Important safety information

⚠ Warning – Risk of deflagration!

Accumulation of unburned gas in an enclosed area carries a risk of deflagration. Do not subject the appliance to draughts. These might blow out the burners. Carefully read the instructions and warnings on the operation of gas burners.

⚠ Warning – Risk of poisoning!

The kitchen will become hot and humid and combustion products produced when this gas appliance is used. Make sure the kitchen is well ventilated, particularly when the hob is in operation: either keep the natural ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system (extractor hood). Intense prolonged use of the appliance may require additional or more effective ventilation: open a window or increase the power of the ventilation system.

⚠ Warning – Risk of burns!

• The hotplates and their immediate vicinity get very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children under 8 years old well away from this appliance. If the liquefied gas bottle is not upright, liquefied propane/butane can enter the appliance. Intense darting flames may therefore escape from the burners. Components may become damaged and start to leak over time so that gas escapes uncontrollably. Both can cause burns. Always use liquefied gas bottles in an upright position.

⚠ Warning – Risk of fire!

• The hotplates get very hot. Do not rest inflammable objects on the hob. Do not store objects on the hob.
• Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, products which produce fumes, inflammable materials or non-food products below or near this domestic appliance.
• Fat or oil which is overheated can catch fire easily. Never leave fat or oil to heat up unattended. If oil or fats do catch fire, never use water to put the fire out. Put the fire out by covering the pan with a lid and switch off the hotplate.

⚠ Warning – Risk of injuries!

• Pans which are damaged, are not the right size, hang over the edge of the hob or are not positioned correctly can cause serious injuries. Follow the advice and warnings provided relating to the cooking pans. In the event of a malfunction, turn off the appliance's gas and electricity supply. For repairs, call our Technical Assistance Service.
• Do not tamper with the appliance's interior. If necessary, call our Technical Assistance Service. If a control knob is too stiff to turn or it is loose, it must not be used. Contact our after-sales service immediately to have the control knob repaired or replaced.

⚠ Warning – Risk of electric shock!

Do not clean the appliance using steam cleaners.

Getting to know your appliance

You can find your appliance and the burner powers in the model overview. → Page 2

Controls and burners

Each control knob is marked with the burner it controls. You can use the control knobs to set the output required in each case to various positions between the maximum and the minimum settings.

Indicators

Burner controlled by control knob

Switched-off burner

Highest power setting and electric ignition

Lowest power setting

It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan supports are correctly installed for the appliance to work correctly. Do not swap the burner caps around.

Always remove the pan supports carefully. When moving a pan support, the pan supports next to it may also move.

Elements

1 Ignition plug 2 Thermocouple

Elements

3 Burner cup

4 Burner cap

Gas burners

Switching on manually

1. Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the highest power setting.
2. Hold an igniter or a naked flame (such as a lighter or a match) against the burner.

Automatic ignition

If your appliance has automatic ignition (ignition plugs):

1. Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn it anticlockwise to the highest power setting. Sparks are produced on all burners while you are pressing and holding the control knob. The burner ignites.
2. Release the control knob.
3. Turn the control knob to the required position.

If the burner does not ignite, switch it off and repeat the steps described above. This time, hold the control knob down for longer (up to 10 seconds).

Warning – Risk of deflagration!

If the burner does not switch on 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.

Note: It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the ignition plugs are dirty, this may cause ignition faults. Clean the ignition plugs regularly with a small non-metallic brush. Take care to prevent the ignition plugs from suffering any heavy knocks.

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.

Switching off a burner

Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 setting.

A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound (thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means that the safety device is no longer operating.

Warnings

It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is operating.

When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours. This does not pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.

An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.

If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the burner operating control knob and do not try to relight it for at least 1 minute.

Instructions for use

Note: When using certain pots or pans, a slight and temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface may occur. This is normal and does not affect the functionality of the appliance.

The following recommendations can help you save energy and avoid damaging your cookware:

Use pans which are the right size for each burner. Do not use small pans on large burners. The flame must not touch the sides of the pan.

Do not use damaged pans, which do not sit evenly on the hob. Pans may tip over. Only use pans with a thick, flat base.

Do not cook without using a lid and make sure the lid is properly fitted. This wastes energy.

Always centre the pan over the burner, not to one side. Otherwise it could tip over. Do not place large pans on the burners near the control knobs. These may be damaged by the very high temperatures.

Place the pans on the pan supports, never directly on the burner.

Make sure that the pan supports and burner caps are correctly positioned before using the appliance. Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.

Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

Once the appliance is cool, use a sponge to clean it with soap and water.

After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, it will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The holes and grooves must be clean for the flame to ignite properly.

The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports.

Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and scrub with a non-wire brush.

If the pan supports are fitted with rubber rests, ensure that these are also cleaned. The rests may come loose and the pan support may scratch the hob.

Always dry the burners and pan supports completely. Water droplets or damp patches on the hob at the start of cooking may damage the enamel.

After cleaning and drying the burners, make sure the burner caps are correctly positioned on the diffuser.

Caution!

• Do not remove the control elements when cleaning the appliance. The appliance may be damaged if moisture finds its way inside.
• Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob. If your hob is fitted with a glass or aluminium panel, never use a knife, scraper or similar implement to clean the point where it joins the metal.

Maintenance

Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt. This will prevent food remains from sticking to the hob surface and you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.

Due to the high temperatures endured, the wok burner and the stainless steel zones (grease drip tray, burner outline, etc.) can change colour. This is normal. After each use, clean these areas with a product that is suitable for stainless steel.

It is recommended that the cleaning product available from our Technical Assistance Service (code 464524) is used regularly.

Caution!

The stainless steel cleaner must not be used in the area around the controls. The (printed) symbols may be wiped off.

Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.
