and
abrasive sponges.
4 Only use very little water to clean your cooktop.
Be careful that no water enters the burner base.
5 As the result of heat development, slight
discoloration can appear on the stainless steel
surface. Do not attempt to scrape away such
discoloration. This damages the surface.
Distribute stainless steel care agents uniformly
and thinly on the cooktop (not on the control
panel!). This will ensure an even surface and will
keep your cooktop in a good condition for a long
period of time.
6 Make sure the burner parts are dry before
assembly. Only operate the appliance with all
parts dry. Damp burner parts will cause
malfunctions when igniting or unstable flames.
7 When assembling the burner parts, make sure
that the burner ring and burner head are placed in
such a way that the catching pin fits in the
corresponding groove. Make sure all burner parts
are properly fitted and lie evenly flat.
