ciently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall cook-
ing time, including the size and amount
of food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container.
Some foods may contain microorgan-
isms which are only destroyed by
thorough cooking, therefore when cook-
ing or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, se-
lect a longer cooking or reheating time.
Make sure that there is a minimum
distance of 5/8" (15 mm) between
the pot or pan and the control panel.
Never place a pot on the control panel.
It is essential to ensure that food
has been evenly and sufficiently
heated. To check that it is thoroughly
cooked, turn or stir during cooking if
necessary.
When using an electrical plug near
the cooktop, care should be taken
to ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not fall into the flames.
Note that potential hazards may
exist with overhead cabinets.
If high settings are used, remain
near the cooktop in case grease
should splatter or liquids boil over,
which may cause smoking.

Burner
Burner
Before using for the first time, take
heed of the “Warning and Safety
Instructions”.
/ Simmer setting (inner ring on low,
outer ring off)
The gas flame is lit by electrical ignition.
When the burner control is pressed in the
strong flame position, a spark passes from
the electrode to the burner and ignites the
gas to give a flame (see page 11).
Burner control
The inner and outer burner are both
controlled by one knob.
The burner is equipped with an ignition
safety device. If a gas flame goes out, for
example, if food boiled over, or if there
was a sudden draft, the ignition safety
control cuts off the supply of gas in a
maximum of 90 seconds.
The burner control knob may only
be turned counter-clockwise and
back in a clockwise direction. Other-
wise the control could be damaged.
Instructions for using the gas

counter-clockwise to the high setting
(largest flame symbol).
When the flame ignites, keep the
button pressed in for 5-10 seconds,
and then press down once more
firmly before letting go.
To turn the heat up from the lowest to
the highest setting, turn the control
clockwise until it stops (intermediate
stage & b), press and continue to
turn clockwise to the high setting.
If the flame goes out, repeat the proce-
dure, keeping the control knob pressed
in for a few extra seconds.
To switch the burner off, turn the con-
trol knob in a clockwise direction to
the “l“ position. The flame will go out.
Power cut
If there is an interruption to the electri-
cal supply, the gas can be ignited with
a match.
Light a match, press in the burner con-
trol and turn counter-clockwise to the
highest setting (large flame).
With the control knob pressed in, ignite
the gas at the burner with a match.
If, after several attempts the gas still
does not burn, check whether the lug
of the large burner cap is correctly posi-
tioned in the notch in the large burner
cap base and whether the lug of the
large burner cap base is correctly posi-
tioned in the notch in the burner base.
Keep the control knob pressed in for
a further 5-10 seconds, and then
press firmly down once again before
letting go.
Important:
Only woks/pans with a max.
diameter of 280 mm (11") should be
used on the gas cooktop.
Turn the control knob to the highest
setting for boiling or searing food,
the lower setting for continuing cook-
ing and for keeping food warm.
If woks/pans have a larger
diameter, the flame may spread out
to the sides of the wok or the pan
and damage or burn the countertop
or surrounding units.
Turn the control knob down to a lower
setting in good time in order to prevent
food from boiling over or burning.

overheating in places, as better dis-
tribution of heat is possible.
Never place a pan on the control
panel.
Shape of woks, pots and pans
Using a small one on the strong flame
does not mean faster cooking but sim-
ply results in wasteful gas consump-
tion. The correct procedure is to cook
with small pots on the low flame and
large ones on the strong flame.
The outer part of the gas flame is much
hotter than the center. Therefore the
tips of the flame should be in contact
with the base of the pan and not
spread out to the sides. Flames which
spread out to the sides of the pan
merely warm up the air in the room.
small pots = low flame
large pots = strong flame
Suitable woks, pots and pans
Material
Most woks and pans can be used for
cooking on gas.
Wok / Pan base
Wide, flat pots are more suitable than
narrow, tall ones, since they heat up
more quickly.
Bases do not need to be even for gas
cooking, in contrast to those used on
electric burners. Through the spread-
ing action of the flame, heat reaches all
parts of the base.
Lids
Thin bases conduct heat to the food in-
side more quickly than thicker ones.
Since heat is not evenly distributed
over the pan base, there is a danger
that food may be overheated in places.
Therefore, when using saucepans with
thin bases, stir the food more often.
Less heat is lost by cooking in a
covered pot.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning and care
In the event of a pan boiling over, clean
the burner and the cooktop surface im-
mediately, to prevent the boiled over
substance from burning on.
Burner
The burner can be dismantled for
cleaning when cold.
Burner caps
The burner caps can be cleaned with a
solution of dishwashing liquid.
Do not use any caustic cleaners,
scouring powders, knives or hard
brushes, as these will cause scrat-
ches.
Important: The burner must be cor-
rectly fitted together before it is lit,
otherwise the ignition device could
be damaged.
With time and use, the surface of the
burner caps will become dull.
When fitting the large burner cap base
to the burner base, ensure that the lo-
cating lug fits exactly into the appropri-
ate notch.
Electronic ignition
The ignition device electrodes on
the burner must always be dry,
otherwise they will not spark.
Place the burner ring onto the large bur-
ner cap base.
Place the large burner cap onto the
large burner cap base, ensuring that
the locating lug fits exactly into the ap-
propriate notch.
From time to time, the electrodes
should be wiped with a well wrung-out
cloth and wiped dry with a clean cloth.
Important: Do not damage the igni-
tion electrodes and the thermo
element.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning and care
Wok/pan support, trivet
Do not use any scouring agents or
pads, knives or hard brushes.
These will cause scratching.
Caution: the wok/pan support and
trivet become hot in use.
Do not use cleaning agents contain-
ing acids. A proprietary cleaning
agent for stainless steel can be
used on the stainless steel cooktop
surface.
The wok/pan support and trivet can be
removed for cleaning.
The wok/pan support and trivet can be
cleaned in a hot solution of dishwash-
ing liquid.
Never use scouring agents as these
could scratch the surface.
Control panel / Control knob
Do not use any scouring agents or
pads on the knob or control panel,
as these could cause damage.
Dry with a cloth.
Cooktop surface
Clean the control knob and the control
panel with hot water and a little dish-
washing liquid.
After application, rub dry with a clean
cloth.
Avoid allowing liquids or foods con-
taining salt to spill on to the stain-
less steel cooktop. Should this hap-
pen, wipe up any spillages
immediately.
Otherwise discoloration could occur.
Remove dust, oils and fats, spillages of
foods and condensed water from pots
and pans immediately to prevent it from
drying on. Dried on food residues are
easier to remove if they are first soft-
ened with warm water.
Under no circumstances use a
steam-cleaning appliance to clean
the gas cooktop. The steam could
penetrate to live components and
cause a short circuit.
Clean the cooktop surface using hot
water with a little dishwashing liquid.

with a separate shut-off valve and a
gas pressure regulator.
Any pipe connections must be
made using a thread sealant ap-
proved for gas connections.
Failure to correctly install these
items could lead to a gas leak and
subsequent explosion.
Both shut-off valve and pressure
regulator must be easily accessible
to the consumer.
This appliance and its individual
shut-off valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply during
any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2
PSI (3.5 kPa). This appliance must
be isolated from the gas supply pip-
ing system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 PSI (3.5 kPa).
For convenience, an approved type of
flexible stainless steel gas pipe
(accordion type) may be installed
between the adapter and the regulator.
This will allow the unit to be lifted for
cleaning or servicing. Ensure that any
drawers, cabinet doors, etc. do not rub
on the gas pipe.
