Gas cooktop

Control knob Wok burner control knob

The markings show the position of the corresponding burner and the setting between high and low heat. The flame setting is infinitely variable between high and low.

Turning the wok burner control knob beyond the middle flame symbol activates the outer flame ring.

Accessories

As standard, your appliance comes with the following accessories:

Wok ring (647660)

For using a wok pan on the wok burner.

Special accessories

You can order the following special accessories from our after-sales service or on our website:

Wok pan (WP 400 001)

Multi-layer material wok pan, with curved base and handle, 036cm 6 liters volume,10 cm high.

• Coffee maker support (088903)

Only use the coffee maker support on the economy burner with cooking vessels no more than 9cm in diameter (e.g. coffee maker).

• Simmering plate (648786)

Only use the simmering plate on the economy burner. This accessory has been designed to reduce the heat at the lowest power setting (low heat).

Place the simmering plate on the pan support with the cones facing upwards, never directly on the burner. Centre the pan over the simmering plate.

Only use the accessories as specified. The manufacturer accepts no liability if these accessories are used incorrectly.

Operation

The markings on the control knobs show the position of the corresponding burner and the setting between high and low heat. The flame setting is infinitely variable between high and low heat.

Notes

• Only light a burner if all pan supports and burner parts are properly assembled.
• Make sure the burners and ignition sparkers are clean and dry.
  Only use the recommended accessories. Do not cover the stainless steel cooktop base (e.g. with aluminium foil).

Switching on automatically

Your cooktop features ignition sparkers for automatic ignition.

1 Place a suitable pot or pan on the corresponding cooking position.

2 Fully press down the corresponding control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the required position. The burner lights automatically.
3 Keep the control knob pressed for a few seconds after ignition.

The flame size can be set continuously between high and low by slowly turning the control knob.

Switching on manually

During a power cut you can ignite the burners manually.

1 Place a suitable pot or pan on the chosen burner.
2 Press the corresponding control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the required setting. Keep the control knob pressed.
3 Use a gas lighter or a match to ignite the burner. Keep the control knob pressed for a few seconds after ignition.

Switching off

Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the OFF position.

Thermoelectric flame monitoring

For your safety, this cooktop features thermoelectric flame monitoring. This prevents gas escaping, if a burner accidentally goes off during use (for example from a draught).

Should a burner accidentally go off during use, turn the control knob to the OFF position and wait at least 30 seconds before re-igniting the burner.

Tips for cooking and roasting

The values given in the settings table must be looked upon as recommended values. The heat required depends not only on the type and condition of the food, but also the size and contents of the pot.

Due to the high performance of the cooktop, fat and oil will heat up quickly. Never leave the cooktop unattended, fat can ignite, food can burn.

Preferably use the rear cooking zones to prepare meals, that need longer to cook.

Preferably use the high output burners or the wok burner for brief cooking, deep fat frying and searing of large quantities.

Cooking in the wok

Note

Always place the wok ring on the pan support above the wok burner when cooking in a wok. Make sure that the wok is positioned safely on the wok ring while cooking.

We recommend using a round-bottom wok. You can order a high-quality wok pan as a special accessory (WP 400 001).

Only use oil that is suitable for frying at high temperatures, for example peanut oil.

Fry the food quickly on a high heat while stirring continuously. Vegetables should stay crispy.

Use a heat resistant, flat ladle with a long handle to stir the food and take it out of the wok pan.

Cookware recommendations

The following tips can help you save energy and avoid damage to your cookware.

Precautions for use

Use pots or pans which are the right size for each burner.

Do not use small pots or pans on large burners. The flame should not touch the sides of the pot.

Do not use damaged pots or pans, which do not sit evenly on the cooktop, they may tip over.

Only use pots or 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 pot or pan over the burner, otherwise it could tip over.

Do not place large pots on the burners near the control knobs. These may get damaged by the high temperatures.

Place the pots or pans on the pan support, never directly on the burner.

Make sure that the pan supports and burner caps are correctly positioned before using the appliance.

Pots or pans should be placed on the cooktop carefully.

Do not strike the cooktop and do not place excessive weight on it.
