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.

Open the upper cooker cover. The upper cover must remain
open whilst the cooker is in operation.

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.

setting and the

setting, the flame is not stable. Therefore, always choose a
setting between the large flame

Caution!

within 60
seconds, the gas supply will be cut off.

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.
