Setting the hob
Your hob is equipped with three gas burners and one hotplate.
The following information explains how to light the gas burners
and set the hotplate.
Igniting the gas burners
Always position the burner cap exactly over the burner cup.
Openings on the burner cup are always unobstructed. All parts
must be dry.
1.
Open the top cover. The top cover must remain open for as
long as the oven is in operation.
2.
Turn the switch for the desired burner anticlockwise to the
large flame symbol — .
3.
Press and hold the burner knob and press the ignition button
at the same time. The gas burner ignites.
4.
Press and hold the burner knob for approximately 1-3
seconds. The safety pilot is activated. If the gas flame goes
out, the gas supply is automatically interrupted by the safety
pilot.
5.
Set the desired flame size. Between setting û Off and setting
— , the flame is not stable. Therefore, always choose a setting
between — large and ˜ small flame.
6.
If the flame goes out again, repeat the process from step 2.
7.
To end the cooking process: Turn the burner knob û
clockwise to the Off position.
The ignition device should not be actuated for more than 15
seconds. If the burner does not light within 15 seconds, wait for
at least one minute. Then repeat the ignition process.
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.
Setting procedure for the electric hotplate
You can adjust the heat setting of the hotplates using the
hotplate knobs.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Open the top cover. The top cover must remain open while
the electric hotplate is in operation.
2.
Turn the switch for the electric hotplate anti-clockwise to a
suitable heat setting between 1 and 6.
3.
The electric hotplate is 145 mm in diameter. Use a pan with a
flat base and the same diameter.
4.
Set the electric hotplate switch to 0 to stop cooking.
Heat setting 1 = lowest output
Heat setting 6 = highest output
The indicator lamp lights up when the hotplate is switched on.
Important information about your electric
hotplate
If the diameter of the pot or pan base is not the same as that of
the hotplate or if the pan base is not flat, energy will be used
unnecessarily. Any overflowing liquid will burn on and leave
stains that are difficult to remove.
Make sure that the pot or pan base is dry.
The electric hotplate must not be switched on if there is no pan
on it.
Due to the effects of heat, the metallic hotplate ring will
discolour over time. You can remove this discolouration by
cleaning the hotplate ring using the rough side of a sponge and
a cleaning agent. When cleaning, make sure that the sponge
does not come into contact with the hotplate.
Residual heat will still be present when the hotplate is switched
off. Keep children away from the appliance.
Make sure that the rotary knob for the hotplate is switched off
following a power cut.
Table - Cooking
Select the right saucepan size for each burner. The diameter of
the pot or pan base should be the same as that of the burner.
Cooking times depend on the type, weight and quality of the
food. Deviations are therefore possible. You yourself can best
judge the optimal cooking time.
Minerals and vitamins are very quickly destroyed during
cooking. Therefore, only use a little water. This will help vitamins
and minerals to be retained. Select short cooking times so that
the vegetables remain firm and full of nutrients.
