Safety instructions – cooktop
extractor operation
ö
DANGER
Risk of smoke inhalation
When the cooktop extractor is used in exhaust air
mode, it draws in air from the room it is installed in
and from neighbouring rooms. Without sufficient air,
there will be a drop in air pressure. When used at
the same time as a fireplace that is dependent on
the air in the room, noxious gases can be sucked
into the living areas from the chimney or outlet
shaft.
u
Make sure that there is always a sufficient air
supply.
u
Only use reliable, tried-and-tested switching
devices, (e.g. window contact switch, low
pressure warning device) and have them
approved by a qualified expert (certified chimney
sweep).
ö
WARNING
Fire risk from flambéing
While the cooktop extractor is working, it sucks up
grease from cooking. Flambéing food can cause the
grease to catch fire.
u
Clean the cooktop extractor regularly.

3.3.1
Installation variations
Depending on the model you purchased, the cooktop extractor can
be operated as an exhaust air or a recirculating air version.
Exhaust air
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and expelled
into the open air via a duct system.
The exhaust air must not be expelled into:
T
a smoke or exhaust gas flue that is in operation
T
a shaft used for the aeration of rooms where fireplaces are
installed.
If the exhaust air is to be directed into a smoke or exhaust gas flue
that is not in use, the installation must be checked and approved by
the responsible heating engineer.
If the cooktop extractor is used in an exhaust air system, the
extractor power is automatically increased for the first 20
seconds when set on a lower power level (wall sleeve
function).
Recirculation
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and an activated
charcoal filter and fed back into the room in which the appliance is
installed.
To prevent odours in recirculation mode, an odour filter must be
used. For health and hygiene reasons, the activated charcoal filter
must be replaced at the recommended intervals (see"7Cleaning and
maintenance").
In recirculation mode, ensure sufficient ventilation and
aeration to expel humidity.
If the cooktop extractor is used in a recirculating air system,
when a power level is set the operating time is automatically
deducted from the recirculation filter service life. The
remaining filter service life can be seen in the menu.

How the induction cooktops work
Induction cooking zones heat the cookware via a magnetic field. The
pot base is heated directly. The cooking zone is only heated
indirectly. Cooking zones featuring induction technology only work
with suitable cooking cookware (magnetisable base). Only the surface
that is covered by the pot base will be heated.
Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results in the very quick
heating up of cookware. In order to avoid burning food, slight
adjustment is needed in comparison to conventional cooking systems
when selecting the power level.
Activity Power level
Melting butter and chocolate, breaking up gelatine
Keeping sauces and soups warm, soaking rice
-
Cooking potatoes, pasta, soups and ragouts,
steaming fruit, vegetables and fish, defrosting food
-
Frying in coated pans, moderate frying (without
overheating the fat) of pork cutlets or fish
-
Heating up fat, browning meat, cooking thickened
sauces and soups, making omelettes
-
Cooking large amounts of liquids, grilling steaks
and heating water
Heating up water
Tab.3.5
Recommendations for power levels
The specifications provided in the table are standard values.
Depending on the cookware and filling quantity, it is recommended to
either decrease or increase the power level.
The heating and heat-through times and cooking results are
significantly influenced by the structure and material of the
cookware.
Suitable cookware
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for induction cooktops.
Suitable cookware is made of:
T
stainless steel with a magnetisable base
T
enamelled steel
T
cast iron
u
Observe the minimum cookware base diameter:
Appliance Cooking zone Minimum cookware base

PKI3 Front 120 mm
Back 90 mm
PKFI3 Front 120 mm
Back 120 mm
PKIW3 Wok 210mm
Tab.3.6
Minimum cookware diameter
u
Perform a magnet test, if necessary. If a magnet sticks to the base
of the utensils, they are normally induction compatible.
u
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly onto the
glass ceramic.
u
The induction wok (HIW1) is ideal for the Induction wok cooktop
and is available as an accessory.
Noises
When operating induction cooktops, noises may occur due to
material and processing of the cookware (humming, crackling,
whistling, clicking or buzzing).
3.4.4
How the Hyper and HiLight
cooktops work
Under the cooking zone is a radiant heating element with a heating
tape. When the cooking zone is switched on, the heating tape generates
radiant heat, which radiates to the cooking zone and heats it up.

How the Tepan stainless steel grill
works
Under each grilling zone there is a heating element. When a grilling
zone is switched on, the heating element generates heat that directly
heats the grill surface.

How the gas cooktop works
If a cooking zone is switched on, the 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.
The cooktop has automatic ignition.
Power levels
The power is adjusted using power levels 1 – 9 and P. The output of
gas cooktops means that food is heated quickly. In order to avoid
burning food, slight adjustment is needed in comparison to
conventional cooking systems when selecting the power level.
Activity Power level
Keeping cooked meals warm
-
Browning chopped vegetables, fried eggs, veal,

Tab.3.10
Recommendations for power levels
The specifications provided in the table are standard values.
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.

Pan diameters
The heating and heat-through times for the cookware base, 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.
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.
Cookware with an uneven base may tip over. A slight wobble
can never be completely ruled out.
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 damage.

extractor
5.3.1
General operating instructions for
the cooktop extractor
Both cooktop extractor functions and system functions can be
operated using the cooktop extractor control knob.
The cooktop extractor must only be operated with BORA
cooktops.
The cooktop extractor must only be operated when the
grease filter components are installed.
Recommendations for efficient vapour extraction
u
In the case of tall cooking pots, place the lid on at an angle so that
the cooking vapours are guided towards the cooktop extractor.
u
Only operate the cooktop extractor at the minimum power level
required for effective vapour extraction. This enables you to
improve the performance of the odour filters in recirculation mode.
u
Only operate the hob at the minimum power level required for
cooking. This reduces the cooking vapours and the power
consumption.
u
Avoid strong drafts.
Restricted functions when using the cooktops without a

Special operating instructions for
the Tepan stainless steel grill
Initial operation:
u
Heat the griddle to 220°C for approx. 25 minutes before using it
for the first time (= power level 8 for both grilling zones).
T
Bothersome odours may be emitted during this process.
Operating instructions:
u
Clean the grill surface before using the appliance for the first time
(see"7Cleaning and maintenance").
u
Preheat the grilling zone for 5 minutes before it is used each time.
T
During heating or cooling the griddle may make some noise. This is
a normal occurrence.
T
A fan is built in to the Tepan stainless steel grill for cooling,
guaranteeing a long service life for the electronic components and
rapid cooling of the grill surface. Different measures have been
taken to keep noise to a minimum, but it cannot be completely
avoided.
T
During use, the griddle may show signs of curvature.
T
During grilling or heating on a high power level, the griddle may
adopt a light brown colour.
5.5.3
Special operating instructions for
the gas cooktop
When operating the cooktop for the first time or after a
prolonged period without use or when the liquid gas bottles
have been changed, it is possible that the burner may not
ignite. This may be due to air in the gas pipe or the electronic
gas regulator may need recalibrating. Follow the initial
operation instructions (see “Installation instructions”).
In the case of the gas cooktop, due to the use of enamelled
cast iron parts, slight colour variations and irregularities are
common. Furthermore, flash rust may appear at the support
points, which can be easily removed with a damp cloth. These
spots are normal and are not considered an impairment.
As a result of use, some of the components of the gas
cooktop can become discoloured. This discolouration is
normal and does not have a negative effect on the gas flame
or the functioning of the cooktop.
When using the gas burner, you may hear gas escaping from
it. The burner flame turns orange as a result of prolonged
operation and/or impurities on the burner and in the ambient
air (dust). These properties are normal and can occur
independently of one another.
In the event of smoke or fire while operating the gas cooktop,
turn off the gas supply and switch off the appliance at the wall
socket.
If you smell gas or have problems with the gas installation,
switch off the gas supply. Open the window and ensure good
ventilation.
Operating instructions:
The use of a gas cooktop results in the formation of heat and
moisture in the area where it is installed. Intensive use of the
appliance for a long time may require additional ventilation, e.g.
opening a window or more effective ventilation, e.g. operation of the
mechanical ventilation device at a higher power level.
u
Ensure sufficient ventilation.
u
Keep natural ventilation openings open.
u
Use a mechanical ventilation device if possible.
u
Do not put cookware with an uneven base on the pan support.
u
Never heat empty cookware.
u
Always place the cookware on the pan support provided. Cookware
must not be placed directly on the burner.
u
Do not use roasters, pans or stone grills that are so large that they
cover several burners. The resulting heat accumulation can
damage the cooktop.
u
Ensure that the burner parts and pan supports are positioned
correctly.
u
Do not switch the gas cooktop on until all burner parts are
correctly assembled.
u
Ensure that the burner flame does not protrude from under the
base of the cookware and rise up the outside of the pot.
u
Do not keep any highly flammable objects near the cooktop.
Only use cookware with a diameter that is within the given
dimensions. If the diameter is too large, the hot gases and
flames flowing outwards from under the base may damage
the worktop or any non-heat-resistant surfaces, e.g. walls
with panelling, as well as parts of the cooktop and the
cooktop extractor. Bora shall not be held liable for any such
damage.
Do not use the gas cooktop without cookware for extended
periods of time (>5 min) with the cooktop extractor switched
on. This results in very high temperatures and may damage
the gas cooktop and air-channelling components of the
cooktop extractor.
The tips of the flames should remain under the base of the
pot. Protruding flame tips emit heat into the air unnecessarily
and can damage pan handles and air-channelling components
(cooktop extractor) and increase the risk of burns.
Furthermore, the outer part of the gas flame is much hotter
than the core.

Functions and operation
EN
28 bora.com
Protect your hands when the appliance is hot by using oven
gloves or pot holders. Only use dry gloves or pot holders. Wet
or damp fabrics conduct heat more easily and can cause
steam burns. Ensure that these fabrics do not get too close to
the flames. Do not use oversized pot holders, tea towels or
similar.
Grease splashes and other flammable (food) residues on the
cooktop can catch fire. Remove them as soon as possible.
For maximum performance with minimum gas
consumption, we recommend that you:
u
use cookware with a base that covers the flame entirely so that
this does not burn beyond the base;
u
use suitable pans on each gas burner;
u
position the cookware centrally on the gas hob;
u
set the gas burner to the lowest power level (small flame) once the
pan contents are simmering;
u
adjust the power level of the cooktop extractor to the power level
of the gas cooktop.
Using the gas cooktop with a cooktop extractor:
If the gas cooktop is used together with a cooktop extractor, the
airflow of the extractor can affect the gas flame.
u
Avoid using a high power level on the cooktop extractor when the
gas cooktop is set to a low power level.
u
If necessary, reduce the power level on the cooktop extractor
when you turn on the gas cooktop.
u
Do not use the gas cooktop without cookware. The gas flame is
protected from the airflow of the cooktop extractor by the
geometry of the pan supports and the cookware.
u
If necessary, reduce the power level on the cooktop extractor to
improve heat input or distribution.
Flames can set fire to or damage the grease filter in the
cooktop extractor and the air-channelling components. Never
flambé food when using a cooktop extractor.
The performance characteristics of the gas cooktop (e.g.
heating times, efficiency, etc.) are affected by the cooktop
extractor. The cooktop extractor also affects the heat input
and distribution.
In recirculation mode the recirculated air affects the gas
cooktop. If the gas flame goes out, is excessively affected by
the extractor and/or the flame is not as it should be (e.g. soot
production, flame blowback, etc.), the return flow aperture
must be enlarged.

characteristic curves
You can select the characteristic curves for the gas burners here. The
characteristic curves regulate the minimum gas burner power values.
The minimum power levels are adjusted using the characteristic
curves. Depending on the installation situation and the influence of
the cooktop extractor, if necessary, the characteristic curve can be
changed.
Characteristic curve A:
A enables the fine tuning of the power values, which can only be
adjusted in the best-case scenario and only in the case of natural gas
(G20, G25, G25.3). The best-case scenario is when:
T
no cooktop extractor is in operation; or
T
the cooktop, when using the cooktop extractor in exhaust air
mode, is used with sufficient ventilation; or
T
the cooktop, when using the cooktop extractor in recirculation
mode is used with a sufficient return flow aperture and the cooktop
extractor does not have a negative influence on the gas flame.
Characteristic curve B:
B is the factory default characteristic curve with balanced adjustment
of the individual power levels.
Characteristic curve C:
C increases the lower power levels and should only be used in the
event of a negative influence from the cooktop extractor.
