Frequently Asked Questions - TE214XS1 BRANDT

How to light a burner?

Press the knob fully and turn it counterclockwise to the maximum position. Keep the knob pressed until the flame appears. On models with safety, keep it pressed for a few seconds after ignition.

What to do if the burner does not light?

Check the gas supply (cylinder or meter), cleanliness of spark plugs and injectors. Ensure the hob is plugged in. If sparks appear but no flame, the gas hose may be pinched.

How to convert the hob from natural gas to butane/propane?

Use the supplied kit. Replace the injectors (see gas characteristics table), adjust the connection and set the idle screws. Follow the detailed steps in the 'Gas change' chapter of the manual.

What pan diameters to use on each burner?

For the large burner (double ring or large rapid): 20-30 cm; rapid: 18-28 cm; semi-rapid: 16-26 cm; auxiliary: 12-16 cm. The flames should not exceed the bottom of the pan.

How to clean the burners and grates?

Clean after complete cooling. Use a mild scouring cream and a non-abrasive sponge. For clogged injectors, use a safety pin. Dry thoroughly before reuse.

The flame goes out after releasing the knob, why?

On models with safety, keep the knob pressed for 5 to 10 seconds after ignition. Check that the burner head and cap are properly in place. Avoid drafts.

What is the total power of the hob?

For a 4-burner gas hob with large rapid, the total power is about 7.9 kW. The power varies depending on the configuration (double ring or mixed). Check the rating label.

Can I use an electric plate at the same time as the gas burners?

Yes, mixed models (3 gas + 1 electric) allow it. Each burner is controlled independently. Be careful not to overload the electrical circuit (10 A).

How to maintain the electric plate (on mixed models)?

Clean with a greasy cloth after use. In case of rust, use emery cloth then apply a high-temperature renovator. Avoid abrasive products.

Where to find the appliance serial number?

The serial number is on the rating label stuck on the last page of the manual. Keep this manual for after-sales service.

Your hob in complete safety

Using your hob in complete safety

• We have designed your hob for private domestic use.
• With a view to the constant improvement of our products, we reserve the right to make any changes in their technical, functional or aesthetic characteristics as a result of technical evolution.
• These hobs are designed exclusively for the cooking of drinks and foodstuffs.

These products do not contain any asbestos-based component parts.

- Using a gas-powered hob produces both heat and humidity in the room where it is used. Make sure your kitchen is well ventilated:

Keep all natural air-vents open or have a mechanical ventilation system installed (a mechanically ventilated hood) with a minimum airflow of 2m3/hr.

• You must always keep an eye on your cooking.
• Read the instructions before installing and using the apparatus.
• Never leave any CLEANING or INFLAMMABLE products in the cupboard beneath your hob (aerosols or other pressurised cans, papers, recipe books, etc.).

• If you use a drawer under your hob, we advise you not to keep any objects in it that are liable to suffer from heat (plastic, paper, aerosols, etc.).

• Prolonged and intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation; by opening a window for example; or producing more efficient ventilation by increasing the power of the existing mechanical ventilation.

• Disconnect your hob from both electrical and gas supplies before carrying out any maintenance operations.
• If you plug in any electrical appliance near the hob, make sure that its power cable is not in contact with any source of heat.
• For safety reasons, do not forget to close the main gas valve for built in gas lines or the valve on the top of your butane/propane gas cylinder.
• If a knob is difficult to turn, DO NOT FORCE IT. Call up your installer.

This appliance should be installed by a qualified technician / installer.

Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (nature of the gas and gas pressure) and the adjustment conditions of the appliance are compatible.

These hobs are designed to be used by private individuals in their homes. The adjustment conditions are stated on a label in the wallet and also on the packaging.

This appliance must be installed and connected in compliance with the regulations in force, and used only in a well-ventilated area. Consult the instructions before installing and using this appliance.

Since this appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. Particular attention should be given to the relevant requirements regarding ventilation.

On this subject, combustion can take place only if oxygen from the air is present, so this air must be constantly renewed and the combustion products must be evacuated (a minimum air input of 2 m3/hour per kw of gas energy is required).

These hobs have type X protection (in accordance with standard EN 60.335.2.6) against overheating of cupboards and Class 3 for installation itself (in accordance with standard EN 30.1.1).

Carefully look after these instructions, with the information label affixed to the final page, and keep them near your appliance.

Installing your hob in all simplicity

Fitting recommendations (cont'd)

The hob must be built into the work-top of a support cupboard. This work-top must be at least 3 cm thick and heat-resistant or else coated with a heat resistant material.

A side-clearance of at least 30 cm should be left to the right and left of the hob. A tall cupboard or partition too close to the hob would hinder free movement of kitchen utensils. If a horizontal partition is put under the hob, it must be placed between 10 and 15 cm from the bottom of the work top. In any case, do not keep any sprays or pressurized containers in the compartment which could be just under the hob.

To ensure the seal between the hob and the worktop, affix the joint provided in the folder before installing the hob:

1- Remove the pan support grates, the burner caps and heads after checking their position.
2- Turn the hob over and place it gently over the opening in the worktop paying attention not to damage the control knobs and lighters.
3- Stick the foam seal around the outside of the hob.
4- Put the hob back the right way up and place the burners, caps and pan grates back in position.

Fitting recommendations (cont'd)

• Place the hob in position in the cutout on the worktop, pulling it forward as far as possible.
• Put the burners, caps and pan grates in place.
• Connect the hob power supply cable to the electrical installation of the kitchen. (See "Electrical connections").
• Connect to the gas (see "How to connect the hob to mains gas" or "How to connect the hob to butane / propane gas".

If you want, you can fix the hob in position on its four corners, using the four lugs and screws provided (See diagram). Only use the holes provided.

Stop screwing when the lug starts to bend.

Do not use a power screwdriver.

Electrical connections

● Mixed and all-gas hobs

Hobs are delivered with a three-conductor (phase + ground + neutral) H05VVF- T105 or H05V2V2F - T90 1mm section cable, ref. SAV : 77X3767 (6470.1516) and must be connected to a 220/240 V single phase mains supply by the intermediary of a two phase + earth + CEI 60083 standardised neutral plug, or a single pole cut-off device with a contact opening by at least 3mm.

The mains plug must be accessible after installation.

Gas connections

● Preliminary remarks

If the hob is to be installed above an oven or if other nearby heating appliances risk heating and damaging the gas hose then it is essential that a rigid pipe be installed instead. If a flexible hose is used (in the case of butane gas) then it must not be installed in a place where it may be in contact with a moving part of the kitchen unit or a place likely to get cluttered.

- Possible connections

Choose the connection exclusively according to:

- connection with a rigid pipe (gas standard G1/2).

The connection should be made at the end of the elbow seal on the appliance, using the conical connection with the sealing washer provided in the folder.

Note : Screw on the connector with a torque not exceeding 2.5 m/daN (m/kgF).

Whatever means of connections is chosen, make sure that it is gas sound after installation by using soapy-water.

Installing your hob in all simplicity

Gas connections (Cont'd)

- Possible connections

BOTTLED OR TANKED GAS (BUTANE/PROPANE).

For the user's safety, we advise the connection to be made with a rigid pipe if this is possible.

For an existing installation, where it is not possible to fit a reinforced, braided, flexible gas hose, the connection can be made with a flexible gas hose (maximum length 2 metres), with two jubilee clips: one on the connector (fig. B), and the other on the pressure regulator, and a gas proof washer should be fitted between the connector and the elbow seal on the hob.

You will find the sealing washer and the adaptor in the wallet delivered with the unit.

⚠️ Temperatures above 30^ C would cause overheating of the gas hose. To avoid this, check that there are no heat-producing devices nearby.

Screw on the connector with a torque not exceeding 2.5 m/daN (m/kgF).

How to use your gas burners?

● Lighting a hob NOT FITTED WITH A SAFETY DEVICE (depending on model)

- Each burner has its own gas tap which is opened by pressing down on the control knob and then turning it anti-clockwise.

The gas tap is closed when the control knob is in position “●”.

Simple diagram of a computer mouse with directional arrows indicating motion (no text or symbols)

• Choose the gas burner you need using the symbols at the side of each control knob; (E.g. back right-hand burner ⬇).
• Your hob is equipped with an automatic lighting system integrated into each control knob.
• To ignite a burner, press down and turn the knob anti-clockwise until it is pointing to the maximum

position

Keep the knob pressed down. This will trigger off a series of sparks that will light up the burner.
- Adjust the flame to the height your require by turning the control knob between the ∧ and ∧ symbols.
- Adjust the flame to the height your require by turning the control knob between the ⬆ and ⬆ symbols.

● Lighting a hob fitted WITH A SAFETY DEVICE (depending on model)

● The safety system for the burners is a metal rod next to the flame.
- Choose the gas burner you need using the symbols at the side of each control knob;

(E.g. back right-hand burner ⬇).

Simple diagram showing a computer monitor with signal lines and an antenna, no text or symbols present.

• Each burner is controlled by a tap fitted with a safety system, which cuts the gas off automatically if ever the flame goes out by accident (overflowing, drafts, etc.).
• Your hob is equipped with an automatic lighting system integrated into each control knob.
• To ignite a burner, press down and turn the knob anti-clockwise until it is pointing to the maximum

position

- Adjust the flame to the height your require by turning the control knob between the ▲ and ▲ symbols.

To set off the safety system, keep the knob pressed completely down for a few seconds after the flame has lit up.

• If ever your flame goes out, relight it as per normal procedure.
• The flames on the burner are smaller near the grate supports to avoid any damage being done to the enamel.

- The noise made by certain burners is related to their power and burning gas; this does not harm the quality of cooking in any way.

Using your hob in all simplicity

Which pans are best adapted for use on the gas burner?

- Recommended pan sizes:

Extra burner	Extra burner	Medium burner	Small burner
double-crown	Extra-fast	fast	semi-fast	auxiliary
20 to 30 cm	18 to 28 cm	16 to 26 cm	14 to 22 cm	12 to 16 cm

Adjust the flames so that they do not lick up the side of your pan.

Do not use a pan with a convex or concave bottom.

Do not leave the gas on beneath an empty pan.

Do not use pans whose bases or handles may partially cover control knobs.

Some hobs are equipped with a specific "WOK" type support stand, to be used only on the central "Double Crown" ring. This "WOK" type stand allows you to use receptacles with a concave base. Used with the "Double Crown" ring, it allows better heat distribution around large receptacles such as woks and large diameter paella pans.

Illustration of a double boiler with a crossed black symbol indicating resistance or prohibition (no text or symbols present)

Keep all natural air-vents open or have a mechanical ventilation system installed (a mechanically ventilated hood).

- Prolonged, intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation; by opening a window for example or producing more efficient ventilation by increasing the power of the existing mechanical ventilation (a minimum air input of 2m3/hour per kW of gas energy is required.)

E.g. : for a 60 cm hob with 4 gas-rings

Total power: 0,85 + 1,5 + 2,35 + 3,2 = 7,9 kW.

7,9 kW x 2 = 15,8 m ^3 /h per hour minimum flow-rate.

Using your hob in all simplicity

How to use the electric hotplate?

- To heat it up

Turn the knob to the point that corresponds to the cooking you want to do (See cooking table at the end of the instruction booklet). The electric hotplate 'on' light comes on.

The first time you use the electric hot-plate, leave it on for 3 minutes at maximum temperature without using a pan to harden the surface coating.

Which pans are best adapted for use on the electric hotplate?

- Which pans are to be used on the electric hotplate?

Use pans with flat bottoms that are in complete contact with the electric hot-plate surface:

• Stainless steel with a thick trimetal or "sandwich" base,
• Aluminium with a thick (smooth) base,
• Enamelled steel.

Always use a pan of suitable size: the diameter of the pan must be larger than the diameter of the electric hotplate.

Finish off your cooking with the knob turned to (O). This lets you take advantage of the heat that has accumulated in the electric hotplate.

- Whenever possible use a cover on your pans to avoid losing any heat by evaporation.

- Never leave a electric hotplate turned on without a pan or with an empty pan.

- The electric hotplate stays hot for a certain time after it has been switched off in the "O" position.

How to look after your hob?

Keeping your hob in good condition is easy if you clean it before it is completely cold. Even so, never clean it when it is in use. Put all the electric and gas control knobs at zero.

	HOW TO PROCEED	ACCESSORIES TO BE USED
Looking after sparkers and injectors	- If ever the sparkers get dirty, clean them with a stiff non-metallic brush.- The gas injectors are in the centre of each burner in the form of a "pot". Make sure not to block them up partially when cleaning the hob, as this will considerably reduce the performance of your gas-rings.	- Small hard-bristled brush.- Safety pin
Looking after the grills and burners	- Use a non-abrasive cream for removing any persistent stains. Then rinse with clean water. Dry each burner element carefully before re-lighting your hob.	- Non-abrasive cream.- Household sponge.
Looking after the electric hotplate	- The electric hotplate is protected by a black surface coating. Therefore, avoid using any abrasive products. After use, wipe it clean with an oily cloth.- If ever a electric hotplate starts to rust, remove the rust with (with emery paper or similar) and re-coat the electric hotplate with a high-temperature renovating product to be found at your local distributor.	- Renovating product available in the shops.
Looking after enamel or stainless steel.	- Use polishing cream for cleaning the enamel on the hob. Polish with a dry clean cloth.- Never allow any acid liquids such as lemon juice, vinegar, etc. to remain in contact with the enamel.- Use a sponge and soapy water or a standard stainless steel cleaner for cleaning the stainless steel parts on your hob.	- Soft polishing cream.- Standard stainless steel cleaning product

- It is better to clean the elements of your hob by hand, do not put any parts in the dishwasher.

- Never use scouring pads for cleaning your hob.

Minor troubleshooting

You have doubts about whether your hob is working correctly .... this does not necessarily mean there is a breakdown. Nevertheless, check the following points

IF YOU REALIZE THAT

Lighting the burners:

There is no sparking when the control knobs or buttons are pressed down.

When you only press down one control knob all the burners spark.

Sparking takes place but the burners do not light up.

If your table is fitted with a gas safety system and the flames go out as soon as you release the control knob.

In the low position the flames go out or are too high.

Flames are irregular.

The knobs get hot during cooking.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

• Check the electrical connections on the hob.
• Check that the sparkers are clean.
• Check that the burners are clean and in position.
• If the hob is fixed to the worktop, make sure that the fixing clamps have not been twisted.
• Check that the sealing rings have not come out of place.

This is normal. The lighter system is centralised, and all the burners spark at the same time.

• Check that the gas inlet pipe has not been squashed.
• Check that the gas inlet pipe tube is less than 2m long.
• Check that the main gas tap is open.
• If you use gas tanks or cylinders check that they are not empty.
• If you have just installed your hob or changed a gas cylinder, keep the control knob wide open for a few seconds so that the gas can get through.
• Make sure the injector is not blocked up. if this is the case, clear it with a safety pin.

• Light up your gas-ring before putting a pan on it.

• Push the control knob down completely and keep it under pressure for a few seconds after the burner has lit.

• Check that the burner parts are in place.
• Check that the sealing rings under the control knobs have not come out of place.
• Avoid any severe drafts in the room.
• Light the burner before putting your pan on it.

- Avoid any severe drafts in the room.

- Check that the gas you are using corresponds to the injectors that have been installed (See injector identification in the "Gas Rating" chapter).

Remember that gas hobs are delivered preset for use with natural gas. Check the adjustment of the low power screw (See paragraph "Changing the type of gas supply").

• Check that the burners and injectors are clean and assembled correctly.
• Check you have enough gas in your gas cylinders.
  Use small pans on the burners next to the control knobs. Large pans are to be put on the large burners furthest away from the knobs.
  Put the pan in place with the burner in the middle. The pan should not be above the control knobs.
