Gas burners
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.
