Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning and Safety Instructions
Important safety instructions
Store all toys away from the cook-
top to prevent injury to curious or
playful children.
Warning:
When using your cooktop, follow
basic safety precautions including
the following:
Please remember that, in use, bur-
ners and pot racks become hot.
Ensure that children do not touch them.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the cooktop.
Read all instructions before using
the cooktop.
Use the cooktop only for its in-
tended purpose.
Allow sufficient time for the burners
to cool before touching or expos-
ing surface areas to flammable ma-
terials.
Do not use the cooktop unless all
parts are properly in place accord-
ing to the installation and operating in-
structions.
Always cook pork thoroughly to en-
sure that, in the event of trichina,
all bacteria will be killed and the meat
is safe to eat.
Before servicing, disconnect the
power supply by removing the fuse
or tripping the circuit breaker.
If high settings are used, remain
near the cooktop and watch for
splattering grease or boiling over which
may cause smoking.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective ground-
ing system.
It is imperative that this basic safety re-
quirement is met. If there is any doubt,
have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible for damage caused by the lack or
inadequacy of an effective grounding
system.
Never use wet potholders.
Use only cookware suitable for
range-top service. Unsuitable
cookware may break due to sudden
temperature changes.
Do not connect the appliance to the
main electrical supply using an exten-
sion cord. Extension cords do not guaran-
tee the required safety of the appliance.
Never use the cooktop to warm or
heat the room.

Warning and Safety Instructions
Warning and Safety instructions
Important notes for the user
When using a vent hood over a
gas cooktop, make sure that any lit
burners are always covered with a pot
or frying pan. Otherwise, parts of the
vent hood could be damaged by the
heat and / or flames.
Installation and maintenance
should only be performed by a
qualified technician.
For safety reasons, this cooktop
should only be installed as a built-
in appliance.
Note and correct any potential ha-
zards that may exist in regards to
overhead cabinets.
Please remember that the cooktop
may become hot, not only around
the burner, but also around the control
panel. Ensure that small children do not
touch the cooktop when it is being
used.
Do not use the cooktop for space
heating.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future
user.
Never leave the cooktop unat-
tended when cooking with oil or
fat. Overheated oil and fat can catch
fire.
When cooking or boiling in large
pots or pans, ensure that there is a
minimum distance of 2" (50 mm) be-
tween the pot and a heat-sensitive
countertop. After combustion, the hot
gases flow outwards under the base of
the pot and may consequently burn the
edge of the countertop if it is not heat
resistant.
Disposal of an old appliance
Before disposing of an old appli-
ance, ensure that disconnection
from the gas supply is made by a quali-
fied technician. Turn off at the main
power source, and disconnect and
remove the appliance cable. This is in-
tended to prevent the discarded ap-
pliance from becoming a hazard.
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.
Text highlighted in boxes is of par-
ticular importance and should be
read in conjunction with the Warn-
ing and Safety instructions.
When using an electric outlet near
the cooktop, care should be taken
to ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not fall into the flames.

Using the cooktop
Using the cooktop
Each burner is equipped with an igni-
tion safety device. If a gas flame goes
out, for example if food has boiled over
or if there was a sudden draft, the igni-
tion safety control cuts off the supply of
gas.
Before using for the first time thor-
oughly read the “Warning and
Safety instructions”.
Burner controls
The burner controls can only be
turned counter-clockwise as far as
the small flame symbol, otherwise
the controls could be damaged.
Instructions for using the gas
burners
Place the pan on the pan support.
A ring support (trivet) is supplied with
the cooktop. It is designed to rest on
the pan support when using small
pans.
The flame strength can selected as fol-
lows:
X Gas turned off
The ring support should only be used
on a normal (front) burner with a low
flame.
&
High flame
/ Low flame
It should only be used with pans hav-
ing a diameter of less than 4" (10 cm).
The gas flame is lit by electriconic igni-
tion. When the burner control is
pressed, a spark passes from the igni-
tor to the burner and ignites the gas to
give a flame.
Ignoring this advice could result in
damage to the ring support enamel.

Using the cooktop
Using the cooktop
Press in the correct control knob and
Turn the control knob to a low setting to
prevent food from boiling over or burn-
ing.
turn counter-clockwise to the high
setting (large flame symbol).
When the flame ignites, keep the but-
ton pressed in for 5-10 seconds, and
then press down firmly once more
before letting go.
To shut the burner off, turn the con-
trol knob clockwise to the “X“ posi-
tion.
The flame will go out.
If the flame goes out, repeat the proce-
dure, keeping the control knob pressed
in for a few extra seconds.
Power outage
If there is an interruption to the electri-
cal supply, the gas can be ignited with
a match.
Press in and turn the burner control
counter-clockwise to the highest set-
ting, (large flame).
With the control knob pressed in,
ignite the gas at the burner with a
match.
Keep the control knob pressed in for
an additional 5-10 seconds, then
press down firmly once again before
letting go.
Important:
If, after several attempts the gas still
does not ignite, check whether the
knobs of the burner cap are correctly
positioned in the notches of the burner
head.
When using the burners :
Make certain that there is a minimum
distance of 2" (50 mm) between the
pan and heat-sensitive countertops
or surroundings.
Turn the control knob to:

distance of 5/8" (15 mm) between
the pan and the control panel.
Size of pans
Never place a pan on the control
panel.
Using a small pan on the large burner
does not make cooking faster, but sim-
ply results in wasteful gas consump-
tion. The correct procedure is to cook
with small pans on the normal burner
and large ones on the large burner.
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 pans = small burners
large pans = large burners
Suitable pans
Material
Most pans can be used for cooking on
gas.
Pan base
Wide, flat pans are more suitable than
narrow, tall ones, since they heat up
more quickly.
Pan bases do not need to be even for
gas cooking, in contrast to those used
on electric burners. Through the
spreading action of the flame, heat
reaches all parts of the base.
Thin pans conduct heat to the food in-
side more quickly than thick ones.
Since heat is never evenly distributed
over the pan base, there is a danger
that food may overheat in places.
Therefore, when using saucepans with
thin bases, stir the food more often.
Lids
Less heat is lost by cooking in a
covered pot.

Burners
The burners 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 scratch.
With time and use, the surface of the
burner caps will attain a matt finish.
Important: The burners must be cor-
rectly installed before they are lit,
otherwise the ignitor could be dam-
aged.
Burner head
These can be cleaned with a damp
cloth or with a chrome / stainless steel
cleaner.
Pan supports, ring support
Electronic ignition
Caution: the pan supports and the
ring support become hot during use.
The ignitors must always be dry,
otherwise they will not spark.
The pan supports can be removed for
cleaning:
From time to time, the ignitors should
be wiped with a damp cloth and dried
with a clean cloth.
Lift the support at the back and pull
it out of the holders at the front.
