Warning and safety instructions

1. Read all the instructions before using your
hob unit.

2. Use the unit only for its intended purpose.

3. Do not use the unit unless all parts are
properly in place according to the
installation and operating instructions.

4. Before servicing, disconnect the power
supply by removing the plug or switching off
the circuit breaker.

5. Never use the unit to warm or heat the
room.

6. When using an electrical socket near the
burners, make sure that the cable of the
appliance does not come into contact with
the burner of the unit.

7. Do not allow children to operate or play with
or near the unit.

8. Keep all play items stored away from the
unit to prevent injury to curious or playful
children.

9. Please remember that, in use, burners and
pot racks become hot; therefore ensure that
children do not touch them.

10. Do not store items on the unit when not in
use.

11. Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate on the unit.

12. Never leave the unit unattended when
cooking with oil or fat. Very hot oil can
cause fire.

13. Allow sufficient time for the unit to cool
before touching or exposing surface areas
to flammable materials.

14. If high settings are used, remain near the
hob in case of spitting grease or pans
boiling over, which may cause smoke.

15. Never use moist pot holders.

16. Use only certain containers suitable for
range-top service. Unsuitable containers
may break due to a sudden temperature
change.

17. Position the handle of the container towards
the centre of the range to minimize burns,
spillage and ignition of flammable materials.

18. Before removing pots and pans, be sure to
turn surface unit to “OFF”.

19. Always heat fat slowly, watching as it heats.

20. Use a deep fat thermometer to prevent
overheating.

21. When frying foods, make sure that the food
is as dry as possible to prevent moisture
from causing hot fat to bubble over.

22. When shallow or deep-fat frying, do not
overfill the pan with oil.

23. Do not use the hob if it is not connected to
the electricity mains or in the event of a
power cut. It is not safe under these
conditions.

Save the instructions.
Leave these instructions with the consumer.

Important notes for the user

– Installation and maintenance should only be

carried out by a suitably qualified person
(licensed gas fitter in Canada).

– For safety reasons, this hob should only be

fitted as a built-in appliance.

– Please remember that the hob becomes hot,

not only around the burner, but also the
control panel. Therefore ensure that small
children do not touch the hob when it is being
used.

– When cooking or boiling in large pots or pans,

ensure that there is a minimum distance of
2˝ (50 mm) between the pot and a heat­sensitive worktop.
After combustion, the hot gases flow
outwards under the base of the pot and may
consequently burn the edge of the worktop if
it is too close.

– Make sure there is a minimum distance of

5/8˝ (15 mm) between the pot or pan and the
control panel. Never place a pot on the
control panel.

– When using a cooker hood over the gas hob,

ensure that any burners in use are always
covered with a pot or frying pan. Otherwise,
parts of the cooker hood could be damaged
by the heat and/or flames.

– Note that potential hazards may exist with

overhead cabinets.

– Not to be used for space heating. This

instruction is based on safety considerations.

– When a gas cooking appliance is being used,

heat and moisture are produced in the area
where the appliance is situated. Make sure
that the area is sufficiently ventilated; open
natural ventilation openings or fit a
mechanical ventilator (extractor). When the
hob is used for longer periods, extra
ventilation may be needed, such as an open
window or a higher setting on the ventilator
(extractor).

Advice

– The safe and efficient use of this appliance

requires that it be regularly serviced by a
qualified technician; however, the frequency
of service will depend on usage. Once a year
should suffice.

Before starting check

Remove all packaging materials and labels
before using your hob.

Check:
– that the gas is on at the mains;
– that the plug is in the wall socket;
– that the pan supports are positioned correctly.

Gas burners

If a burner blows out, the electronic ignition
automatically sparks all burners to relight the
flame.

The flame is lit by means of an electrical ignition
device. When the burner control is pressed and
turned, a high voltage flows into the electrode
by the burner. Sparks are created. A spark
ignites the gas to give a flame.

Lighting and adjusting

How to use gas burners

Place the pot over the pot support fitted above
the hob.

For small pots with a diameter of less then
7˝ (175 mm), the trivet must be used in
combination with the 2-zone wok burner.

Make sure the trivet is securely fixed to the pot
support.

Push the appropriate control knob, turn it
counter-clockwise to the setting “HI”.

If the burner fails to ignite, check that:
– the burner cap is positioned correctly;
– the burner is clean and dry.

To switch off the gas supply to the burner, turn
the control knob, in a clockwise direction, to the
“OFF” position.

When cooking or boiling in large pots or pans,
ensure that there is a minimum distance of
2˝ (50 mm) between the pot and a heat-sensitive
worktop.
After combustion, the hot gases flow outwards
under the base of the pot and may consequently
burn the edge of the worktop if it is too close.

Make sure there is a minimum distance of
5/8˝ (15 mm) between the pot or pan and the
control panel. Never place a pot on the control
panel.

Right Wrong

Check to ensure that the burner is burning
correctly. The flames should be blue and
uniform.

Right Wrong

If the flames are not uniform, check to ensure
that the burner cap is properly positioned on the
ring.

If the flames are irregular and yellow, check to
ensure that a pressure regulator has been
installed. Do not use the appliance and inform
the installer.

Pans and pots

The heat from the burner is transferred via the
pan base. If the base is thick, the heat will take
longer to reach the contents, but the base will
have a more uniform temperature. Thin and light
pans will cause food to burn more easily.

To use the gas as efficiently as possible, it is
best to use a pan with a large diameter.

The tips of the flames are the hottest. If flames
escape around the sides of the pan, a great deal
of heat is lost.

Keeping the flame beneath the pan saves time
and gas and is the safest way to cook.

Cook with the lid on the pan. This can save on
energy by up to 50%.

Cooking in comfort

frying and pot-roasting
deep-frying and blanching
cooking large quantities
stir-frying

are best done on the super high-speed wok
burner.

stewing and steaming
cooking standard portions
making a roux

are best done on the high-speed burner.
The high-speed burner is ideal for preparing
portions for about 4 people.

making sauces
keeping food hot
cooking through/simmering

are best done on the inner ring of the 2-zone
burner.

At the “LO”position, this burner is large enough
to cook food through.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning, be certain the burners are
turned off and the grates are cool.

In the event of boiling over, clean immediately,
to prevent the substance which has boiled over
from igniting.

Wiping the hob down regularly immediately after
use prevents dirt from burning on and resulting
in stains which are difficult to remove.

For cleaning, use a mixture of water and
detergent or all-purpose cleaner.

Stubborn stains on the appliance can be
removed with a non-abrasive cream or a soft
sponge.

Super high-speed burner/ high-speed burner

The burners can be taken apart for cleaning and
put back together as the diagram shows.

Do not submerge hot burner caps in cold water.
The quick change in temperature may damage
the enamel.

Important:

The burners must only be lit when they are
correctly fitted together, otherwise the ignition
device could be damaged.

Avoid using too much water when cleaning the
burners. Do not use scouring powder or other
aggressive cleaning agents.

Keep the appliance and vicinity clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.

From time to time, the electrodes should be
wiped with a well wrung-out cloth and dried
with a clean cloth.
