Switching off
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the
OFF position.
Thermoelectric flame monitoring
For your safety, the hob is fitted with thermoelectric
flame monitoring. This prevents the flow of gas if the
burner accidentally goes out while it is in use (e.g. due
to draughts).
If the burner accidentally goes out while it is in use, turn
the control knob to the 0 position and wait at least one
minute before you ignite the burner again.
Settings table and tips
Tips for cooking and roasting
The values given in the settings table must be looked
upon as recommended values. The heat required
depends not only on the type and condition of the food,
but also the size and contents of the pot.
Due to the high performance of the cooktop, fat and oil
will heat up quickly. Never leave the cooktop
unattended, fat can ignite, food can burn.
Preferably use the rear cooking zones to prepare meals,
that need longer to cook.
Preferably use the high output burners for brief
cooking, deep fat frying and searing of large quantities.
