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.

Tips for cooking and roasting

The values given in the settings table must be looked

upon as recommended values. The heat required

depends not only on the type and condition of the

food, but also the size and contents of the pot.

Due to the high performance of the cooktop, fat and

oil will heat up quickly. Never leave the cooktop

unattended, fat can ignite, food can burn.

Preferably use the rear cooking zones to prepare

meals, that need longer to cook.

Preferably use the high output burners or the wok

burner for brief cooking, deep fat frying and searing of

large quantities.

Cooking in the wok

We recommend using a round-bottom wok.

Only use oil that is suitable for frying at high

temperatures, for example peanut oil.

Fry the food quickly on a high heat while stirring

continuosly. Vegetables should stay crispy.

Use a heat resistant, flat ladle with a long handle to

stir the food and take it out of the wok pan.
