Frequently Asked Questions - ACT60GX ALTUS

How do I ignite the gas burners?

Push the corresponding knob inward and turn it counterclockwise to the large flame symbol. The spark will ignite the gas. Hold the knob pressed for 3-5 seconds after ignition to engage the flame failure safety device.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Do not use open flames, smoke, or operate electrical switches. Open doors and windows, turn off all gas valves, and leave the property. Call the fire brigade from outside. Do not re-enter until declared safe.

Can I use this cooktop with LPG?

Yes, the cooktop is convertible from Natural Gas to Universal LPG. You must replace all injectors and adjust the bypass screws according to the injector table in the manual. This conversion should be performed by an authorised service agent.

What are the minimum clearance requirements for installation?

Above the hob: at least 750 mm (or 650 mm if a range hood is installed, following hood manufacturer instructions). Side clearances: minimum 200 mm from vertical combustible surfaces unless protected. The worktop must be heat resistant (min. 100°C).

Why is the burner flame uneven or yellow?

Yellow or uneven flames may indicate clogged burner ports or incorrect gas pressure. Clean the burner caps and heads with a soft brush and ensure they are dry. If the problem persists, check gas supply pressure or contact an authorised service agent.

How do I clean the cooktop?

Allow the cooktop to cool completely. Remove burner parts and pan supports. Clean the hob surface with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steam cleaners. Dry thoroughly before reassembly.

What type of pans should I use?

Use flat-bottomed pans that match the burner size. Recommended diameters: Auxiliary burner 12-18 cm, Normal burners 18-20 cm, Wok burner 20-26 cm. Avoid oversized pans as they can cause overheating and carbon monoxide risk.

How do I adjust the low flame setting?

Ignite the burner, turn the knob to the low flame position (small flame symbol), then remove the knob. Use a screwdriver to adjust the bypass screw: turn clockwise to reduce flame height, counterclockwise to increase. The ideal low flame length is 6-7 mm.

What does the flame failure device do?

The flame failure device (thermocouple) automatically shuts off the gas supply if the flame is extinguished (e.g., by liquid overflow). This prevents gas leakage. If the burner does not stay lit after releasing the knob, hold it pressed for 3-5 seconds to engage the device.

What should I do if no ignition spark occurs?

Check that the mains power supply is connected and fuses are intact. Ensure the burner cap and head are properly assembled. If there is still no spark, verify the gas supply is open. If the problem continues, contact an authorised service agent.

4 Preparation

Tips for saving energy

The following information will help you to use your appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:

• Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
• Use pots/pans with cover for cooking. If there is no cover, energy consumption may increase 4 times.
• Select the burner which is suitable for the bottom size of the pot to be used. Always select the correct pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require more energy.

Initial use

First cleaning of the appliance

The surface might get damaged by some detergents or cleaning materials.

Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning powders/creams or any sharp objects during cleaning. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a cloth.

5 How to use the hob

General information about cooking

Never fill the pan with oil more than one third of it. Do not leave the hob unattended when heating oil. Overheated oils bring risk of fire. Never attempt to extinguish a possible fire with water!

When oil catches fire, cover it with a fire blanket or damp cloth. Turn off the hob if it is safe to do so and call the fire department.

• Before frying foods, always dry them well and gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete thawing of frozen foods before frying.
• Do not cover the vessel you use when heating oil.
• Place the pans and saucepans in a manner so that their handles are not over the hob to prevent heating of the handles. Do not place unbalanced and easily tilting vessels on the hob.
• Do not place empty vessels and saucepans on cooking zones that are switched on. They might get damaged.
• Operating a cooking zone without a vessel or saucepan on it will cause damage to the product. Turn off the cooking zones after the cooking is complete.
• As the surface of the product can be hot, do not put plastic and aluminum vessels on it.
  Such vessels should not be used to keep foods either.
• Use flat bottomed saucepans or vessels only.
• Put appropriate amount of food in saucepans and pans. Thus, you will

not have to make any unnecessary cleaning by preventing the dishes from overflowing.

Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on cooking zones.

Place the saucepans in a manner so that they are centered on the cooking zone. When you want to move the saucepan onto another cooking zone, lift and place it onto the cooking zone you want instead of sliding it.

Gas cooking

- Size of the vessel and the flame must match each other. Adjust the gas flames so that they will not extend the bottom of the vessel and center the vessel on saucepan carrier.

Using the hobs

1 Auxiliary burner 12-18 cm
2 Wok burner 20-26 cm
3 Normal burner 18-20 cm
4 Normal burner 18-20 cm is list of advised diameter of pots to be used on related burners.

Do not use cooking pans beyond the dimension limits given above. Using larger pans causes risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of adjacent surfaces and control knobs. Using smaller pans causes your risk of being burned by the flame.

Large flame symbol indicates the highest cooking power and small flame symbol indicates the lowest cooking power. In turned off position (top), gas is not supplied to the burners.

Igniting the gas burners

1. Keep burner knob pressed.
2. Turn it counter clockwise to large flame symbol.
   » Gas is ignited with the spark created.
3. Adjust it to the desired cooking power.

Turning off the gas burners

Turn the keep warm zone knob to off (upper) position.

1. Gas shut off safety

As a counter measure against blow out due to fluid overflows at burners, safety mechanism trips and shuts off the gas.

• Push the knob inwards and turn it counter clockwise to ignite.
  • After the gas ignites, keep the knob pressed for 3-5 seconds more to engage the safety system.
• If the gas does not ignite after you press and release the knob, repeat the same procedure by keeping the knob pressed for 15 seconds.

Release the button if the burner is not ignited within 15 seconds. Wait at least 1 minute before trying again. There is the risk of gas accumulation and explosion!

Wok burner

Wok burners help you to cook faster.

Wok, which is particularly used in Asian kitchen is a kind of deep and flat fry-pan made of sheet metal, which is used to cook minced vegetable and meat at strong flame in a short time.

Since meals are cooked at strong flame and in a very short time in such fry-pans that conduct the heat rapidly and evenly, the nutrition value of the food is preserved and vegetables remain crispy. You can use wok burner for regular saucepans as well.
