General

• WARNING: this appliance and the accessible parts will become hot during use. Do not touch hot parts. Keep children younger than 8 away from the appliance unless they are under continuous supervision.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and over, as well as by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised and instructed in the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved.
• The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from failure to follow the safety instructions and warnings.
• The hob is only to be used for the preparation of food. The unit is not designed for heating rooms.
• Never open the casing of the appliance.
• Do not warm closed tins on the hob. There will be a build-up of pressure that will cause tins to explode. You might get injured or scalded.
• WARNING: danger of fire: never leave anything on the hob.
• WARNING: cooking with fat or oil on a hob without supervision can be dangerous and can lead to fire. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the appliance off and then cover the flames with for example a lid or a fire blanket.
• The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.
• Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance may accidentally be switched on or still be hot, which means objects could melt, become hot or catch fire.
• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire. Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the hob.
• Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a “new smell”. Don’t worry, this is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated, the smell will soon disappear.

Safe use

• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use.
• Keep all natural ventilation openings open.
• When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is necessary. For example, open a window or install an electric fan.
• Never flambé under a cooker hood. The high flames can cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.
• The burner components are hot during and immediately after use.
• Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat resistant materials.
• Never immerse hot burner caps and pan supports in cold water. The rapid cooling can damage the enamel.
• The distance between the pan and a knob or non-heat resistant wall should always be greater than two centimetres. In case of smaller distances the high temperature may cause the knobs or wall to discolour and/or deform.
  • Always use the pan supports and suitable cookware.
  • Always place the pan on the pan support.
• Placing the pan directly on the burner cap can result in dangerous situations.

• Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They can burn into the burner caps and pan supports.

• The hob can only function effectively if the burner components have been assembled using the guide ridges. Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other and flat at on the drip tray. Only then can the pans be positioned stably.

• Keep oven gloves or oven cloths away from the flame.

Children

• Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Do not allow children to clean or maintain the appliance unless supervised.
• Do not keep objects that children might find interesting in cupboards above or behind the appliance.
• The cooking zones/burners heat up during use and stay hot for a while afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during and immediately after cooking.

Flame failure device

Your gas hob has a flame failure device. This ensures that the gas supply is shut off if the flame goes out during cooking.

Operating the thermal flame failure device

Press the control knob and turn it anti-clockwise. Hold the control knob pressed (in the high setting) for approximately 3 seconds after the burner has ignited. The flame failure device switches on.

COMFORTABLE COOKING

Optimal use of the hob

Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan. If flames play around the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In addition, the handles can get too hot. Do not use pans with a base diameter less than 12 cm. Smaller pans will not be stable.

• When frying, stir-frying, heating through large quantities and deepfrying it is best to use the rapid or wok burner.
  • Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the simmer burner. On its high setting this burner is large enough for cooking food right through.
• Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
• Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand stably and pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively to the food.

Wrong

Right

Wokburner (type Hg1664s, 1774s/a and Hg1984s/a)

With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature. For this purpose it is important:

• to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking;
• to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut oil when stir-frying. A small quantity is enough. Butter and margarine on the other hand will burn because of the high heat;
- to place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan fi rst, so that at the end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked al dente at the same time.

Use of the auxiliary support

Hg1774s/HG1774a/Hg1984s/Hg1984a

• The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner or available as an accessory provides additional stability in case of a wok with a round base.
• The auxiliary support for the wok has special recesses so it can be positioned neatly on top of the standard wok pan support.

Hg1664s

• The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner or available as an
• accessory provides additional stability in case of a wok with a fl at base.

MAINTENANCE

General

Your appliance has been manufactured from high-grade materials, which are easy for you to clean.

• Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents over-cooked food being able to become ingrained and cause stubborn stains that are difficult to remove. Use a mild cleaning agent.
• Clean the control knobs, burners and pan supports fi rst and then the stainless steel drip tray. This avoids the stainless steel drip tray getting dirty again during cleaning.
• Clean the spark plugs preferably with a cloth. Do this carefully, the spark plug can become defective. The sparkplug will only operate correctly in a dry environment. If the plug is very dirty, you may clean the point with a tiny brush.
• Set the pan supports down vertically, without sliding them over the stainless steel drip tray.
• Place the pan supports back in the right order. The text 'FRONT' at the bottom of all pan supports helps positioning these parts (see Hg1654/1774/1984).

Stubborn stains on enamel

- Remove with a non-abrasive cream. Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleansing agents.

Stubborn stains on stainless steel

• If spilled, acid fluids and sugary foodstuffs like red cabbage, beetroot, soy sauce, applesauce and rhubarb may cause the surface to discolour. Stubborn stains on stainless steel are best removed with a cleaning agent for stainless steel. Always polish in the direction of the steel structure to avoid shine spots. (This kind of damage is not covered by the warranty!)
• If the above methods do not remove the stains, clean the plate with a special cleaning agent for stainless steel. Remember to treat the entire drip tray in order to avoid discolouring. Also, as a follow-up treat the drip tray with a polish or maintenance agent for stainless steel. Please note that over the years the surface will slightly discolour.

Cleaning the pan support

- The enamel on the pan supports is suitable for cleaning by dishwasher. However, the connection with the rubber feet is not. Therefore do not clean the pan supports in the dishwasher. Moreover, the pan supports might show some discoloration if they were washed in the dishwasher. If the rubber feet are lost, the pan support is likely to damage the drip tray.

Brass wok burner parts

- A few parts of the work burner are made from brass. It is normal for the colour of the brass to change as a result of the high temperatures that occur when cooking with a wok.

Cleaning removable burner components

• The removable burner components (including wok) are best cleaned with a mild cleaning product and a soft cloth. In the case of obstinate stains you can soak the parts in hot suds.
• Burner parts should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The parts may be damaged by the dishwasher detergent!
• Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleansing agents.

Cleaning removable knobs

- If the knobs are very dirty, you can remove them temporarily to clean them. The knobs are best cleaned with a mild cleaning product and a soft cloth. Wearing rubber gloves makes it easier to remove the knob!

ATTENTION!

Avoid an excess of moisture around the knob holes when cleaning.

Keradur® burner bases

- The burner bases have a unique Keradur® surface coating. The special dirt-repelling lacquer has a ceramic fi lling which makes cleaning easier and substantially improves the durability of the burners. The burner bases are best cleaned with a mild cleaning product and a soft cloth.
