Operation

The markings on the control knob show the setting from
level 1 to 12 and simmering
Notes
‒ Only light a burner if the pan support 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 underneath the pan
support.
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 cooking level.
The burner lights automatically.
The cooking level can be set by slowly turning the
control knob.
Notes
‒ When using large pots or pans you should ignite
the burner on a low cooking level.
‒ When being switched on, a short sound may be
heard when the electronics of the gas hob opens
the gas supply valve. This is a normal condition.
‒ Every time the gas hob is switched on, the
electronics runs an auto test. The electrode fires
and the burner ignites after a few seconds.
‒ The cooktop cannot be used during a power failure.

Simmering

The burner switches the flame on and off when
simmering. You can use simmering for example to melt
chocolate or prepare delicate sauces.
Turn the control knob to
on / switching off is approx. 30 seconds.
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), the gas supply is
switched off. The luminous disc behind the control knob
flashes.
Turn the control knob to the OFF position. 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).

Switching off

Fully turn the control knob to the OFF position. The
electronics of the appliance switches the gas supply off.
m
Risk of burns!
When the appliance cover is closed, heat will
accumulate. Only close the appliance cover when the
appliance has cooled down. Never switch the appliance
on with the appliance cover closed. Do not rest food on
the appliance cover or use it to keep food warm.

Residual heat indicator

The luminous disc behind the control knob flashes after
switching off, to indicate that the appliance has still not
cooled down to such an extent that it can be touched
safely.

Safety shut-off

For your protection the appliance features safety shut-
off. The appliance switches off automatically if it has
been operating for an extended period of time. The time
until switching off depends on the setting (level 12 =
1 hour, level 1 = 4 hours). The luminous disc behind the
control knob flashes.
Turn all control knobs to 0. Then you can operate the
appliance again normally.
