preparation of meals only. Any
other usage is at the owner’s risk and
could be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for damage
caused by improper use of the
appliance.
Do not use the gas hob to heat up
the room. The high temperatures of
the hob could cause inflammable
objects in the vicinity to burn. This
could also shorten the life of the
appliance.
Ensure the room in which the gas
hob is installed has sufficent
ventilation. In a small kitchen it may be
advisable to keep the door open if
using the hob for extended periods.
Never let the air inlet be covered
over with a cloth or anything else.
Make sure all the components of
the gas burner have been correctly
assembled before switching on.

Warning and Safety instructions
When using a cooker hood over
the gas hob, ensure that the burner
is always covered with a pan when in
use. 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.
Only woks/pans with a diameter of
16 cm to a maximum of 28 cm
should be used on the gas hob.
If woks/pans have a larger diameter,
the flame may spread out to the sides
of the wok or the pan and damage or
burn the worktop or surrounding units.
To ensure stability use the trivet for
pans with a base diameter of less
than 16 cm.
Do not store any inflammable
objects near the gas hob.
Protecting from damage
Do not drop anything on the glass
surface of the hob. Even a light
object such as a salt cellar could cause
damage in certain circumstances.
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.
KM 416-3
Take care when cleaning the
control panel. It is susceptible to
scratching and acidic agents. To
prevent the risk of residual marks
please wipe any soiling off as soon as
possible.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or

-
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 let children access the
appliance or its controls. Supervise
its use by the elderly or infirm.
Spray canisters, aerosols and other

Using the gas hob
Switching on, Switching off,
Controls
The control knob is used to switch on
the burner and regulate the strength of
the flame.
With the knob no longer pressed in
^
you can continue turning it towards
the small flame symbol.
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.
ß the gas supply is turned off.
& strong flame
/ weak flame
Switching on:
^
The control knob for the burner
required must be pressed in and
turned anti-clockwise to the large
flame symbol to switch on.
^
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.
Switching off:
^ Turn the knob clockwise until the "ß"
mark is reached.
This stops the flow of gas and the flame
goes out.
Remember: Turn anti-clockwise to
switch on, turn clockwise to switch
off. The control knob cannot be
turned anti-clockwise from the small
flame symbol to the the "ß" mark.
10
Using the gas hob
Pans and trivet
Pan size
Wide, shallow pans are preferable to
–
narrow, tall ones. They heat up more
quickly as there is room for more
flame under the base. The burner is
also suitable for wok cooking.
– The diameter of the pan should not
be more than 28 cm.
With very large pans the exhaust
gases which flow out from under the
pan can damage the worktop or any
nearby material which is not
heat-resistant, (e.g. panelling on a
wall).
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.
–
For stability please use the trivet for
pans with a diameter of less than
16 cm. In this case always turn the
hob control to the lowest setting.
11
Using the gas hob
Safety cut-out
This gas hob is fitted with an electric
ignition safety device which cuts off the
supply of gas if the flame goes out - for
example if food has boiled over, or if
there was a sudden draught.
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
flame symbol.
Hold the knob 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.
12
Cleaning and care
Normal cleaning
For normal cleaning it is enough to wipe
over the ceramic surface, all the parts
of the burner, the cover plate of the air
vent and the control knob with a
sponge and a solution of warm water
and washing-up liquid. Dry with a soft
cloth.
Thorough cleaning
Ceramic hob surface
Treat the ceramic surface as carefully
as any other glass surface.
Stubborn spillages are best removed
with a shielded scraper blade.
Then wipe the hob surface with a damp
cloth and dry.
Limescale deposits left by water that
has boiled over can be removed with a
little vinegar or a proprietary cleaning
agent.
Always rub the ceramic surface dry
after cleaning with a damp cloth to
avoid scale deposits.
Burner
The burner can be dismantled for
cleaning when cold.
Proceed as follows:
Take off all the removable parts of the
^
burner and wash in a solution of hot
water and washing-up liquid. Then
rub them all dry. Make sure that the
flame holes are completely dry.
The surfaces of the two burner caps will
become more matt with time. This is
normal and does not indicate any
deterioration.
^ Wipe the fixed parts of the burner
base with a damp cloth and dry
afterwards.
^ Gently wipe the ignition electrode
and the thermo-element with a well
wrung-out cloth and wipe dry with a
clean cloth.
The ignition device electrode on the
burner must always be dry otherwise
it will not spark.
13
Cleaning and care
Re-assemble the burner as follows :
Make sure that the parts of the burner
are re-assembled in the correct order
after cleaning.
Important:
1. Do not mix up the top and bottom.
2. The locating lugs must fit exactly
into the notches.
Proceed as shown in the illustration.
Fit the large burner cap base on to
^
the burner base a.
^ Fit the burner collar ring e.
^ Put the large burner cap on the large
burner cap base b.
^ Put the pan support in place c.
^ Put the trivet in place if required.
14
General notes
Never use scouring agents or pads,
or strong cleaners such as oven
sprays or stain or rust removers, as
these could harm the surface.
Under no circumstances use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean
this hob. The steam pressure could
cause lasting damage to the surface
and other components. The
manufacturer can accept no
responsibility for damage so
caused.
Do not use any sharp pointed
objects which could damage the
seal between the ceramic surround
and frame between the frame and
the worktop.
