Safe use
WARNING ‒ Risk of explosion!
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. WHAT
TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS OR IF THERE ARE FAULTS IN THE GAS INSTALLATION

• Immediately shut off the gas supply or close the gas cylinder valve.

• Immediately extinguish all naked flames and cigarettes.

• Do not operate any light switches or appliance switches.

• Do not pull any plugs out of any sockets.

• Do not use any telephones or mobile phones within the building.

• Escaping gas may cause an explosion. Smallamounts of gas can collect over a longerperiod of time and ignite.

• Close the safety valve for the gas supplywhen the appliance is out of use for pro-longed periods.
  Escaping gas may cause an explosion. If theliquefied gas bottle is not upright, liquefiedpropane/butane can enter the appliance. In-tense darting flames may therefore escapefrom the burners. Components may becomedamaged and start to leak over time so thatgas escapes uncontrollably.

• Always use liquefied gas bottles in an up-right position.

WARNING ‒ Risk of poisoning!

• Using the gas cooking appliance leads to abuild-up of heat, moisture and combustionproducts in the room where the appliance isinstalled.
• Ensure that the kitchen is sufficiently ventil-ated, in particular when operating the gascooking appliance.
• If the appliance is used intensively and forprolonged periods, ensure that there is ad-ditional ventilation so that the combustionproducts are safely fed to the outside, e.g.if using existing ventilation equipment, set ahigher performance level and, at the sametime, ensure that the air is replaced withfresh air in the room where the appliance isinstalled.
• Consult specialist personnel when installingadditional ventilation equipment

WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!

• Open a window or switch on an extractor hood lead-ing to the outside

• A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.

• Do not use two burners or heat sources to heat onesingle item of cookware.

• Do not use griddle plates, clay pots, etc. for a longtime at full power A build-up of heat may damage the controls.

• Do not use a large item of cookware on burners that are close to the control knobs.
  If a control knob is in the wrong position, this could lead to malfunctions.

• Always turn the control knob to the “Off” position when the appliance is not being used.
  Handling the cookware roughly may damage the surface of the appliance.

• Handle the cookware on the hob carefully.

Environmental protection and saving energy

Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy.
Choose a burner roughly the same size as your pan.
Centre the cookware on the hob.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the base diameter.

• Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume a lot of energy.
  Cover saucepans with suitable lids.

• Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more energy.
  Lift lids as infrequently as possible.

• When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
  Use a glass lid.

• You can see into the pan through a glass lid without having to lift it.
  Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.

• Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up.
  Cook with only a little water.

• The more water that is contained in the cookware, the more energy is required to heat it up.
  Turn down to a lower power level early on.

• If you use an ongoing power level that is too high, you will waste energy.
  Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be found on the attached appliance pass and online on the product page for your appliance.

Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

• Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

Familiarising yourself with your appliance

Control knob
You can use the control panel to configure all functions of your appliance and to obtain information about the operating status.

Burner
You can find an overview of the parts of the burner here

Pan supports
Insert the pan supports correctly

Place the cookware correctly on the pan supports. Never place the cookware directly on the burner. Always carefully remove the pan supports. When moving a pan support, the pan supports next to it may also move.
Tip: You can remove the metal residue that remains when some items of cookware are moved on the pan support by cleaning it properly.

Basic operation

Igniting a gas burner
The hob has automatic ignition of the burners.

WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
Escaping gas may ignite.

• If the burner does not ignite after 10 seconds, turn
  the control knob to the “Off” position and open the
  door or window in the room. Do not attempt to re-ignite
  the burner for at least one minute.
  ▶ In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
  extinguished, turn off the burner control. Do not attempt
  to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

ATTENTION!
If you turn the control knob directly between position
and 1, malfunctions may occur.

• For this reason, never turn directly from position to position 1 or vice versa.

1. Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn it anti-clockwise to the highest level.
   Keep the control knob pressed in.
   a For all of the burners, sparks are generated and the flame ignites.

2. Wait a few seconds and release the control knob. → “Safety system”, Page 8

3. Turn the control knob to the required position.

4. If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to the off position and repeat the steps described above. This time, hold the control knob down for longer (up to 10 seconds).

Note:
Take the following information into account to ensure that the appliance works correctly:

• The burner parts → Page 7 and the pan supports → Page 7 must be inserted correctly.
• Do not swap the burner caps around.
• It is important to keep the appliance clean. Clean the ignition plugs regularly with a small, non-metallic brush. Take care to prevent the ignition plugs from suffering any heavy knocks.
• The burner holes and grooves must be clean to ensure a correct flame. → “Cleaning the burners”, Page 10

Safety system
The safety system (thermocouple) interrupts the flow of gas if the burners accidentally go out. To ignite the burner, you must activate the system that enables the gas flow.

1. Ignite the burner without releasing the control knob.
   a The flame ignites.

2. Press and hold the control knob for a further four seconds.

Igniting a gas burner manually
In the event of a power cut, you can light the burners manually.

1. Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn it anti-clockwise to the highest level.
2. Hold a lighter or a flame (lighter, match, etc.) against the burner.

Switching off a burner

• Turn the control knob clockwise to ⁠.

Normal behaviour during operation
This behaviour is normal for the appliance:

• Slight hissing noise from the ignited burner.
• Release of odours when using the appliance for the first time. These odours disappear after a short time.
• An orange flame is normal. This is due to dust in the environment, spilled liquids, etc.
• Popping noise a few seconds after the burner is switched off. This is caused by switching on the safety system. → “Safety system”, Page 8
