IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Fire Safety

Save these instructions.

Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:

1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
   4.Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1.SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
3.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.
4.Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

• You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

Gas Safety

To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block appliance air vents.

Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.

For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry.

If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Burning gas cooking fuel generates some byproducts which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

WARNING

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See Warning,

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in use. Each of the feet must be placed into the corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.

Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner does not light even though the electronic ignitors click.

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.

WARNING

Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an extra low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the extra low burner automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner will spark.

WARNING

Cleaning Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel can generate some by-products which are on the list. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this manual and provide good ventilation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde and Soot. To minimize exposure to these substances the burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or agency to ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan or hood when cooking with gas. Always operate the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.

Use Proper Pan Size.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.

Causes of Damage

NOTICE

RISK OF HEAT DAMAGE TO ADJACENT APPLIANCES OR KITCHEN UNITS:

If the appliance is in operation for an extended period, heat and moisture will be generated. Additional ventilation is required. Open the window or switch on an extractor hood that discharges the extracted air and moisture outside the building.

NOTICE

RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE DUE TO THE BUILD-UP OF HEAT:

Do not heat roasters, frying pans or grill stones using more than one burner at a time.

NOTICE

OPERATIONAL FAULT:

Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position when the appliance is not being used.

Environmental protection

The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips and provide information on disposing of your appliance.

Saving energy

• Choose a burner of roughly the same size as your pan. Place the cookware in the middle.
• Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger, less full saucepan requires more energy.
  Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking without a lid consumes significantly more energy. Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan without having to lift the lid.
  Cook with a small amount of water. That saves energy. Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
• Switch to a lower heat setting when possible. As a result, you save energy.

Notes

• Only use the accessories specified. Do not line the stainless steel recess (e.g. with aluminum foil).
• Do not cover the ventilation openings on the back of the control panel.
  The burner and ignition plug must be clean and dry.
  Only light the burner if the pan supports and all burner parts are correctly fitted.
  To ignite the burner, firmly press the control knob down as far as possible and hold it there, then turn it to the required position.
  Once ignited, press and hold the control knob for approx. 2 to 4 seconds to enable the heat sensor that opens the gas flow to heat up first.
  If the flame does not ignite within 2 to 4 seconds, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the lowest setting and, once ignited, turn it back to the highest setting. It can often be quicker to ignite the burner in the lowest setting because different gases have different ignition characteristics.
• Do not touch the ignition plug while the gas appliance is being lit.
  It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the ignition plug is dirty, this may cause ignition problems. Clean the ignition plug regularly with a small, nonmetallic brush. Take care to prevent the ignition plug from suffering any heavy knocks.

Tips for cooking and roasting

The values in the settings table serve as mere guidelines, since more or less heat may be required, depending on the type and condition of the foods, as well as the size and fullness of the pot.

The high output causes grease and oil to heat up quickly. Don't leave food unattended while frying; grease can catch fire and burn the food.

Tips for using a wok

Note: When you cook using a wok, place the wok ring onto the pan support over the wok burner. Make sure that the wok is stable on the wok ring when you are cooking.

We recommend using woks with a domed base. You can order a high-quality wok as an optional accessory (WP 400 001).

When cooking with the wok, use only cooking oil that is suitable for heating to high temperatures, such as peanut oil.

Cook the ingredients at a high heat, while stirring constantly. Do not cook them for too long. The vegetables should be al dente.

For stirring the food and for taking it out of the pan, it is best to use a shallow ladle with a long handle made from a heat-resistant material.

Notes regarding cookware

The following information and tips have been provided to help you save energy and avoid damaging your cookware.

Appropriate Cooking Vessels

Burner Recommended pan base diameter	Minimum pan base diameter
Wok burner 91½"-11¾"(240-300 mm)	6¼" (160 mm)
Use the wok only on the wok ring.

Pans with a diameter of less than 614 (160 mm) or more than 1134 (300 mm) should not be used.

Maintain a distance of at least 2^ (50 mm) between the item of cookware and flammable objects. Maintain a distance of at least 2^ (50 mm) between the control knob or control panel and the pot or pan. The cookware must not touch the control panel or the control knob. The cookware must not protrude over the edge of the cooktop.

Information for Use

Use cooking vessels of appropriate size for the particular burner. Don't use small cooking vessels on large burners. The flame shouldn't come in contact with the sides of the cooking vessel. Don't use any deformed cooking vessels that don't stand solidly on the cooktop. The vessels could tip over. Only use cooking vessels with flat and thick bottoms. Don't cook without a lid or if the lid is not on all the way. The majority of the heat is lost.

Place the cooking vessel in the center of the burner, otherwise it may tip over. Don't place large pots on the burners near the stove controls. They could overheat and become damaged.

Place the pots on the pan supports, never directly onto the burners. Prior to use, ensure that the pan supports and lids of the gas burners are positioned correctly.

Handle vessels carefully on the cooktop. Don't bang the cooktop and don't place any heavy weights on it.

Never heat a cooking vessel (e.g. roasting tin, pan, cooking stone) with multiple burners. The resulting accumulation of heat causes damage to the appliance.
