Using the cooktop  
Turning on  
Turning on in the event of a power  
failure  
,Do not leave the appliance  
unattended whilst it is being used.  
If there is a power loss, you can ignite  
the flame manually, e.g. with a match.  
^ Press the burner control knob and  
turn it to the left to the largest flame  
symbol.  
^ To light the burner, press the  
corresponding burner control knob  
and turn it to the left to the largest  
flame symbol.  
^ Keep the knob pressed and ignite  
the escaping gas-air mixture with a  
match.  
Pressing a burner control knob  
automatically generates a spark at all  
burners on the cooktop. This is  
normal and does not indicate a faulty  
appliance.  
^ Keep the knob pressed for a further  
approx. 8 - 10 seconds and then  
release it.  
^ When a flame is visible, keep the  
burner control knob pressed for 8 -  
10 seconds, then release it.  
^ If the flame goes out prematurely,  
turn the burner control knob to "ß ".  
Wait at least 1 minute before  
attempting to reignite. You may have  
to keep the burner control knob  
pressed a little longer.  
^ If the burner does not ignite even at  
the second attempt, turn the burner  
control knob to "ß " and read the  
chapter on "Frequently asked  
questions".  
13  
Using the cooktop  
Regulating  
The inner and outer burners of the  
double-insert super burner are both  
controlled by one control knob. There is  
a stop at the 6 o’clock position that  
requires you to press the knob down  
while turning it in order to get from the  
high flame to the low flame zone.  
The flame should be regulated so that it  
never protrudes beyond the pot. Since  
the outer part of the gas flame is much  
hotter than the center of the flame, the  
flame tips should remain under the  
base of the pot. Protruding flame tips  
^ To reduce the flames from a high to a give off unnecessary heat into the air

knob counterclockwise until

resistance is felt. Press the knob  
down until you pass the stop, and  
release the pressure and set the  
cooktop the desired setting.  
The burner can be continuously  
regulated between the highest and  
lowest flame. Exception: double-insert  
super burner.  
^ To increase the flames from a low to  
a high setting, turn the burner control  
knob clockwise until resistance is felt.  
Press the knob down until you pass  
the stop, and release the pressure  
and set the cooktop the desired  
setting.  
Turning off  
^ Turn the burner control knob  
clockwise to "ß ".  
The gas supply is stopped and the  
flame goes out.  
Do not turn the burner control knob  
clockwise beyond "ß ".

Cookware  
Pan size  
Pan placement  
– Select the cookware to match the  
burner:  
– Always place the cookware on the  
grate. The cookware must not be  
placed directly on the burner.  
large diameter = large burner  
small diameter = small burner.  
– Position the cookware on the grate  
so that it cannot tip over. A minimum  
amount of wobbling can never be  
completely ruled out.  
– Using oversized pans may cause the  
flames to spread out and damage  
the surrounding countertop or other  
countertop appliances. The proper  
pan size will also improve efficiency.  
Wok ring  
– Pots with a smaller diameter than the  
grate(s) and pots that do not sit  
securely (without wobbling) are  
hazardous and should not be used.  
Suitable pans  
Unlike pans used on an electric  
cooktop, the bases do not need to  
be even for good results.  
For added stability, especially for wok  
pans with round bases, use the wok  
ring (supplied).  
– When buying pots and pans, keep in  
mind that it is generally not the base  
diameter but the upper diameter  
which is specified.  
Make sure the wok ring is properly in  
place, so that it won't move around.  
(See illustration.)  
– Only use heat-resistant cookware.  
Trivet  
– Thick pan bases will give more even  
results, as hot spots are reduced due  
to better heat distribution.  
The trivet must be used on the  
double-insert super burner, if using  
– very small cookware. Prevents it from  
tipping over.  
Thin pan bases will conduct the heat  
faster but not as evenly as thick pan  
bases. Stir the food frequently to  
prevent burning.  
– very large cookware. Using the insert  
will prevent the flames from  
spreading, causing the cooktop to  
discolor and the surrounding  
countertop to be damaged.  
– Do not use pots or pans with  
edge-supported bases. between the  
burner and the base of the wok pan  
above it.  
15  
Energy saving tips  
– If possible, cook in covered pots or  
pans. This prevents unnecessary  
heat loss.  
– Cook with less water.  
– The cooking time can be significantly  
reduced by using a pressure cooker.  
– After cooking or frying, promptly set  
to a lower flame.  
– Generally, wide / shallow pans will  
heat quicker and cook more evenly  
than narrow / tall ones.  
16  
Safety feature  
Ignition safety control  
The appliance is equipped with an  
Ignition safety control. This control cuts  
the gas supply if the flame goes out,  
e.g. from a boilover or a draft. Any  
further escape of gas is prevented.  
^ To reignite the burner knob clockwise  
to "ß " and then turn it on as usual.  
The Ignition safety control works  
independently of the power supply. It is  
active if the appliance is in use during a  
power failure.  
17  
Cleaning and care  
To better maintain your appliance  
avoid the following:  
,Never use a steam cleaner to  
clean this cooktop. Pressurized  
steam could cause permanent  
damage to the surface and to  
components.  
– cleaners containing soda, ammonia,  
thinners, or chlorides,  
– cleaners containing descaling  
agents or lime removers,  
Keep the ignitor in the burner dry. If  
it gets wet it will not spark.  
– stain and rust removers,  
– abrasive cleaners,  
– Clean the appliance after each use.  
Let the appliance cool to a safe  
temperature before cleaning.  
– cleaners containing solvents,  
– dishwasher soap,  
– caustic (oven) cleaners,  
– glass cleaners,  
– Dry your cooktop thoroughly after  
cleaning it to prevent lime deposits.  
– Soak baked or hardened spills.  
– scouring pads, steel wool, hard  
brushes, metal scrapers.  
Remove any soiling immediately!  
Spilled food may discolor the burners  
or the stainless steel.  
– sharp objects  
(they could damage the seals  
between the frame and the  
countertop).  
– The surfaces of the burner parts and  
grates become slightly duller over  
time. This is normal and does not  
indicate any impairment of the  
material.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Installation  
The power cord and a flexible gas  
~
connection line must be attached in  
such a way that they are not in contact  
with moving parts of kitchen elements  
(e.g. a drawer) and are not subject to  
mechanical stress.  
The minimum distances given in  
these Installation instructions are to  
combustible surfaces, and must be  
observed to ensure safe operation.  
Failure to do so increases the risk of  
fire.  
The safety distances listed on the  
~
following pages must be carefully  
maintained.  
The cabinetry and venting hood  
should be installed first to prevent  
damage to the cooktop.  
Never use a sealant unless  
~
expressly stipulated. The sealing tape  
of the appliance ensures adequate  
sealing to the countertop.  
Gas appliances should only be  
~
installed in a well ventilated area.  
This appliance must be installed  
with its own shut off valve and the  
included gas pressure regulator.  
Both the valve and the regulator  
must be easily accessible to the  
consumer after the appliance is  
installed.  
The countertop must be bonded  
~
with heat resistant (212°F/100°C)  
adhesive to prevent distortion or  
dissolving.  
Any wall coverings must be heat  
resistant as well.  
This appliance must not be used in  
~
a non-stationary location (e.g. on a  
ship).  
This appliance must be  
disconnected from the gas supply  
during any pressure testing of the  
system performed in excess of ½  
psi (3.5 kPa). This appliance must  
be isolated at test pressures equal  
to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).  
Deep fat fryers must not be installed  
~
directly next to gas cooktops. Gas  
flames can ignite splattering oil. A  
distance of at least 11 3/4" (300 mm)  
should be maintained between these  
two appliances.  
Any pipe connections must be  
made using a thread sealant  
approved for gas connections.  
Failure to correctly install these  
items could lead to a gas leak and  
subsequent explosion.  
The cooktop must not be installed  
~
over a dishwasher, washer, dryer,  
refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by  
the cooktop may damage the  
appliances.  
Install the appliance so that the  
~
power cord or gas piping does not  
come into contact with any portion of  
the cooktop which may become hot  
during use.  
In Massachusetts installation must  
be performed by a licensed  
plumber/gas fitter.
