Making settings on the hob
Your hob is equipped with four gas burners. The following
information explains how to light the gas burners and set the
size of flame.
Advance cleaning of burner cup and cap
Clean the burner cap (1) and cup (2) with water and washing-
up liquid. Dry the individual parts carefully.
Place the burner cup and cap back on the burner shell (5).
Ensure that the igniter (3) and flame safety pin (4) are not
damaged.
The nozzle (6) must be dry and clean. Always position the
burner cap exactly over the burner cup.
Igniting the gas burners
Always position the burner cap exactly onto the burner cup. The
openings in the burner cup must remain unobstructed at all
times. All parts must be dry.
1.
Open the upper cooker cover. The upper cover must remain
open whilst the cooker is in operation.
2.
Turn the control for the required hotplate anti-clockwise to the
ignition position
8
. This starts the ignition process.
3.
Press and hold the hotplate control for 1-3 seconds. Gas
begins to flow out and the gas burner ignites.
The safety pilot is activated. If the gas flame goes out, the gas
supply is automatically cut off by the safety pilot.
4.
Set the required flame size. Between the Off
þ
setting and the
—
setting, the flame is not stable. Therefore, always choose a
setting between the large flame

If the flame goes out again, repeat the process from step 2.
6.
To finish cooking, turn the hotplate control clockwise to the
Off
þ
position.
The hotplate control should not be turned to the ignition
position for longer than 15 seconds. If the burner does not light
within 15 seconds, wait at least one minute. Then repeat the
ignition process.
:
Caution!
If, after switching the cooker off, you turn the burner control
while the cooker is still hot, gas will escape. If you do not turn
the hotplate control to the ignition position
8
within 60
seconds, the gas supply will be cut off.
The gas burner does not ignite
If there is a power cut or if the ignition plugs are damp, you can
light the gas burners with a gas lighter or a match.
Table – Cooking
Select the right pan size for each hotplate. The diameter of the
pot or pan base should be the same as that of the hotplate.
Cooking times may vary depending on the type of food, its
weight and quality. You yourself can best judge the optimal
cooking time.
Use as little water as possible when cooking, so that the food
retains its vitamins and minerals. Select short cooking times so
that the vegetables remain firm and full of nutrients.
