Keep children below the age of 8 years old at a safe distance from the appliance and power cable.

Close the safety valve on the gas supply line if the cooker will not be used for a prolonged period.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS!

Escaping gas may cause an explosion.

If you smell gas or notice any faults in the gas installation:

Immediately shut off the gas supply or close
the gas cylinder valve.
Immediately extinguish all naked flames and
cigarettes.
Do not use any light or appliance switches
and do not pull any plugs out of sockets. Do not use any telephones or mobile phones within the building.
Open windows and ventilate the room. Call the aftersales service or the gas
supplier.

Risk of asphyxiation!

The use of a gas cooker leads to a build-up of heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room where the appliance is installed. Ensure that the installation room is well ventilated. The natural ventilation openings must be kept open or a mechanical ventilation device must be provided (e.g. an extractor hood). Intensive and persistent use of the appliance may mean that it is necessary to have additional ventilation (e.g. opening a window), or more effective ventilation (e.g. operating the existing mechanical ventilation device at a higher setting).

Risk of fire!

Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never
leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.
Risk of fire!
The hotplates become very hot. Never place
combustible items on the hob. Never place objects on the hob.
Risk of fire!
The appliance becomes very hot and
flammable materials could catch fire. Never store or use flammable objects (e.g. spray cans, cleaning agents) under the appliance or in its immediate vicinity. Never place flammable items on or in the appliance.
Risk of fire!
4
When gas hotplates are in operation without
any cookware placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. The appliance and the extractor hood above it may become damaged or be set on fire. Grease residue in the filter of the extractor hood may ignite. Only operate the gas burners with cookware on them.

Risk of burns!

The appliance becomes hot during
operation. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.
Risk of burns!
The hotplates and surrounding area
(particularly the hob surround, if fitted) become very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of burns!
The accessible parts become very hot when
in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance.
Risk of burns!
When the appliance cover is closed, heat
will accumulate. Only close the appliance cover when the appliance has cooled down. Never switch the appliance on with the appliance cover closed. Do not rest food on the appliance cover or use it to keep food warm.
Risk of burns!
Empty cookware becomes extremely hot
when set on a gas hotplate that is in operation. Never heat up empty cookware.
Risk of burns!
If the liquefied gas bottle is not upright,
liquefied propane/butane can enter the appliance. Intense darting flames may therefore escape from the burners. Components may become damaged and start to leak over time so that gas escapes uncontrollably. Both can cause burns. Always use liquefied gas bottles in an upright position.

Risk of injury!

Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs
may only be carried out, and damaged power and gas lines replaced, by an after­sales engineer trained by us. If the appliance is faulty, unplug the mains plug or switch off the fuse in the fuse box. Shut off the gas supply. Contact the after-sales service.

Operation

Electronic flame monitoring and automatic re-ignition

The markings show the position of the corresponding burner and the setting between high and low heat. The flame setting is infinitely variable between high and low heat.

Notes

Only light a burner if the pan support and burner
parts are properly assembled.
Make sure the burners and electrodes are clean
and dry.
Only use the recommended accessories. Do not
cover the stainless steel cooktop base (e.g. with aluminium foil).
Do not cover the air inlet underneath the pan
support.
Caution!
Heat damage to the extractor hood: Always switch on the extractor hood while the gas cooktop is in use. When using several cooking positions select a higher fan level on the extractor hood. Make sure there is a sufficient ventilation of the room.
For your safety, the hob is fitted with electronic flame monitoring. If the flame goes out while the hob is in use (e.g. due to a draught), the appliance automatically re­ignites the burner.
If re-ignition is unsuccessful (e.g. dirt on the burner caused by liquid or food boiling over), the appliance switches off the gas supply after 10 seconds and an audible signal sounds.
Turn the control knob to 0. Wait until the appliance is cool enough and then check whether all the burner parts are in the correct position. Check whether the burner and/or the electrode is dirty (see "Troubleshooting").
Please note the following if you ignite the appliance from cold at full flame:
Depending on the type of gas and gas pressure, it is possible that the electrode will ignite and then switch off even though there is a flame. Turn the control knob to 0 and then to the small flame position. Wait 30-60 seconds until the burner has heated up. You can now use your appliance as normal.

Switching on

Your cooktop features automatic fast ignition.
1 Place a suitable pot or pan on the corresponding
cooking position.
2 Push in the corresponding control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the required position. The burner lights automatically.
The flame size can be set continuously between high and low by slowly turning the control knob.
Notes
When using large pots or pans you should ignite
the burner in the low position.
When being switched on, a short sound may be
heard when the electronics of the gas hob open the gas supply valve. This is normal.
Every time the gas hob is switched on, the
electronics run an auto test. The electrode fires and the burner ignites after a few seconds.
The cooktop cannot be used during a power failure.

Switching off

Fully turn the control knob to the OFF position. The electronics of the appliance switches the gas supply off.
m Risk of burns!
When the appliance cover is closed, heat will accumulate. Only close the appliance cover when the appliance has cooled down. Never switch the appliance on with the appliance cover closed. Do not rest food on the appliance cover or use it to keep food warm.

Safety shut-off

For your protection, the appliance has a safety shut-off feature. The appliance switches off after six hours if it is not operated during this time.
Even after a power outage, the appliance stays switched off. A prolonged audible signal is sounded.
Turn all control knobs to 0. You can then operate the appliance in the way to which you are accustomed.

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.
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.

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.
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.

m Risk of electric shock!

Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.

m Risk of burns!
