Environmental protection
Environmental protection
The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips
and provide information on disposing of your appliance.
Saving energy
▯ Choose a burner of roughly the same size as your
pan. Place the cookware in the middle.
▯ Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of
energy.
▯ Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy.
Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan
without having to lift the lid.
▯ Cook with only a little water. This will save energy
and preserve the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯ Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. This will
save energy.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance
with European Directive 2012/19/EU
concerning used electrical and electronic
appliances (waste electrical and electronic
equipment - WEEE). The guideline
determines the framework for the return and
recycling of used appliances as applicable

Notes
– Only use the accessories specified. Do not line the
stainless steel recess (e.g. with aluminium foil).
– The burner and ignition plug must be clean and dry.
– Only light the hotplates if the pan supports and all
burner parts are correctly fitted.
– When one burner is ignited, an ignition spark will
also be generated at all the other burners.
– Do not touch the ignition plug while the gas
appliance is being lit.
– It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the
ignition plugs are dirty, this may cause ignition
problems. Clean the ignition plugs regularly with a
small, non-metallic brush. Take care to prevent the
ignition plugs from suffering any heavy knocks.
– When you cook using a wok, place the wok ring
onto the pan support over the wok burner. Make
sure that the wok is stable on the wok ring when
you are cooking.
– When you switch from setting 3 to setting 4 or
higher, the burner will briefly switch to its maximum
output. This is to optimise ignition between the
burner rings.
– Do not cover the ventilation openings on the rear of
the gas hob.
– When the gas cooktop is switched on, the
electronics open up the gas supply, which
produces a short sound. This is normal.
– In the event of a power failure, the appliance will
not work. The gas supply is shut off.
m Warning – Risk of deflagration!
If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, switch off
the control knob and open the door or window in the
room. Wait at least 1 minute before igniting the burner
again.
Simmer setting
With the simmer setting, the burner switches the gas
flame on and off. This allows you to melt chocolate or
heat up delicate sauces, for example.
Turn the control knob to Â. It takes 10 - 50 seconds to
switch on or off.
Electronic flame monitoring and
automatic re-ignition
For your safety, the hob has an electronic flame
monitoring system. If the flame goes out while the hob is
in use (e.g. due to a draught), the appliance will
automatically re-ignite the burner.
If re-ignition is unsuccessful (e.g. because liquid or food
has boiled over and remains on the burner), the
appliance will switch off the gas supply.The illuminated
ring behind the control knob will flash.
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 or the ignition plug are covered in food remnants
etc.~ "Trouble shooting" on page 15
Switching off
Switching on
Your gas hob has an automatic quick-ignition function.
1 Place a suitable item of cookware on the pan
support.
2 Push in the control knob for your chosen burner
and turn it clockwise or anti-clockwise to the heat
setting you require.
The burner ignites automatically.
Turn the control knob to set the heat setting.
Turn the control knob to position 0. The appliance
electronics will shut off the gas supply.
Residual heat indicator
The luminous disc behind the control knob flashes after
switching off, to indicate that the appliance has still not
cooled down to such an extent that it can be touched
safely.
Safety shut-off
For your safety, the appliance has a safety shut-off
function.The appliance is automatically switched off if it
has been in operation for an extended period. How long
the appliance waits before switching itself off depends
on the setting (setting 12 = 1 hour, setting 1 = 4 hours).
The illuminated ring behind the control knob will flash
orange and white alternately.
Turn the control knob to 0. You will now be able to start
the appliance again as usual.

Tips for using a wok
Note: When you cook using a wok, place the wok ring
onto the pan support over the wok burner. Make sure
that the wok is stable on the wok ring when you are
cooking.
We recommend using woks with a domed base. You can
order a high-quality wok as an optional accessory (WP
400 001).
When cooking with the wok, use only cooking oil that is
suitable for heating to high temperatures, such as
groundnut oil.
Cook the ingredients at a high heat, while stirring
constantly. Do not cook them for too long. The
vegetables should be al dente.
For stirring the food and for taking it out of the pan, it is
best to use a shallow ladle with a long handle made
from a heat-resistant material.
Burner recommendation
For cooking at low temperatures and with a long
preparation time (e.g. melting, soaking, baking), select
the standard- or high-output burner (not the wok
burner).
For cooking at high temperatures and with a short
preparation time (e.g. warming, deep-frying), we
recommend the wok burner or the high-output burner.
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.

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.
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.

m Advertencia – ¡COMPORTAMIENTO EN
CASO PERCIBIR OLOR A GAS!
Un escape de gas puede provocar una
explosión.
Si se detecta olor a gas o una avería en la
instalación de gas:
▯ Cortar inmediatamente la alimentación de
gas o cerrar la válvula de la bombona de
gas.
▯ Apagar inmediatamente los fuegos abiertos
y cigarrillos.
▯ No volver a accionar el interruptor de la luz
o del aparato, no desenchufar ningún
aparato. No usar el teléfono fijo o el móvil
en la casa.
▯ Abrir la ventana y ventilar a fondo la
habitación.
▯ Llamar al Servicio de Asistencia Técnica o
a la compañía de abastecimiento de gas.
m Advertencia – ¡Peligro de asfixia!
El uso de una cocina de gas da lugar a la
formación de calor, humedad y productos de
combustión en la habitación donde se
encuentre instalada. Asegurar una buena
ventilación en la habitación. Es preciso
mantener siempre abiertas las aberturas
naturales de ventilación o instalar un
dispositivo mecánico de ventilación (p. ej. una
campana extractora). Un uso intenso y
prolongado del aparato puede hacer necesaria
una ventilación adicional (p. ej. abrir una
ventana) o una ventilación más efectiva (p. ej.
funcionamiento del dispositivo mecánico de
ventilación a un nivel de potencia superior).
m Advertencia – ¡Peligro de incendio!
▯ El aceite caliente y la grasa se inflaman con
facilidad. Estar siempre pendiente del
aceite caliente y de la grasa. No apagar
nunca con agua un fuego. Apagar la zona
de cocción. Sofocar con cuidado las llamas
con una tapa, una tapa extintora u otro
medio similar.
¡Peligro de incendio!
▯ Las zonas de cocción se calientan mucho.
No colocar objetos inflamables sobre la
placa de cocción. No almacenar objetos
sobre la placa de cocción.
¡Peligro de incendio!
▯ El aparato se calienta mucho, los
materiales inflamables se pueden
incendiar. No almacenar ni usar objetos
inflamables (p. ej. aerosoles o productos
de limpieza) debajo o demasiado cerca del
aparato. No colocar objetos inflamables
sobre el aparato o dentro de él.
¡Peligro de incendio!
▯ Cuando el aparato se calienta mucho, las
prendas textiles y otros objetos cercanos
pueden incendiarse. Mantener los textiles
(p. ej. prendas de vestir o cortinas) alejados
de las llamas. No tocar nunca las llamas.
No guardar objetos inflamables (p. ej. un
paño de cocina o una revista) debajo o
detrás del aparato.
¡Peligro de incendio!
▯ Los fogones de gas, en los que no se haya
colocado ningún recipiente para cocinar
encima, generan gran cantidad de calor
durante su funcionamiento. El aparato y la
campana extractora, en caso de haberla,
pueden quedar dañados o incendiarse. Los
restos de grasa en el filtro de la campana
extractora pueden inflamarse. Utilizar los
fogones de gas únicamente colocando
encima recipientes para cocinar.
¡Peligro de deflagración!
▯ Si transcurridos 15 segundos la llama no
se enciende, desactivar el mando de
control y abrir la puerta o ventana de la
estancia. Esperar al menos un minuto
antes de intentar encender el quemador de
nuevo.

m Advertencia – ¡Peligro de quemaduras!
▯ El aparato se calienta durante el
funcionamiento. Antes de proceder a la
limpieza del aparato, dejar que se enfríe.
¡Peligro de quemaduras!
▯ Las zonas de cocción y adyacentes, en
especial el marco de la placa de cocción (si
lo hay), se calientan mucho. No tocar nunca
las superficies calientes. No dejar que los
niños se acerquen.
¡Peligro de quemaduras!
▯ Las partes accesibles se calientan durante
el funcionamiento. No tocar nunca las
partes calientes. No dejar que los niños se
acerquen.
¡Riesgo de sufrir quemaduras !
▯ Al tener la tapa del aparato cerrada se
produce una acumulación de calor.

Líquidos derramados antes de abrir la tapa del
aparato.
m Advertencia – ¡Peligro de lesiones!
▯ Las reparaciones inadecuadas son
peligrosas. Las reparaciones y la
sustitución de cables eléctricos y
conductos de gas defectuosos solo
pueden ser efectuadas por personal del
Servicio Técnico debidamente instruido. Si
el aparato está averiado, desenchufarlo de
la red o desconectar el interruptor
automático del cuadro eléctrico y cortar la
alimentación de gas. Avisar al Servicio de
Asistencia Técnica.
¡Peligro de lesiones!
▯ Las averías o daños en el aparato conllevan
peligro. No conectar nunca un aparato
defectuoso. Desenchufar el aparato de la
red o desconectar el fusible en la caja de
fusibles. Cortar la alimentación de gas.
Avisar al Servicio de Asistencia Técnica.
¡Peligro de lesiones!
▯ Las ollas que presenten daños, tengan un
tamaño inadecuado o estén mal situadas
pueden provocar lesiones graves. Observar
los consejos y advertencias relativos a los
recipientes para cocinar.
¡Peligro de quemaduras!
▯ Los recipientes para cocinar vacíos
colocados sobre fogones de gas
encendidos, se calentarán en exceso. No
calentar nunca recipientes para cocinar
vacíos.
¡Peligro de quemaduras!
▯ Si la botella de gas líquido no está en
posición vertical, el propano/butano
líquido puede llegar al interior del aparato,
por lo que puede causar llamas vivas en los
quemadores. Con el tiempo, los
componentes pueden dañarse y perder
estanqueidad, de modo que puede
escaparse gas. Ambos casos pueden
producir quemaduras. Utilizar botellas de
gas líquido siempre en posición vertical.
