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.

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.

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.

thermocouple lignition sparker

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.

Power levels

The progressive control knobs can be used to control the power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

Setting	●	Control knob off
High flame	▲	Maximum capacity or aperture and electricity on
Low flame	▲	Minimum capacity or aperture

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.

kg

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 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.
