General information about cooking
DANGER Risk of fire by overheated
oil! When heating oil, do not leave it
unattended.
Never try to extinguish a fire with
water!
When oil has caught fire,
immediately cover the pot or pan with a
lid. Switch off the hob if safe to do so
and phone the fire service.
Before frying foods, always dry them well and
gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete
thawing of frozen foods before frying.
Do not cover the pot or pan being used when
heating oil.
Place the pans and saucepans in a manner so that
their handles are not over the hob to prevent
heating of the handles. Do not place unbalanced
and easily tilting cooking vessels on the hob.
Do not place empty pots or saucepans on cooking
zones that are switched on to prevent damage.
Operating a cooking zone without a pot, pan or
saucepan on it may damage the appliance. Turn off
the cooking zones after cooking is complete.
As the surface of the appliance can be hot, do not
place plastic and aluminum vessels on it.
Plastic and aluminum vessels should not be used
to keep foods in.
Use flat bottomed saucepans or cooking vessels.
Place only the appropriate amount of food in
saucepans and pans. Doing so will assist with not
having to do any unnecessary cleaning as this will
help prevent the dishes from overflowing.
Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on the
cooking zones.
Place saucepans so that they are centered on the
cooking zone. When moving the saucepan onto
another cooking zone, lift and place it onto the
other cooking zone instead of sliding it.
Gas cooking
The size of the cooking vessel and the flame must
be suited to each other. Adjust the gas flames so
that they do not extend past the bottom of the
cooking vessel and ensure that the cooking vessel
is centered on the saucepan carrier.
Important! See cooking information table on page 4
for cooking vessel sizes. The large flame symbol
indicates the highest cooking power and small flame
symbol indicates the lowest cooking power. In the
turned off position (top), gas is not supplied to the
burners.
Igniting the gas burners
Burner is equipped with automatic ignition.
1.Keep the burner knob pressed in.
2.Turn it counter clockwise to the large flame symbol.
3.Ignite the hob by pressing the automatic ignition
switch on the right hand side of the control panel.
4.Adjust it to the desired cooking power.
