What you should pay attention to Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use ■ Keep natural ventilation openings open. ■ When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is necessary. Open a window for instance or install a mechanical fan. Use the hob only for preparing dishes ■ The appliance is not suitable for space heating. Never flambé under an extractor hood ■ The high flames can cause a fire, even if the fan is switched off. The burner parts are hot during and immediately after use ■ Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat-resistant materials. ■ Never immerse hot burner parts in cold water. The rapid cooling can damage the enamel. The distance from the pan to a knob or non-heat-resistant wall should always be greater than two centimetres ■ In the case of smaller distances the high temperature may cause the knobs or wall to discolour and/or distort. Always use the pan supports and suitable cooking utensils ■ Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly on the burner head can result in dangerous situations. ■ Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They can become burnt into the burners and pan supports. Installing burner parts and pan supports ■ The hob can only function effectively if the burner parts have been assembled using the guide ridges. ■ Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other and flat on the spillage well. Only then can the pans be positioned stably. Igniting and adjusting Each burner can be adjusted continuously between the full and low positions. GKB410 While keeping the knob of the burner held in, turn the knob to the left and light the burner with a match.

Flame failure device (GKB416/478/GKB478W) The flame failure device ensures that the gas supply is closed if the flame goes out during the cooking process. Hold the control knob pressed in in the full position for approximately 5 seconds. The flame failure device will switch on. 0-setting low setting full setting 0-setting low setting full setting51 maintenance

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 deep-frying it is better to use the strong 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. For all other dishes use the normal burners. ■ 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. Wok burner 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 first, so that at the end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked al dente at the same time. General Your appliance has been manufactured from high-grade materials, which are easy for you to clean. ■ Burner parts should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The parts may be damaged by the dishwasher detergent! Do not use too much water as this can penetrate into the burner or ventilation openings. ■ Clean the spark plugs preferably with a cloth. Do this carefully. If too much pressure is applied, the distance from the point of the sparkplug to the burner may change, causing the burner to ignite poorly or not at all. 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 spillage well. ■ Assemble the burner parts using the guide ridges. ■ 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 first and then the spillage well. This avoids the hob getting dirty again during cleaning.53 environmental aspects Disposal of packaging and appliance In the manufacturing of this appliance use has been made of durable materials. At the end of its lifecycle this appliance must be disposed of in a responsible manner. The authorities can advise you on this. The appliance packaging is recyclable. The following may have been used: ■ cardboard; ■ paper; ■ polythene film (PE); ■ CFC-free polystyrene (PS hard foam); ■ polypropylene tape (PP). Dispose of these materials in a responsible manner and in accordance with government regulations.

maintenance General Stubborn stains on enamel (pan supports, burner caps, spillage wells) Remove with a non-abrasive cream or a soft sponge. Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleansing agents. Stubborn stains on stainless steel (spillage wells) In particular boiled over red cabbage, red beetroot, soysauce, rhubarb and other foodstuffs with a high sugar content and acidic liquids can cause discoloration of the surface. If you want to remove stubborn stains from stainless steel, you can best use a cleaning agent specially formulated for stainless steel. In that case, always clean in the direction of the structure of the steel in order to avoid shiny spots. (Damage resulting from this are not covered by the warranty!) If the stains cannot be removed using the method described above, you can clean the hob with HG oven and grill cleaner. Bear in mind, however, that you will have to clean the whole of the spillage well in order to avoid differences in 'colour'. You must also treat the spillage well afterwards with a polish or maintenance product for stainless steel. It is normal for the surface to discolour somewhat during the product's lifetime.55 installation instructions Gasconnection RC 1/2˝ (ISO 7/1-RC 1/2) Please note: The type of gas and the country for which the appliance has been designed are indicated on the ratings plate. The gas connection must comply with national and local regulations. Amongst other things these regulations instruct that: – only approved materials are to be used; – only a completely metal hose may be used behind a built-in oven and beneath the hob. ■ We recommend that the hob be connected by means of a fixed pipe. Connection using a specially designed safety hose is also permitted. In all cases the connection tap for the appliance must be positioned such that it is easily accessible, in an adjacent kitchen cupboard, for example. ■ The safety hose must not get kinks in it or get trapped and must not come into contact with moving parts of the kitchen furniture. ■ Before using the appliance for the first time check the connections using water and washing-up liquid to ensure that there are no gas leaks.

installation instructions General The fitting of the appliance should only be carried out by a registered Corgi gas fitter. Please note: ■ This appliance is not connected to a flue duct. Take care to ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. ■ Do not install a hob next to a high cupboard or wall made of flammable material. (If there is no alternative, ensure that there is a minimal distance of 100 mm between the outer edge of the hob and the wall in question. Also ensure that there is a minimum distance of 650 mm between the hob and any overhead extractor fan which may be installed.) Electrical connection (solely for appliances with a spark switch) Electrical connection: 230 V - 50 Hz. This appliance complies the regulations concerning electromagnetic compatibility in directive 89/336/EEC. ■ The electrical connection must comply with national and local regulations. ■ Wall socket and plug must be accessible at all times. ■ If you want to make a fixed connection, ensure that a multi-pole switch with a distance between contacts of 3 mm is installed in the supply cable. Please note: ■ This appliance must be earthed. ■ If the connection cable becomes damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer’s service department or by a person with equivalent qualifications, in order to prevent dangerous situations from arising.57
