These operating and installation instructions must be discussed with the users
and then handed over to them.

■ The appliance should only be used with natural gas or liquefied petroleum

gas (butane/propane or a mixture of the two).

■ The supply pressure must be

– for natural gas H, E, LL 20 mbar
– for liquefied petroleum gas50 mbar.
Do not take the appliance into operation if the gas supply pressure is out
of range.
– natural gas min. 17.0 mbar, 25.0 mbar max.
– liquefied petroleum gas min. 42.5 mbar, 57.5 mbar max.
The indicated gas supply pressure refers to Germany. Gas supply pressure
in other European countries. see section “Technical data”.

■ Only the nationally approved pressure governors may be used.

■ The appliance has been designed for a mains supply of 230 V/50 Hz. It

consumes approx. 35 W.

■ The technical connection data can be found on the rating label of the

appliance.

■ Before connecting the appliance it must be checked whether the local

supply conditions (type of gas and gas pressure) and the settings of the
appliance correspond.

■ All appliance settings are listed in “Technical data”. They are indicated on

the appliance by an indicating label (or on the identification plate).

■ If a setting is changed, this must be clearly indicated.

■ This appliance should not be connected to a pipe for extracting combustion

products. It must be fitted and connected in accordance with the applicable
conditions of installation.

■ The use of a gas cooker causes heat and humidity to form in the room

where the cooker is installed. For this reason it should always be ensured
that the kitchen is well ventilated.

■ All work, such as connection to the gas mains or adjusting and converting

the appliance, should only be carried out by a qualified fitter. The statutory
regulations and the connection conditions of the local gas board must be
observed in every detail.

■ All maintenance and repair work should only be carried out by a Customer

Service technician trained by the manufacturer. Always ensure to disconnect
the appliance from the energy supply when repairs are being carried out on
facilities for directing the flow of gas. Work carried out incorrectly places
your safety at risk.

■ If the appliance is run on liquefied petroleum gas (butane or propane gas),

all connections between the bottle and the appliance must be absolutely
tight and leak-proof.

■ Do not wedge in freely laid supply hoses or place them on the hot hob.

■ If cooker hoods are mounted above the hob, please observe a minimum

distance of 650 mm. Please take note of the instructions of the respective
manufacturer of the cooker hood.

■ We recommend that the appliance is serviced at regular intervals by a

qualified fitter (maintenance agreement).

Operation

■ Do not switch the appliance on until the installing technician has explained

the appliance to you.

■ In addition you should carefully read the information in these operating and

installation instructions. Here you will find important notes concerning safety
and how to use the appliance. You should remember that any damage due
to improper operation does not fall within the scope of the guarantee.

■ The appliance is to be used only for the preparation of food in the home.

■ Never use the appliance to heat a room.

■ In the event of any trouble during operation, immediately turn off the supply

of gas.

■ Please keep this manual in a safe place.

■ Never put the cooking zones into operation unless there is a saucepan of

food on top of them.

■ Never use the hob as a work or storage surface!

■ The surfaces of the hob and of the entire appliance become very hot when

in operation.
Always keep children away!

■ The air vents of the hob must never be covered.

■ Overheated fats and oils may spontaneously ignite. Food involving the use

of fats and oils, e.g. chips, may only be cooked under supervision. Never
extinguish ignited fats and oils with water! Put the lid on, turn off the
cooking zone and remove the pan.

■ The glass ceramic hob is very tough and can easily stand light to medium

blows and loads distributed over large areas. You should, however, avoid
concentrated loads, such as containers for spices and herbs or bottles
falling onto the surface.

■ If cracks, fractures or any other defects appear in your glass ceramic hob,

immediately switch off the appliance.

■ Do not place aluminium foil or plastic on the cooking zones.

■ Do not use aluminium containers as kitchenware.

■ When the is appliance is cold you should heat it approx. for 2 minutes at

cooking level 12 before switching back to a lower cooking level.

■ Make sure connection cables for electrical devices are not jammed on the

hot cooking zones.

■ Always keep pressure cookers under observation until the right pressure has

been reached. First set the burner of the cooking zone to full flame and
then turn down the flame in good time (as indicated by the manufacturer
of the saucepan).
