The ignition process lasts approx.
8 - 10 seconds. The flame should light
within 4 seconds. The Fast-Ignition-
System will click a few seconds after
the flame is lit to ensure the safety
system is activated.
The knob must only be turned left to
turn the appliance on and right to
turn it off.
If the burner does not light, repeat the
process.
If the knob is turned:
- on without pressing it down first,

parts of the cooktop may be
damaged. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for these
damages.
^ Now you can adjust the knob to the
desired setting.
12
Using the cooktop
Regulating the wok burner
The inner and outer burners 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.
^ To reduce the flames from a high to
low setting, turn the control knob
counterclockwise until you feel
resistance. Press the knob down to
pass the stop, then release the
pressure and set the cooktop to the
desired setting.
^ To increase the flames from a low to
high setting, turn the control knob
clockwise until you reach the stop.
Press the knob down to pass the
stop, then release the pressure and
set the cooktop to the desired
setting.
Since the outer portion of the flame is
much hotter than the center, the flame
should be set so that it does not spread
beyond the sides of the pan. Flame tips
which extend beyond the sides of the
pan are hazardous.

cooktop, the bases do not need to be
even for good results.
Thick pan bases will give more even
results, as hot spots are reduced due to
better heat distribution.
Thin pan bases will conduct the heat
faster but not as evenly as thick pan
bases. Stir the food frequently to
prevent burning.
– Generally, wide / shallow pans will
heat quicker and cook more evenly
than narrow / tall ones.
Wok burners
– 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.
You can use a wok on these burners
without any additional rings, trivets, etc.
If you wish to use the wok ring, for extra
stability, attach it as shown (depending
on your grates).
– Do not use small pans with high
flame settings, the flames may climb
the sides of the pan.
– Pots with a smaller diameter than the
pan support and pots that do not sit
securely (without wobbling) are
hazardous and should not be used.
