1 Safety precautions
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪ In case of overheating, switch the hob off and allow it to cool down com-
pletely. Do not put any dishes on it. Under no circumstances use cold water
to cool it down quickly.
▪ Do not climb on to the appliance.
▪ Do not cut or prepare food on the surface and avoid impact with hard ob-
jects. Do not drag cookware across the surface.
▪ Do not allow food to get onto the surfaces when they are hot, as it can dam-
age them. If food were to get onto the surfaces when they are hot, it must
be cleaned off straightaway.
▪ Only use cookware that is suitable for cooking with gas.
▪ Moving pans and cookware around causes scratches. This can be largely
prevented by lifting pans and cookware up and then placing them down in
position.
▪ The hob is designed to be used – signs of use, such as scratches or the
wear and tear from pans and cookware, are normal. The more intensively it
is used, the greater the signs of use; however, the appliance remains in per-
fect working order and therefore does not give a right of complaint. Safety is
guaranteed at all times.
1.5 Warnings
Please observe the notes on use in the «Cookware» (see page 14)
section.
▪ It is normal for a new appliance to give off an unpleasant smell when it is
first used. It does not indicate the existence of a danger or a defect. The
smell will fade over time.
▪ The colour of the flame can sometimes be orange. This is normal. It occurs
when there is dust in the air, when some liquid spills over, etc.
▪ If a burner flame accidentally goes out, turn the control knob for the burner
to «Off» and wait at least one minute before reigniting it.
▪ A noise can be heard a few seconds after the burner is turned on and off.
This is normal. It indicates that the safety system has opened or shut down
the flow of gas.
▪ Ensure that the appliance is kept clean. If the ignition sparkers or thermo-
couples are dirty, the burners will not light or work properly. Clean the igni-
tion sparkers and thermocouples periodically using a small non-wire brush.
Ensure that the ignition sparkers and thermocouples receive no hard
knocks.
