(Important safety

information

Important safety information

:Warning – WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL

GAS!

Escaping gas may cause an explosion.

If you smell gas or notice any faults in the

gas installation:

■ Immediately shut off the gas supply or close

the gas cylinder valve.

■ Immediately extinguish all naked flames

and cigarettes.

■ Do not use any light or appliance switches

and do not pull any plugs out of sockets.

Do not use any telephones or mobile

phones within the building.

■ Open windows and ventilate the room.

■ Call the aftersales service or the gas

supplier.

:Warning – Risk of asphyxiation!

The use of a gas cooker leads to a build-up of

heat, moisture and products of combustion in

the room where the appliance is installed.

Ensure that the installation room is well

ventilated. The natural ventilation openings

must be kept open or a mechanical ventilation

device must be provided (e.g. an extractor

hood). Intensive and persistent use of the

appliance may mean that it is necessary to

have additional ventilation (e.g. opening a

window), or more effective ventilation (e.g.

operating the existing mechanical ventilation

device at a higher setting).

en Important safety information

:Warning – Risk of fire!

■ Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never

leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use

water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off

the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully

using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.

Risk of fire!

■ The hotplates become very hot. Never

place combustible items on the hob. Never

place objects on the hob.

Risk of fire!

■ The appliance becomes very hot and

flammable materials could catch fire. Never

store or use flammable objects (e.g. spray

cans, cleaning agents) under the appliance

or in its immediate vicinity. Never place

flammable items on or in the appliance.

Risk of fire!

■ When gas hotplates are in operation without

any cookware placed on them, they can

build up a lot of heat. The appliance and the

extractor hood above it may become

damaged or be set on fire. Grease residue

in the filter of the extractor hood may ignite.

Only operate the gas burners with

cookware on them.

:Warning – Risk of burns!

■ The appliance becomes hot during

Notes

■ If you hear a quiet hum when the burner is operating,

this is completely normal.

■ The first time you use your appliance, it is normal for

certain odours to be released. This does not pose

any risks, and is not a fault. The odours will

disappear over time.

■ An orange flame is normal. The colour is a result of

dust in the air, boiled-over liquids, etc.

■ If the burner's flame accidentally goes out, turn the

control knob for the burner to position 0. Wait at

least a minute until you reignite the flame.

Setting the hob

The marks on the control knobs show you the position

of the corresponding burner and the setting, from high

to low heat. The setting is infinitely variable.

Notes

■ Only ignite the hotplates if the pan supports and all

burner parts are correctly fitted.

■ The burners and ignition plugs must be clean and

dry.

■ Only use the accessories specified. Do not line the

stainless steel recess (e.g. with aluminium foil).

Automatic ignition

Note: It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the

ignition plugs are dirty, this may cause ignition

problems. Clean the ignition plugs regularly with a small

non-metallic brush. Take care to prevent the ignition

plugs from suffering any heavy knocks.

Your gas hob comes with ignition plugs for electrical

ignition.

1. Place suitable cookware on the required burner.

2. Press the corresponding control knob in and turn it

anti-clockwise to the required position.The burner will

ignite automatically.

3. Keep the control knob pressed in for a few seconds

after ignition.

The flame height can be infinitely varied between high

and low heat by turning the control knob slowly.

:Warning – Risk of deflagration!

If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, switch off

the control knob and open the door or window in the

room. Wait at least a minute before igniting the burner

again.

Safety system

Your hob is equipped with a safety system

(thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners

are accidentally switched off.

To ensure that this device is active:

1. Switch on the burner as usual.

2. Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it

down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.

Lighting manually

In the event of a power cut, you can light the burners

manually.

1. Place suitable cookware on the required burner.

2. Press the corresponding control knob in and turn it

anti-clockwise to the required position.Keep the

control knob pressed in.

3. Light the burner with a gas lighter or a match. Keep

the control knob pressed in for a few seconds after

ignition.

Switching off

Turn the control knob you require clockwise to

position 0.

Table of settings and tips

The values given in the table of settings are only a

guide; you may need more or less heat depending on

the type and state of the food, as well as the size of the

pan and how full it is.

Fat and oil heat up quickly due to the high heat setting.

Do not leave food unattended while it is frying, as fat

can ignite and the food may burn.

Food that needs to be cooked for longer should be

cooked on the rear cooking zones.

For parboiling, deep-fat frying and flash frying large

quantities of food, it is a good idea to use the high

output burners or the wok burner.

Tips for using a wok

Note: When you cook using a wok, place the additional

wok grid onto the pan support over the wok

burner.Make sure that the wok is stable on the

additional wok grid when you are cooking.

We recommend using woks with a domed base. You

can order a high-quality wok as an optional accessory

(order number 00469744).

When cooking with the wok, use only cooking oil that is

suitable for heating to high temperatures, such as

peanut oil.

Cook the ingredients at a high heat, while stirring

constantly. Do not cook them for too long. The

vegetables should be al dente.

For stirring the food and for taking it out of the pan, it is

best to use a shallow ladle with a long handle made

from a heat-resistant material.

Precautions for use

The following advice is intended to help you save

energy and prevent pan damage:

2Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning and maintenance

With good care and cleaning, your appliance will retain

its appearance and remain fully functioning for a long

time to come. We will explain here how you should

correctly care for and clean your appliance.

:Warning – Risk of burns!

The appliance will become hot during operation. Allow

the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

:Warning – Risk of electric shock!

Do not use a high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to

clean your appliance.

Do not use the following cleaning agents:

■ Abrasive or rough cleaners

■ Acidic cleaners (e.g. vinegar, citric acid, etc.)

■ Chlorinated cleaners or cleaners with a high alcohol

content

■ Oven spray

■ Hard, scratchy sponges, brushes or scouring pads

■ Wash new sponge cloths thoroughly before use.

Use pans which are the

right size for each burner.

Do not use small pans on

large burners. The flame

must not touch the sides

of the pan.

Do not use damaged

pans, which do not sit

evenly on the hob. Pans

may tip over.

Only use pans with a

thick, flat base.

Do not cook without using

a lid and make sure the lid

is properly fitted. This

wastes energy.

Always centre the pan

over the burner, not to one

side. Otherwise it could tip

over.

Do not place large pans

on the burners near the

control knobs. These may

be damaged by the very

high temperatures.

Place the pans on the pan

supports, never directly on

the burner.
