Frequently Asked Questions - HG311MF30IL Atag

How to ignite a burner?

Turn the control knob gently to the ignition zone, press down for about 5 seconds until the burner ignites. If ignition fails, check that the cap is correctly positioned and that the burner is dry and clean.

What to do if the burner does not ignite despite sparks?

Clean the spark plug and burner, ensure the cap is correctly positioned and the burner is dry. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

How does the warming zone work?

Press the touch key for one second; the red indicator lights up. The zone turns off automatically after two hours. To stop it manually, press the key again.

What pan diameters are suitable?

For gas burners, use pans with a diameter of 12 to 28 cm. For the warming zone, the diameter matters little thanks to thermal conductivity.

How to clean the hob?

Clean daily with a mild cleaning product. For stubborn stains, use a special ceramic glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive powders and rough sponges. Remove acidic foods such as red cabbage or rhubarb immediately.

What to do if the warming zone indicator blinks?

This is normal after two hours of operation: the zone has turned off automatically. Press the touch key for one second to turn off the indicator. If an object is on the key, remove it then press.

Is the thermocouple reliable?

Yes, it cuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out. To test, blow out the flame and wait one minute: no gas should come out. If the burner relights with a match, contact after-sales service.

Can I use the hob for anything other than cooking?

No, the appliance is designed only for food preparation. Do not use it to heat the room or for flambéing under a hood.

How to maintain the burners?

Clean the caps and bases regularly with warm water and mild soap. Never immerse the caps in cold water to avoid damaging the enamel. Dry thoroughly before reassembling.

What to do in case of persistent failure?

Consult the fault table in the manual: check the cleanliness of the burners, correct installation of the caps, and the gas type. If the problem persists, contact a certified installer or Atag after-sales service.

your gas hob introduction

your gas hob contents

This Atag gas hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. The generous separation of the burners makes for comfortable working. In addition, the gas hob has been equipped with an electrical warming zone.

On this warming zone, food which is not going to be eaten immediately can be kept warm. Food which is kept warm for longer than half an hour, however, will lose some of its quality. Cooling it and then heating it up again is a better option.

The output of the warming zone is sufficient for preparing "sensitive" dishes, such as melting chocolate or preparing a zabaglione, a foamy sauce thickened with eggs.

safety

what you should pay attention to

general

The use of gas cooking appliances releases heat and moisture into the room in which the appliance is fitted. Take care that the room is sufficiently ventilated; keep natural ventilation openings open or install a mechanical ventilator (extractor hood).

If the hob is in use for a long time, extra ventilation may be necessary - for example, an open window, or a higher setting for the ventilator (extractor hood).

during use

This cooking appliance has been designed for domestic use. Only use it for preparing foods.

Do not use the appliance to heat the kitchen. This will cause the atmosphere to become damp.

Flambéing under an extractor hood is not permitted. The high flames can cause a fire, even when the extractor hood is switched off.

The appliance is hot during and after use. Bear this in mind if young children come anywhere near the appliance. Do not leave young children alone near a hot cooking appliance.

flame protection

This appliance is fitted with a thermocouple. This is a thermoelectric protection system. It ensures that the gas tap is closed if the flame goes out.

It is important that you check regularly whether or not this protection system is working properly.

testing

1. Blow out the flame and wait for one minute. The gas tap now closes, and no more gas should come out of the burner.

2. Hold a lighted match next to the burner. The burner should not ignite now. If it does, you should contact the service department immediately.

attention!

The distance between a pan and a wall that is not heat-resistant should be greater than 2 cm. If the pan is any closer, it may cause the wall to discolour or deform.

Do not use the appliance if the glass top is broken or cracked. Phone the service department.

igniting

1. Carefully turn the control knob to the ignition zone.
2. Press the control knob and keep it pressed for about 5 seconds.
   The burner ignites.
3. Once the burner has ignited, turn the control knob further to the position required.

If the burner does not ignite, check whether:

– the cap is on the burner properly;
– the burner is clean and dry.

adjusting

The burner is continuously adjustable between the high and low settings.

attention!

You can only ignite the burner in the ignition zone.

switching on

Press the touch control for one second (see illustration). The red indicator light comes on. The warming zone switches on.

switching off

The warming zone switches off automatically after two hours.

Press the touch control and the red indicator light goes out. The warming zone switches off.

comfortable cooking

burners

fast burner

Sautéing and frying, deep-frying and blanching, boiling large quantities and stir-frying are best done on the fast burner. This has the highest output. Pay attention to the diameter of the pan, however. A diameter of between 16 and 28cm is best, although a pan of 12cm also fits on this burner.

normal burner

The normal burner is highly suitable for stewing and steaming, boiling average-size portions (about four people) and making a roux.

Pay attention to the diameter of the pan, however. A diameter of between 16 and 28cm is best, although a pan of 12cm also fits on the burner.

simmer 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.

comfortable cooking pans

maintenance cleaning

diameter

Use pans of the correct size.

Use pans with a maximum size of 28 cm for the simmer, fast and normal burners. Do not use pans with a base diameter of less than 12 cm. Smaller pans are not very stable; larger pans can result in walls becoming too hot.

The tips of the flames are the hottest. If the flames play around the pan, a lot of heat is wasted. To make the most efficient use of gas, you should use a pan with a large diameter.

wrong right

lid

Cook with a lid on the pan. You will make energy savings of up to 50%.

warming zone

Although the warming zone has a diameter of 13 cm, you can place a pan of any size on it. In general, pans conduct heat so well that the diameter of the pan is less important for keeping the food warm.

Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents food that has boiled over from affecting the hob over a period of time and causing stubborn stains that are hard to remove.

First clean the control knobs, burners and pan supports and only then the glass top. This prevents the top from becoming dirty again while you are cleaning.

daily

For daily cleaning of your gas hob, it is best to use a mild cleaning agent. Do not use too much liquid, since this could get into the burner or ventilation openings.

stubborn stains

A liquid cleaning agent is best for removing stubborn stains. Never use scouring powders, abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads. Clean the glass top with a special cleaning agent for ceramic hobs. Water marks and lime deposits are most easily removed using vinegar.

attention!

Remove food remains that have boiled over immediately, particularly red cabbage, apple sauce and rhubarb. If these remains are allowed to affect the hob over a period of time, they can cause discoloration.

Never immerse hot burner caps in cold water. The rapid cooling can damage the enamel.
