~
Smother any fire or flame using a lid, or
use a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
,
WARNING - NEVER use this
appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning
and overheating.
Protect your hands with oven mitts
~
or potholders when using the
appliance. Use only dry, heat resistant
potholders. Moist or damp potholders
used on hot surfaces can result in
steam burns. Do not let the potholder
touch the hot heating elements. Do not
use towels or other bulky items near the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Only certain types of glass, ceramic
~
or other glazed cookware are suitable
for use on a cooktop without breaking
due to the sudden temperature change.
Do not use containers made of
~
plastic or aluminium. They may melt at
high temperatures.
The burner grates supplied with the
~
appliance must always be used. Never
place a pan on the burner by itself.
Do not let cooking grease or other
~
flammable materials accumulate on the
appliance. Fire Hazard.
Place the grates on vertically to
~
prevent any scratches.
The use of a gas cooktop leads to
~
the formation of heat, moisture and
combustion products in the room where
the appliance is installed. Ensure
proper attention is paid to the
ventilation of the installation area:
windows kept open or a ventilation
hood installed and running.
When using a portable appliance
~
near the cooktop, make sure that its
power cord does not come in contact
with the cooktop.
Do not use roasting pans, frying
~
pans or grill stones large enough to
cover several burners. The resulting
heat accumulation can damage the
appliance.
If the gas cooktop is installed
~
behind a cabinet door, it must only be
used with the door open.
Only close the cabinet door when the
appliance is switched off.
If the gas cooktop has not been
~
used for an unusually long time, it
should be thoroughly cleaned before
using it again and checked that it is
working properly by an authorized
expert.
Before discarding an old appliance,
~
disconnect it from the gas and
electrical supply, and cut off the power
cord to prevent it from becoming a
hazard.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
AND REVIEW THEM
PERIODICALLY
If there is a drawer directly
~
underneath the appliance without a
wooden base in between, ensure that
no aerosols, combustible liquids or
other easily flammable materials are
kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be
placed in the drawer, they must be
made of a heat-resistant material.

documents, on the appropriate place
marked in "Technical Service".
Cleaning the cooktop
Remove any protective films.
^
Wash the removable parts of the gas
^
burner in a mild solution of warm
water and liquid dish soap.
Dry and reassemble the parts in the
^
correct order (see "Cleaning and
care").
^ Wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth
and dry thoroughly.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight odor
the first time your new appliance is
heated.
The harmless odor will dissipate after a
short time and does not indicate a
faulty connection or appliance defect.
11
Using the cooktop
To turn the burner on, press and
turn the knob toward the LEFT only.
To turn the burner off, turn the knob
to the RIGHT only. The outer burner
of the double-insert super burner
requires you to press the knob down
while turning it in order to get from
the high flame to the low flame zone.
The appliance can be damaged if
you:
- turn the knob without pressing,
- turn to the right to turn on,
- turn to the left to turn off.
Control knobs
With the control knob you ignite the
burner and adjust the size of the flame.

Using the cooktop
Turning on
Do not leave the appliance
,
unattended whilst it is being used.
To light the burner, press the
^
corresponding burner control knob
and turn it to the left to the largest
flame symbol.
Pressing a burner control knob
automatically generates a spark at all
burners on the cooktop. This is
normal and does not indicate a faulty
appliance.
^ When a flame is visible, keep the
burner control knob pressed for 8 10 seconds, then release it.
^ If the flame goes out prematurely,
turn the burner control knob to "ß".
Wait at least 1 minute before
attempting to reignite. You may have
to keep the burner control knob
pressed a little longer.
Turning on in the event of a power
failure
If there is a power loss, you can ignite
the flame manually, e.g. with a match.
Press the burner control knob and
^
turn it to the left to the largest flame
symbol.
Keep the knob pressed and ignite
^
the escaping gas-air mixture with a
match.
Keep the knob pressed for a further
^
approx.8-10seconds and then
release it.
^
If the burner does not ignite even at
the second attempt, turn the burner
control knob to "ß" and read the
chapter on "Frequently asked
questions".
13
Using the cooktop
Regulating
The inner and outer burners of the
double-insert super burner are both
controlled by one control knob. There is
a stop at the 6 o’clock position that
requires you to press the knob down
while turning it in order to get from the
high flame to the low flame zone.
To reduce the flames from a high to a
^
low setting, turn the burner control
knob counterclockwise until
resistance is felt. Press the knob
down until you pass the stop, and
release the pressure and set the
cooktop the desired setting.
^ To increase the flames from a low to
a high setting, turn the burner control
knob clockwise until resistance is felt.
Press the knob down until you pass
the stop, and release the pressure
and set the cooktop the desired
setting.
The flame should be regulated so that it
never protrudes beyond the pot. Since
the outer part of the gas flame is much
hotter than the center of the flame, the
flame tips should remain under the
base of the pot. Protruding flame tips
give off unnecessary heat into the air
and can damage pot handles and
increase the risk of burning.
The burner can be continuously
regulated between the highest and
lowest flame. Exception: double-insert
super burner.
Turning off
^ Turn the burner control knob
clockwise to "ß".
The gas supply is stopped and the
flame goes out.
14
Do not turn the burner control knob
clockwise beyond "ß".
