Switching on automatically

Always assemble the burner parts correctly and evenly to avoid faults during ignition or during use. The catching pins on the burner ring must fit in the corresponding holes on the burner head.

Burner assembly normal / high output burner

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.

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.

Switching off

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).

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.

Tips for cooking and roasting

The following tips can help you save energy and avoid damage to your cookware.

Suitable cooking vessels

Burner Pot base,

recommended diameter

Normal burner 140 - 220 mm 90 mm High output burner 180 - 220 mm 90 mm

Pots with a diameter of less than 90 mm or more than 220 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. Keep to a minimum distance of 50 mm between the cooking vessel and the control knob or the control panel. 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.

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.

Preferably use the rear cooking zones to prepare meals, that need longer to cook.

Preferably use the high output burners for brief cooking, deep fat frying and searing of large quantities.

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.

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.

Care and cleaning

In this chapter you will find tips on how to maintain and clean your cooktop correctly.

m Warning

Risk of burns! The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

Do not strike the cooktop and do not place excessive weight on it.

m Warning

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.

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 lids. 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 agent 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 lids are placed in such a way that the catching pins fit in the corresponding holes. Make sure all burner lids are properly fitted and lie evenly flat.
