Operation

The markings show the position of the corresponding
burner and the setting between high and low heat. The
flame setting is infinitely variable between high and low
heat.
Notes
‒ Only light a burner if all pan supports and burner
parts are properly assembled.
‒ Make sure the burners and electrodes are clean
and dry.
‒ Only use the recommended accessories. Do not
cover the stainless steel cooktop base (e.g. with
aluminium foil).
‒ Do not cover the air inlet at the back of the cooktop.
Caution!
Heat damage to the extractor hood: Always switch on
the extractor hood while the gas cooktop is in use.
When using several cooking positions select a higher
fan level on the extractor hood. Make sure there is a
sufficient ventilation of the room.

Switching on

Your cooktop features automatic fast ignition.
1 Place a suitable pot or pan on the corresponding
cooking position.
2 Press down the corresponding control knob and
turn it anticlockwise to the required position. The
burner lights automatically.
The flame size can be set continuously between high
and low by slowly turning the control knob.
Notes
‒ When using large pots or pans you should ignite
the burner in the low position.
‒ Every time the gas hob is switched on, the
electronics run an auto test. All electrodes fire and
the required burner ignites after a few seconds.
When switching on further burners, only the
corresponding electrode fires.
‒ When being switched on, a short sound may be
heard when the electronic of the gas hob opens the
gas supply valve. This is a normal condition.
‒ The cooktop cannot be used during a power failure.

Operation indicator

The operation indicator next to the control knob comes
on, if the burner is switched on and the flame burns
correctly. If a malfunction occurs the operation indicator
will flash.
Electronic flame detection and
automatic re-ignition
For your safety the cooktop features electronic flame
monitoring. Should the flame go out during operation
(e.g. because of a draught), the appliance will
automatically re-ignite the burner.
Should the re-ignition be unsuccessful (e.g. burner is
soiled by spilled over food or liquid), all burners are
switched off, the indicator lights of the burners that
were switched on flash.
Turn all control knobs to the OFF position. The flashing
indicator lights will go out except for the affected
burner. This indicator will continue to flash for a few
seconds.
After the appliance has cooled down sufficiently, check
this burner to see if all the burner parts have been
assembled correctly. Check if the burner or the
electrode has been soiled (see trouble shooting guide).
Note: If a malfunction occurs on one burner, you can
continue using the remaining burners, however, you
must turn all control knobs to the off-position first,
before recommencing.
Please note when switching on the cold appliance on
the HIGH setting:
Depending on the gas type and pressure, it is possible
that the electrode continues to fire, although there is a
flame visible, and then switches off. Turn all control
knobs to the OFF position. Then turn the control knob
for the required cooking position to any setting except
the high position and leave to warm up for 30 to 60
seconds. Then you can continue to use your appliance
as usual.

Switching off

Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the
OFF position.
The electronics of the appliance will switch the gas
supply off, if all control knobs are in the off position.
