The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the appliance and an effective earthing system. It is imperative that this basic safety requirement be tested and where there is any doubt, the electrical system of the house should be checked out by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage such as electric shock caused by the lack or inadequacy of an effective earthing system.

Ensure that the gas pipe and

electrical cable are installed in such a way that they do not touch any parts of the appliance which become hot. This could cause damage.

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

Technical safety

The connection to the gas supply

must be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and national safety regulations. If the appliance is supplied without a plug, or if the plug is removed the appliance must additionally be installed and connected by a suitably qualified and competent electrician in strict accordance with national and local regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect installation or connection.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct usage

For safety reasons the appliance

must only be operated after it has been built in. This is necessary to ensure that all electric components are shielded.

This appliance is for domestic use

only, and is not intended for commercial use.

Use this appliance for the

preparation of meals only. Any other usage is at the owner’s risk and could be dangerous. The manufacturer can not be held liable for damage caused by improper use or misuse of the appliance.

Do not use the appliance to heat

up the room. The high temperature could cause inflammable objects nearby to catch fire.

Ensure the room in which the gas

hob is installed has sufficient ventilation. In a small kitchen it may be advisable to keep the door open if using the hob for extended periods.

This appliance must not be set up

or operated in the open air.

Make sure all the components of

the gas burners have been correctly assembled before switching on.

Do not store any inflammable objects near the gas hob.

KM 405

Only use pans with a base

diameter of maximum 22 cm (front burner) and 24 cm (rear burner) on this hob. Using larger pans may cause the flames to spread out to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or surrounding units.

For safety and stability use only

pans with a minimum base diameter of 12 cm (front burner) and 14 cm (rear burner).

KM 406 / KM 416

Ensure that the air inlet is never

covered over with a cloth or anything else.

Only use woks or pans with a base

diameter between 16 cm and maximum 28 cm on this hob. Using larger pans may cause the flames to spread out to the sides and damage or burn the worktop, wall claddings or surrounding units.

For safety and stability use the

trivet for pans with a base diameter of less than 16 cm.

When using a cooker hood over

the gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered with a pan. Otherwise flames could be drawn up by the suction of the cooker hood, parts of which could then be damaged or even set on fire.

Warning and Safety instructions

Protecting the appliance from damage

Do not drop anything on the

ceramic surface of the hob. Even a light object such as a salt cellar could cause damage in certain circumstances.

Unless the pan manufacturer

states that you can do so, you should never use pans with thin bases on this hob and you should never heat up an empty pan. Otherwise the hob could get damaged.

Under no circumstances use a

steam cleaning appliance to clean the gas hob. Pressurised steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.

In countries which may be subject

to infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which might be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.

Protection from burning

Do not let small children use the

appliance or touch it during operation. The burner support, trivet, burners and also the ceramic surfaces around the burners heat up and remain hot for quite a while after the appliance has been switched off. Danger of burning. Do not touch them until they have cooled down. The use of oven gloves is recommended.

Do not store anything which might

arouse a child’s interest in storage areas above or next to the hob. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.

Use heat-resistant pot holders or

gloves when handling hot pots and pans. Ensure that the pot holders do not come into contact with the flames. Do not use large cloths, tea towels or similar as the ends could touch the flames and catch fire. Take care not to let pot holders or gloves get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material quicker with the risk of burning yourself.

To prevent the risk of children

reaching pan handles and pulling pans over with the danger of burning or scalding themselves be sure to turn pan handles inwards and out of their reach. Special hob guards are available from good retail outlets as additional protection.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not heat up unopened tins of

food on the hob as pressure will build up in the tin and it can explode. This could result in injury or damage.

Do not use the hob as a resting

place for anything else. If the hob was switched on inadvertently, or if it was still hot the article could begin to melt or catch fire.

Remove splashes of fat and other

food debris from the surface as soon as possible. These are a fire hazard.

Do not cover the hob with a cloth,

household foils or other similar objects. This could lead to danger of the article catching fire, if the hob were to be switched on inadvertently.

Never leave the hob unattended

when cooking with oil or fats as these are fire hazards if overheated. Overheated fat could catch fire and even set the cooker hood on fire.

Do not flambé under a cooker

hood. Otherwise flames could be drawn up by the suction of the cooker hood, parts of which could then be damaged or even set on fire.

Ensure that the flames from the

burner does not spread out beyond the base and up the sides of the pan.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other

inflammable substances should not be stored in a drawer under the hob if there is no shelf separating the drawer from the hob. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer these must be made of a suitable heat-resistant material.

If oil or fat does catch fire despite

this do not attempt to put out the flames with water. Use a suitable fire blanket or fire extinguisher.

Warning and Safety instructions

With a damaged appliance

In the event of damage or a defect,

switch off the appliance immedi ately. Turn off the gas supply tap, and disconnect completely from the electricity supply. Contact the Service department. Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from the electricity supply before any servicing or repair work.

Any breakages or cracks in the

ceramic surface of the hob are defects and must be treated as such.

Repairs to the gas and electrical components of this appliance must

only be carried out by a suitably

qualified person. Repairs by

unauthorised personnel could be dangerous. On no account open the outer casing of the appliance.

While the appliance is under

Warning and Safety instructions

Further safety notes

When using an electric socket near

the hob, care should be taken that the cable of the electrical appliance does not come into contact with the gas flames or the hot parts of the hob. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.

Always ensure that food is

sufficiently cooked or reheated. Some foods may contain micro organisms which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

containers. These melt at higher temperatures and could damage the ceramic surface. Fire hazard.

Before disposing of an old

appliance, ensure that disconnection from the gas supply is made by a suitably competent person. Switch off at the mains electricity supply. Cut off and render any plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse. Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Before using for the first time

Cleaning and heating up for the first time

Before using for the first time clean the hob and all removable parts as follows:

The removable parts of the gas

burner assembly can be washed in a mild solution of water and washing-up liquid. Wipe dry and reassemble in the correct order (see "Cleaning and care").

Clean the ceramic surface with a

damp cloth only, and then wipe dry.

Do not use washing up liquid on the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen on the surface which may be difficult to remove.

Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when the hob is heated up for the first time. The smell and any vapours will dissipate after a short time and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance.

KM 405 / KM 416

ß the gas supply is turned off

& strong flame / weak flame

Switching on:

Control the flame so that it does not spread out beyond the sides of the pan. As the outer part of the flame is much hotter than the centre, the tips of the flames should stay beneath the pan base. Flame tips which extend beyond the sides of the pan merely warm up the air in the room and can also damage pan handles and increase the danger of burning.

Switching off:

^ Turn the knob clockwise until the ß

position is reached.

This stops the flow of gas and the flame goes out.

^ Press in the control and then turn

anti-clockwise to the large flame symbol.

When the flame ignites, keep the control pressed in for 8-10 seconds, and then let it go.

If the flame goes out, repeat the procedure, keeping the control knob pressed in for a few extra seconds.

With the knob no longer pressed in you can continue turning it towards the small flame symbol.
