Frequently Asked Questions - TE1416X BRANDT

How to light a burner?

Press the electronic ignition button while turning the burner knob to the maximum position. Keep pressure until the burner lights. In case of a power outage, use a match.

Why does my burner not ignite?

Check the electrical connection, cleanliness of spark plugs, and assembly of burners. Ensure gas supply is open and the cylinder is not empty. If the injector is blocked, clean it with a safety pin.

How to adjust the low flame?

After a gas change, adjust the low flame screw located under the knob. For butane/propane gas, screw the brass screw fully in; for natural gas, unscrew it 2 turns. Then adjust so that the flame holds at low without going out.

What types of pots to use on gas burners?

Use flat-bottomed pots with diameter suitable for the burner (e.g., large rapid: 18-28 cm). Avoid concave or convex bottoms, and never leave an empty pot on the fire.

How to maintain gas burners?

Regularly clean the heads, caps, and grates with a non-abrasive cream and sponge. Use a small stiff bristle brush for spark plugs. If the injector is blocked, unblock it with a safety pin.

The electric plate stays hot after use, is this normal?

Yes, the electric plate retains heat for a while after switching off. Do not touch it to avoid burns. The power indicator light goes off but the area remains hot.

How to change the gas of my hob?

Replace the injectors with those suitable for the new gas (provided in the pouch), adjust the gas connection, and set the low flame screws. Refer to the injector identification table in the manual.

What is the total power of the hob?

For the 4 gas burner model, total power is about 7.65 kW (natural gas). For the 3+1 model with electric plate, it is 6.15 kW (gas) plus 1.5 kW electric.

Can I use a steam cleaner to clean the hob?

No, using a steam cleaning appliance is prohibited. Use soft cloths, non-abrasive creams, and soapy water.

What if a knob becomes difficult to turn?

Do not force it. Contact a qualified installer or after-sales service immediately. This may indicate a problem with the tap.

- GAS CONNECTION

Preliminary comments

If your hob is installed above an oven or if proximity to other heating elements poses a threat of overheating the connection, you absolutely must insulate the cable in a rigid pipe. If a hose or soft pipe (in the case of butane gas) is used, it should not come into contact with a moving part of the cabinet, nor should it pass through a location that may become blocked.

The gas connection must be installed in compliance with applicable regulations in the country of installation.

Gas distributed by pipe; natural gas,

For your safety, you must choose from the three following connection options:

• Connection with a rigid pipe made from copper and with screw-on mechanical connectors (G1/2 gas standard mark). Make the connection directly to the end of the elbow fitted on the appliance.
• Connection with a flexible metal hose (stainless steel) with screw-on mechanical connectors (compliant with NF D 36-121 standard) whose service life is unlimited (Fig. A).
• Connection with a flexible rubber hose reinforced with screw-on mechanical connectors (compliant with the NF D 36-103 standard) whose service life is 10 years (Fig. B).

Warning

When connecting your hob's gas supply, if you have to change the direction of the elbow fitted on the appliance:

① Change the gasket.

Screw on the elbow's nut, careful not to exceed a torque of 17 N.m.

Gas supplied by cylinder or tank (butane/propane)

For your safety, you must choose from the three following connection options:

• Connection with a rigid pipe made from copper and with screw-on mechanical connectors (G1/2 gas standard mark). Make the connection directly to the end of the elbow fitted on the appliance.
• Connection with a flexible metal hose (stainless steel) with screw-on mechanical connectors (compliant with NF D 36-125 standard) whose service life is unlimited (Fig. 01).
• Connection with a flexible rubber hose reinforced with screw-on mechanical connectors (compliant with the XP D 36-112 standard) whose service life is 10 years (Fig. 02).

In an existing system, a soft pipe fitted with clamps whose service (compliant with the XP D 36-110 standard) whose service life is five years may be used. It is necessary in this case to use an adaptor without forgetting to fit a sealing washer between the adaptor and the hob's elbow. (Fig. 03).

Tip

You can obtain the adaptor and the seal,ger from your After-Sales Service Department.

Warning

Screw on the adaptor with a torque not exceeding 25 N.m.

- Lighting the hob

Each burner is supplied by a tap which can be opened by pressing it and turning it in in a counterclockwise motion.

The "●" point corresponds to closing the tap.

Choose the desired burner by using the symbols located near the knobs (e.g.: Rear right burner ).

To light a burner, press the electronic starter button by turning the knob to the maximum position

Keep pressing the starter button until the burner ignites.

The setting for more moderate flame intensities is between the A and the symbol A.

Tip

• If the flame goes out, reignite

normally following the starter instructions.

• The burner's flames are smaller near the support's indexes to protect the support's enamel.

• The noise made by certain burners is related to their high power and to gas combustion; it does not alter cooking quality.

• In the event of a power cut, approach a match to the open burner.

• Which burner should you use depending on your cookware?

Diameter of the cookware	Burner	Use
18 to 28 cm	Super fast	Frying - Boiling
16 to 28 cm	High-speed	Searing foods
12 to 24 cm	Semi-fast	Sauces - Reheating
	Auxiliary	Gentle simmer

Warning

• Adjust the ring of flames so that they do not extend beyond the edges of the cookware (Fig. 01).

• Do not use cookware with a concave or convex bottom (Fig. 02).

• Do not use cookware that partially covers the knobs (Fig. 03).
• Do not leave a gas burner operating with empty cookware.

Tip

Keep natural ventilation outlets in your home open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical ventilation hood).

Intensive, prolonged use of the appliance may require additional ventilation; you can, for example, open a window or provide more effective ventilation or increase power to the mechanical ventilation, if you have it (a minimum air flow of 2m^3 per kW of gas power is required).

Example: 60 cm - Four gas burners

Total power: 1.5 + 2.25 + 3.1 + 0.85 = 7.7kW 7.7kW × 2 = 15.4m^3/h minimum flow.

- MOST SUITABLE COOKWARE FOR THE ELECTRIC PLATE (depending on model)

Use cookware with flat bottoms that perfectly hug the surface of the burner:

-in stainless steel with a thick, tri metal or "sandwich" bottom",
- in aluminium with a thick (smooth) bottom,
- in enamelled steel.

- POWERING ON THE ELECTRIC PLATE (depending on the model)

Position the knob on the marking that corresponds to the desired cooking method (Fig. 01) (see cooking guide at the end of this guide). The cooking zone's power indicator lights up.

Upon first use, allow the plate to heat up with no cookware at maximum power for three minutes to harden the coating.

Tip

• Use cookware of an appropriate size: the diameter of the bottom should be greater than or equal to the diameter of the electric cooking zone (Fig. 02).

• When cooking is nearly complete, turn the knob to the "O" off position to take advantage of the heat accumulated in the plate.

• Use a lid on your cookware as often as possible to reduce the loss of heat by evaporation.

Warning

Do not operate an electric cooking

zone without cookware (except during initial use) or with an empty pot.

Warning

The electric plate will remain hot for a

certain time after the knob has been turned to the "O" position. Do not touch this zone because there is a risk of burning.

MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE

MAINTENANCE......	WHAT TO DO	PRODUCTS/ACCESSORIES TO BE USED
Of the spark plugs and injectors	In the event that the spark plugs become soiled, clean them using a small, hard-bristled brush (non-metallic). The crucible-shaped gas injector is located in the centre of the burner. Be careful not to obstruct it during cleaning, as this will undermine the performance of your hob. In the event of obstruction, use a safety pin to unclog the injector.	Small, hard-bristled brush. Safety pin
Of the pan supports and gas burners	If tough stains occur, use a non-abrasive cream, then rinse with clean water. Carefully wipe each part of the burner before using your hob again.	Gentle scrubbing cream Cleaning sponge
Of the electric plate	The heating plate is protected by a black coating, so you should avoid using any abrasive products. After each use, wipe it with a thick towel. If the plate shows signs of rusting, remove the rust (with an emery cloth, for example) and restore the black coating with a commercially available high-temperature restorative product.	Commercially available restorative product
