, IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: All igniters spark when any single
,
burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the
burners when the cooktop is in use.
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 “doit-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
Warning, page 1.
WARNING: To prevent flare-ups all grates must
,
be properly positioned on the cooktop
whenever the cooktop is in use. Each of the feet
must be placed into the corresponding dimples
in the cooktop. Do not use a grate if the rubber
feet are missing or damaged.
Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light even thought the electronic ignitors
click.
WARNING: To prevent flare-ups do not use the
,
cooktop without all burner caps and all burner
grates properly positioned.
WARNING: Do not clean or touch any of the
,
burners when an extra low burner (if equipped)
is in use. When the extra low burner
automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner
will spark.
WARNING: Use this appliance only for its
,
intended use as described in this manual.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the
appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.
WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or
,
passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire
rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
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. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
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.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the

Indicator light
The indicator light next to the control knob lights up
when the burner is in operation and the flame is
burning. The indicator light blinks in case of a
malfunction.
Notes
‒Only ignite cooking zones once the pan supports
and all burner parts are correctly positioned.
‒Burners and electrodes must be clean and dry.
‒Only use the specified accessories. Do not line
stainless steel stovetop (e.g. with aluminum foil).
‒Don't cover the ventilation openings on the rear
side of the gas stovetop.
CAUTION: Heat damage to the range hood:
,
Turn on a range hood when the gas stovetop is
in operation. An appropriately high-output range
hood must be selected for using multiple
cooking zones. Provide for sufficient supply air.
Turning on
Your gas stovetop has an automatic quick start
feature.
1Place an suitable pot or pan on the desired
burner.
2Press down the appropriate control knob and turn
it left to the desired position. The burner ignites
automatically.
Electronic flame monitoring and
automatic re-ignition
For your safety, the stove is equipped with an
electronic flame monitoring system. If the flame goes
out during operation (e.g. through a draft of air), the
appliance automatically re-ignites the burner.
Should the re-ignition prove unsuccessful (e.g. grime
on burner due to spillage), the appliance turns off all
burners and the indicator lights of the activated
cooking zones flash.
Turn all control knobs to 0. The blinking indicator
lights go out except for the indicator of the burner
concerned. It continues blinking for a few seconds.
Wait until the appliance has cooled down sufficiently
and then check if all parts of the burner are correctly
in place. Check whether the burner or electrode is
dirty (see malfunction table).
Note: In the event of a burner malfunction, you can
continue to use the other burners, but only once all
control knobs are turned to 0.
Please bear in mind if you turn the cold appliance
on to maximum:
Depending on the gas type and pressure used, the
electrode may ignite, even though there is already a
flame, and then turn off. Turn all control knobs to 0.
Then turn the control knob of the desired cooking
zone to a lower position (not maximum) and wait 30 60 seconds until the burner has heated up. Now you
can use your appliance as usual.
By slowly turning the control knob, the flame size can
be steplessly adjusted between full and low flame.
Notes
‒If you have large pots on the cooking zones, you
should ignite at low flame.
‒With each activation of the stovetop, the
electronics perform a self-test. All electrodes
ignite and the desired burner ignites after a few
seconds. If you turn on more burners, only the
respective electrode ignites.
‒When turning on the stovetop, the electronics
open the gas supply, which causes a small noise.
This is normal.
‒The appliance does not work in the event of a
power failure.

Minimum diameter
of pot base
The values in the settings table serve as mere
guidelines, since more or less heat may be required,
depending on the type and condition of the foods, as
well as the size and fullness of the pot.
The high output causes grease and oil to heat up
quickly. Don't leave food unattended while frying;
grease can catch fire and burn the food.
The rear cooking zones should be used to prepare
foods requiring longer cooking times.
For parboiling, frying and deep-frying large portions,
you should use the high-output burners or wok
burners.
Wok tips
We recommend woks with a concave bottom. You can
order a high-quality wok as a special accessory (WP
400 001)
For cooking, only use cooking oil that can be heated
up, such as peanut oil, with the wok.
Cook the ingredients at high heat while stirring
constantly, for not too long. The vegetables should
still be firm to the bite.
Information for use
Use cooking vessels of
appropriate size for the
particular burner.
Don't use small cooking
vessels on large burners.
The flame shouldn't come
in contact with the sides of
the cooking vessel.
Don't use any deformed
cooking vessels that don't
stand solidly on the
stovetop. The vessels could
tip over.
Only use cooking vessels
with flat and thick bottoms.
Don't cook without a lid or
if the lid is not on all the
way. The majority of the
heat is lost.
11
Place the cooking vessel in
the center of the burner,
otherwise it may tip over.
Don't place large pots on
the burners near the stove
controls. They could
overheat and become
damaged.
Place the pots on the pan
supports, never directly
onto the burners.
Prior to use, ensure that
the pan supports and lids
of the gas burners are
positioned correctly.
Handle vessels carefully on
the stovetop.
Don't bang the stovetop
and don't place any heavy
weights on it.

grime. Don't use abrasive cleaning agents or
sponges.
4Only use a little water to clean the stovetop. No
water must penetrate into the burner parts below.
5Slight discolorations may occur on the stainless
steel surface due to heat generation. Don't try to
scrub away these discolorations, as it may
damage the surface. Distribute stainless steel
care product evenly thin along the stovetop (not
on the control panel!). This provides for an even
surface and your stovetop remains attractivelooking for a long time.
6Dry off the burner parts. Only turn on the
appliance once all parts are dry. Damp burner
parts could cause problems with ignition or an
unstable flame.
7When assembling the burner ring and head, place
them on the burner such that the snap-in pins
engage into the appropriate slots. Make sure the
burner parts are correctly positioned; they must
lie straightly.
8Important: First put the center pan support back
in place (make sure it is correctly centered over
the burner) and then the lateral one. The roundedoff corners of the lateral pan supports must face
the side (see figure).
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock:
,
Don't use a high-pressure cleaner or steam
cleaner.
Cleaning appliance
Clean the appliance after each use, once it has
cooled down. Remove spilled fluids immediately; don't
let any food rests burn on.
Keep the ventilation gap on the rear side of the
appliance clean. The ventilation gap must not be
covered up.
The bright metallic color of the burners (burner lid,
burner ring and burner head) turns darker after long
