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.

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.

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.
i
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.
i
Cookware with an uneven base may tip over. A slight
wobble can never be completely ruled out.

Depending on the cookware and filling quantity, it is
recommended to either decrease or increase the power level.

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 this symbol is suitable for radiant heating
elements. The cookware used for radiant heating
surfaces must be metal and have good heat conducting
properties.
Suitable cookware is made of:
XO
stainless steel, copper or aluminium

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.
XX
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly onto the
glass ceramic.
4.3.6 How gas glass ceramic cooktop CKG
works
i
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.
