Appliance description
www.bora.com
INFO Each gas cooking zone is equipped with a safety
thermocouple. This element detects if the flame
has gone out (e.g. if a pan has boiled over or there
is a strong draught). The gas supply is then turned
off and the burner is automatically reignited.
If reignition is not possible, the gas supply is
stopped. A gas leak is therefore prevented.
Suitable cookware
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for gas
cooktops.
INFO The heating and heat through time for the base
of the cookware as well as the cooking results
are significantly influenced by the structure and
material of the cookware. Cookware with a thick
base ensures more even heat distribution. In the
case of a thin base there is a risk of the food
becoming overheated in places. The cooktop may
also become damaged.
INFO Take special care not to overheat the cookware as
the base can become deformed. For this reason,
you should never heat up cookware when empty.
INFO Cookware with an uneven base may tip over. A
slight wobble can never be completely ruled out.
Suitable cookware is made of:
copper
stainless steel
aluminium
cast iron

Tab. 4.15 Pan diameters
INFO Only use cookware with a diameter that is within
the given dimensions. If the diameter is too large,
the hot gases flowing outwards from under the
base may damage the worktop or any non-heat-
resistant wall, e.g. with panelling, as well as part
of the cooktop and the cooktop extractor. Bora
shall not be held liable for any such damages.
Pay attention to the cookware bottom. The base of
the cookware should not show any sign of curvature.
Due to incorrect temperature monitoring of the hob
caused by the air gap between the cookware and the
temperature sensor underneath the hob, overheating
may occur. The bottom of the cookware must not have
any sharp grooves or sharp edges to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly
onto the glass ceramic.
4.3.6 How gas glass ceramic cooktop CKG
works
INFO The cooktop has automatic ignition.
If a cooking zone is switched on, the gas flame generates
heat, which directly heats the base of the cookware. The
gas flame is controlled by a highly accurate electronic
gas control system (E-gas system). Among other things,
servomotors are used to accurately control each
gas burner. These servomotors calibrate themselves
from time to time and typical humming noises can be
heard that are totally normal and do not constitute a
malfunction.
The advantage of this electronic gas control system is the
optimum, repeatable heat regulation, which means that
the selected power levels are identical in every cooking
session. In addition, a clean, constantly increasing flame
is formed at every power level. Furthermore, if necessary,
it can be automatically reignited.
Power levels
The power is adjusted using power levels 1 – 9 and P.
The output of gas cooktops means that food is heated
quickly. A slight adjustment is needed in comparison to
conventional cooking systems when selecting the power
level in order to avoid burning food.
