Functions and operation
www.bora.com
i
As a result of use, some of the components of the gas
cooktop can become discoloured. This discolouration is
normal and does not have a negative effect on the gas
flame or the functioning of the cooktop.
i
When using the gas burner, you may hear gas escaping
from it. The burner flame turns orange as a result of
impurities on the burner and in the ambient air (dust).
These properties are normal and can occur independently
of one another.
i
In the event of smoke or fire while operating the gas
cooktop, turn off the gas supply and switch off the
appliance at the wall socket.
i
If you smell gas or have problems with the gas
installation, switch off the gas supply. Open the window
and ensure good ventilation.
The use of a gas cooktop results in the formation of heat and
moisture in the area where it is installed. Intensive use of the
appliance for a long time may require additional ventilation, e.g.
opening a window or more effective ventilation, e.g. operation of
the mechanical ventilation device at a higher power level.

Use a mechanical ventilation device if possible.
Correct use of the gas hob
i
Do not use the gas cooktop without cookware for
extended periods of time (> 5 min) with the cooktop
extractor switched on. This results in very high
temperatures and may damage the gas cooktop and air-
channelling components of the cooktop extractor.
i
The tips of the flames should remain under the base
of the pot. Protruding flame tips emit heat into the air
unnecessarily and can damage pan handles and air-
channelling components (cooktop extractor) and increase
the risk of burns. Furthermore, the outer part of the gas
flame is much hotter than the core.
i
Protect your hands when the appliance is hot by using
oven gloves or pot holders. Only use dry gloves or pot
holders. Wet or damp fabrics conduct heat more easily
and can cause steam burns. Ensure that these fabrics do
not get too close to the flames. Do not use oversized pot
holders, tea towels or similar.
i
Grease splashes and other flammable (food) residues
on the cooktop can catch fire. Remove them as soon as
possible.

Do not put cookware with an uneven base on the pan support.

Never heat empty cookware.

Always place the cookware on the pan support provided.
Cookware must not be placed directly on the burner.

Do not use roasters, pans or stone grills that are so large that
they cover several burners. The resulting heat accumulation
can damage the cooktop.
i
If all connected appliances are switched off (= power
level 0), the whole system is automatically switched off
after 10 seconds.

7.3 Operating the cooktops
i
The full range of functions is only available for BORA
Professional 3.0 system cooktops in combination with the
cooktop extractors PKA3/PKA3AB and PKAS3/PKAS3AB.
i
Clean the cooking zones before using the cooktop for the
first time (see the Cleaning chapter).
7.3.1 General operating instructions for cooktops
Cooktops are operated with 2 control knobs.
There are 9 power levels, an optional power setting and various
functions available for each cooking zone.
Each cooking zone has its own control knob. The front cooking
zone is controlled using the left-hand knob and the rear cooking
zone with the right-hand knob.

7.3.2 Special operating instructions for gas
cooktop PKG3
i
When operating the cooktop for the first time or after
a prolonged period without use or when the liquid gas
bottles have been changed, it is possible that the burner
may not ignite. This may be due to air in the gas pipe
or the electronic gas regulator may need recalibrating.
Follow the initial operation instructions (see the “Initial
operation” chapter).
i
Due to the use of enamelled cast iron parts, slight colour
variations and irregularities are common. Furthermore,
flash rust may appear at the support points, which can
be easily removed with a damp cloth. These spots are
normal and are not considered an impairment.
