Siemens 36inc User Manual [en, es, fr]

Dear Customer,

We thank and congratulate you on your choice.
This practical, modern and functional appliance has been built with
top quality materials. These materials have been subjected to
thorough quality control in the manufacturing process, and
meticulously tested in order for this appliance to meet your every
need, achieving perfect cooking.
Therefore, we ask you to read and follow these simple instructions
in order to guarantee unbeatable results from the first use. This
manual contains important information, not only for use of the
appliance, but safety and maintenance as well.

During transport, our products are protected by efficient packaging
materials. However, we have reduced our packaging to the bare
essentials. The materials are all completely recyclable. Just like us,
you can help protect the environment. To do so, we recommend
you dispose of these materials in the recycling facility nearest you.
Waste oil should not be poured down the sink drain, as this has a
negative impact on the environment. Place it in a closed container
and dispose of it at a collection point. If this is not possible, dispose
of it with standard domestic waste (as it will be taken to a controlled
landfill, and though this is not the best solution, at least water
pollution will be avoided). Present and future generations will
appreciate it.
Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you render it
inoperable. Next, deliver it to a recyclable material collection facility.
Your local government can provide you with the necessary information
on the nearest collection facility.

of the pot or pan. Do not allow the flame to
extend beyond it.

• Use caution so that the currents triggered by
the forced ventilation openings or fans do not blow
the inflammable material toward the flames, or
push them so that they extend beyond the edges
of the pot or pan.

• Always use cooking utensils with flat
bottoms big enough to cover the burner. If
smaller utensils are used, part of the flame can
remain exposed and set clothing on fire.

• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
inflammable materials and unintentional spills,
point the handles of the utensils inward, so
that they do not hang over adjacent working areas,
cooking areas or the edge of the cooktop.

• When stirring or turning food, hold the
handle of the pot or pan firmly, to prevent it from
moving.

• GREASE IS INFLAMMABLE. Let hot grease
cool before handling it. Prevent the formation of
grease build-up. Clean the cooktop following

There are indications to show which burner each control knob
operates. Fig. 1.

To light a burner, press the chosen control knob and turn it
toward the left, holding it in the maximum setting for a few
seconds until the burner is lit, then release it, and adjust to the
desired setting. If it does not light, repeat the procedure.

CAUTION - All igniters spark w hen any single burner is

turned ON. Do not touch any of the burners w hen the

cooktop is in use.

If the ignitor are dirty, this makes the burner harder

to light. Therefore, keep them as clean as possible. This
cleaning should be performed with a small brush, considering

that the ignitor can not withstand any sharp blows.

If your cooktop is not fitted with this automatic lighting

feature, use a lighter or a match to light the burner.

Your cooktop may be equipped with safety thermocouples

to prevent gas flow if the burners are accidentally extinguished.
Figure 2.

To turn on and activate this innovative system, proceed in
the same way, but keeping the control knob pressed down
until ignition takes place, the flame appears and does not
extinguish.
If ignition does not take place, repeat the procedure, keeping
the control knob pressed down 1-5 seconds.

To turn it off, turn the control knob to the right to the correct
position . When carrying out this procedure, the ignition
system may activate again. This is completely normal.

Your modern, functional cooktop has progressive gas valves

that make it possible to adjust to the necessary setting
between the maximum and minimum flames.

Triple flame burners and large triple flame burners are very
practical and convenient for cooking with "paella" pans, Chinese
Woks (all sorts of Asian dishes), etc.

If your cooktop is equipped with a large triple flame burner,

it will have a valve facilitating independent control of the
interior and exterior flame. This revolutionary system makes it
possible to select from a wide array of power settings.
Working description Fig. 3.

The direct impact of the flame on the enamel may cause an
orange-coloured flame in the Large, triple-flame burner.

The use of the appliance produces heat and humidity in the
site where it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen has good
ventilation. Keep ventilation channels open or install a
mechanical ventilation system (extraction hood).

Prolonged use of the appliance with several or all cooking units
may require additional ventilation, such as opening a window
(without causing air currents) or increasing the power of
mechanical ventilation if it exists.

Cooking warnings

NO YES

Do not use small pots on
large burners. The flame
should not touch the sides of
the pot.

Always use appropriate
pots for each burner.
This will prevent excessive
consumption of gas and
staining of the pots.

Do not cook without a lid, or
if the lid moves, as this causes
a partial energy loss.

Do not use pots with
irregular bottoms as they
lengthen cooking time and
increase energy consumption.

Do not place the pot
off-center over the burner, as
tipping could result.
Do not use large-diameter
pots on the burners near
the control knobs, which, once
centered over the burner,
could touch the knobs or be
close enough to them that the
temperature of that area in­creases, possibly causing
damage.

Never place pots
directly on top of the burners.

Do not use excessive weights
or strike the cooktop with
heavy objects.

Always use the lid.

Use only pots, pans and
casseroles with flat, thick

bottoms.

Center the pot over

the burner.

Place the pot over

the grate.
Make sure that the grates
and burner covers

are in the correct
positions before using the
appliance.

Never use two burners or
heat sources to heat a single
pot.

Avoid using roasting grilles,
earthen pots, etc. for
extended periods at
maximum power.

Handle pots carefully when
they are on the cooktop.

11

Steel usage rules:

cleaning and care

NO YES

DO NOT use abrasive
products, sharp objects,
steel wool, knives, etc. to
remove hardened
remains of food on the
cooktop, pan
supports, burners or
electrical cooktops.
If your cooktop has a
glass panel, DO NOT
use a knife, scraper or any
similar device to clean
the joint where it meets
the metal.

DO NOT use steam
cleaning machines on the
cooktop, as they
could damage it.

DO NOT leave acidic
liquids (lemon juice,
vinegar, etc.) on the
cooktop.

Once the appliance has
cooled, clean it with a

sponge, soap and
water.

Remove all spilt liquids
immediately. This will
save unnecessary efforts.

To keep the burners and
pan supports clean, they
must be regularly
cleaned, submerging
them in soapy water and
scrubbing them with a
non-metallic brush so that
the holes and slots are
perfectly clear to provide
proper flame. Always dry
the burner covers and the
grates if they have
become wet.

After cleaning and drying
the burners, ensure that
the lids are properly
placed atop the burner
flame diffuser.
If the appliance has
Monoblock burners, en­sure that they are perfect­ly dry before their next
use.

Due to the high temperatures that the ring lid of your triple flame burner, and stainless steel
areas such as the grease splash tray and the outer perimeter of the burners, etc. must withstand,
they will become discoloured over time. This is NORMAL. Clean them after every use using
products appropriate for stainless steel.
After washing the grates, dry them completely before cooking with them again. The
presence of water droplets or wet areas at the beginning of cooking can cause possible points
of enamel deterioration.
If the grates of your cooktop have rubber pads, use precaution when cleaning them,
as they could come off, leaving the grate unprotected and leading to scratching of the
cooktop.
Stainless steel cleaning products should not be used in the area surrounding the control knobs.
The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.
