4.2.1 How gas cooktop PKG3 works
If a cooking zone is switched on, the flame generates heat,
which directly heats the base of the cookware. The gas flame
is controlled by a highly accurate electronic gas control system
(e-gas system). Among other things, servomotors are used to
accurately control each gas burner. These servomotors calibrate
themselves from time to time and typical humming noises
can be heard that are totally normal and do not constitute a
malfunction.
The advantage of this electronic gas control system is the
optimum, repeatable heat regulation, which means that the
selected power levels are identical in every cooking session. In
addition, a clean, constantly increasing flame is formed at every
power level. Furthermore, if necessary, it can be automatically
reignited. This control ensures that the numerous operating
functions of the cooktop can be adjusted using the control
knobs. The power is controlled via power levels 1–9 and P.
Power levels
The power output of gas cooktops results in food being heated
quickly. In order to avoid burning food, slight adjustment is
needed in comparison to conventional cooking systems when
selecting the power level.

The heating and heat-through times for the cookware
base, as well as the cooking results, are significantly
influenced by the structure and material of the cookware.
Cookware with a thick base ensures more even heat
distribution. In the case of a thin base there is a risk of
the food becoming overheated in places. The cooktop
may also become damaged.
i
Take special care not to overheat the cookware. The base
may become deformed. For this reason, you should never
heat cookware when empty.
i
Cookware with an uneven base may tip over. A slight
wobble can never be completely ruled out.
