USER MANUAL M3126N1 NEFF

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. Risk of burns!

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. Risk of fire!

The hotplates get very hot. Do not rest inflammable objects on the hob. Do not store objects on the hob. Risk of fire!

Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, products which produce fumes, inflammable materials or non-food products below or near this domestic appliance. Risk of fire!

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. Risk of injuries!

Accessories The following accessories can be purchased from the Technical Assistance Service: Code The manufacturer accepts no liability if these accessories are not used or are used incorrectly. Possible combinations Gas burners There are indications to show which burner each control knob operates. 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. Switching on a burner Turn the desired burner control knob anticlockwise to the required position. If the burner does not switch on, wait at least a minute until trying again. Safety system All the hotplates have a security device (thermocouple). If the burner is switched off during operation (e.g. due to a draught), the appliance automatically switches on the hotplate again. If relighting is not successful (for example, due to food remains on the burner), the gas supply to this burner is turned off and a warning sound is given. Turn the control knob to 0. Switching off a burner Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 setting. Automatic off After six hours of operation, the appliance switches off automatically. Turn all control knobs to setting 0; the appliance can now be switched on again. Additional wok pan support Only for use on wok burners with pans with a round base. Using these pans may cause some temporary deformation of the grease drip tray. This is normal and does not affect the operation of the appli- ance. Simmer Plate This accessory has been designed to reduce the level of heat at the lowest power setting. Place the accessory directly on the pan support with the cones facing upwards, never directly over the burner. Cen- tre the pan over the acces- sory.

Protection against overheating The hob has a protection against overheating system to protect the electrical installation. This will turn of all burners in case of overheating and will emit a warning sound. Turn all control knobs to setting 0. Wait until the appliance has cooled down sufficiently and turns off. Now you can reconnect the appliance normally. Warnings This appliance will not function if it is not connected to the mains or if the electricity supply is cut off. 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. Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition sparkers are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them periodically using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the ignition sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts. Cooking guidelines Cooking pans Suitable pans Precautions for use The following advice is intended to help you save energy and prevent pan damage: Setting

Maximum capacity or aperture and electricity on Low flame

Minimum capacity or aperture Burner Very high - High Medium Low Wok burner Boiling, steam- ing, griddling, toasting, paellas, Asian food (wok). Reheating and keeping things hot: cooked and pre- cooked dishes Rapid burner Escalopes, steaks, ome- lettes, frying Rice, white sauce, ragout Steaming: fish, vegeta- bles Semi-rapid burner Steamed pota- toes, fresh vege- tables, vegetable stews, pasta Reheating, keeping things hot and making tasty casse- roles Auxiliary burner Cooking: casse- roles, rice pud- ding, caramel Defrosting and slow cooking: veg- etables, fruit and frozen products Melting: but- ter, choco- late, jelly Burner Minimum pan diameter Maximum pan diameter Wok burner 22 cm - cm Rapid burner 22 cm 26 cm Semi-rapid burner 12 cm 20 cm Auxiliary burner 10 cm 12 cm 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.13 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 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. Trouble shooting Sometimes certain faults detected can be easily resolved. Before calling the Technical Assistance Service, bear in mind the following advice: Fault Possible cause Solution The general electrical sys- tem is malfunctioning. Defective fuse. Check the fuse in the main fuse box and change it if it is damaged. The automatic safety switch or circuit breaker has tripped. Check the main control panel to see if the auto- matic safety switch or circuit breaker has tripped. The automatic switching on function does not work. There may be food or cleaning products stuck between the ignition sparkers and the burners. The space between the ignition sparker and the burner must be clean. The burners are wet. Dry the burner caps carefully. The burner caps are not correctly positioned. Check that the burner caps are correctly posi- tioned. The appliance is not earthed, is poorly connected or the earthing is faulty. Contact the installation technician. The burner flame is not uni- form. The burner components are not correctly posi- tioned. Correctly place the parts on the appropriate burner. The grooves on the burner are dirty. Clean the grooves on the burner. The gas flow is not normal or there is no gas. The gas supply is blocked by gas taps. Open all gas taps. If the gas is supplied from a gas cylinder, check that it is not empty. Change the gas cylinder. The kitchen smells of gas. A gas tap has been left on. Turn off the taps. Incorrect coupling of gas cylinder. Check that the coupling is sound. Possible gas leak. Shut off the gas supply, ventilate the premises and immediately notify an authorised installation tech- nician to check and certify the installation. Do not use the appliance until ensuring that there is no gas leak in the installation or appliance itself. A burner switches off and a beep sounds. The safety system has been activated, cutting off the gas supply. Turn the burner control knob to the off position. The beep will stop. You can now use your hob normally.14 Technical Assistance Service When contacting our Technical Assistance Service, please provide the product number (E-Nr.) and production number (FD) of the appliance.
