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.
8
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.
9
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.

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.

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.

17
Using the gas hob
Suitable pans
Any heat-resistant pans can be used on
a gas burner.
Pan bases do not need to be even for
cooking, (in contrast with those used on
an electric hob). Through the spreading
action of the flame, heat reaches all
parts of the base.
Thick pan bases reduce the risk of food
overheating in places, as heat is better
distributed.
Thin pan bases conduct heat to the
food inside more quickly than thicker
ones. However as the heat is not evenly
distributed over the pan base there is a
danger that food may heat up unevenly.
Stir the food frequently.
Pan size
The simple rule: a large pan for the
large flame, a small pan for the small
flame.
Wide, shallow pans are preferable to
narrow, tall ones. They heat up more
quickly as there is room for more flame
under the base.
KM 405
The base diameter of the pan should
–
not exceed 22 cm for the front burner
and 24 cm for the rear burner.
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, please use
–
pans with a minimum base diameter
of 12 cm for the front burner and 14
cm for the rear burner.
KM 406 / KM 416
– The base diameter of the pan or wok
should not exceed 28 cm.
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, please use
the trivet for pans with a base
diameter less than 16 cm.
When using smaller pans you should
always turn the hob control to the
lowest setting. If it is too high flames
can lick up the sides of the pan!
18
Using the gas hob
Safety cut-out
This appliance is fitted with an electric
ignition safety device which cuts off the
supply of gas to a burner if the flame
goes out, for example if food has boiled
over, or if there was a sudden draught.
To use the hob again, turn the knob
^
clockwise until the ß position is
reached and switch on as normal.
The safety cut-out operates
independently from the electricity
supply. This means that it is still active
when the hob is used during a power
cut (see "Use during a power cut").
Use during a power cut
If there is an interruption to the
electricity supply the gas can be
ignited with a match:
Press in the relevant control knob and
^
turn it anti-clockwise to the large gas
symbol.
Hold the control pressed in and light
^
the gas at the burner with a match.
Keep the control knob pressed in for
^
a further 8-10 seconds and then
release it.
19
Cleaning and care
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this
appliance. Pressurised steam could
cause permanent damage to the
surface and to components for
which the manufacturer cannot
accept liability.
Do not use any sharp objects which
could damage the seal between the
ceramic surface and the
surrounding frame and between the
frame and the worktop.
Never use aggressive or abrasive
cleaning agents, e.g. grill and oven
sprays, stain or rust removers,
scouring agents or abrasive
sponges.
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.
Ceramic hob surface
The ceramic surface should be cleaned
regularly, preferably after each use.
Before cleaning, allow the hob to cool
down. Once it has cooled down, wipe
soiling off using a damp cloth. Stubborn
soiling is best removed with a shielded
scraper blade.
Then apply a proprietary cleaning
agent for ceramic surfaces using a soft
cloth or kitchen paper towel. This way
any limescale deposits, caused for
example by water boiling over, are
removed.
Finally wipe the hob surface with a
damp cloth and then dry it with a clean
soft cloth.
Note that some cleaning agents contain
a protective additive designed to
prevent water marks and smears
adhering to the surface.
The ceramic surface can be cleaned
using a proprietary cleaner for
ceramic surfaces. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
Do not let the ignitor in the burner
get wet. If it gets wet it will not spark.
After cleaning the ceramic surface it
must be thoroughly dried with a soft
cloth to prevent a build up of
limescale deposits.
