Burner assembly
Always assemble the burner parts correctly and evenly
to avoid faults during ignition or during use. The
catching pins on the burner ring must fit in the
corresponding holes on the burner head.
Burner assembly normal / high output burner
Operation
The markings on the control knob show the setting
between high and low heat. The flame setting is
infinitely variable between high and low heat.
Notes
‒ Only light a burner if all pan supports and burner
parts are properly assembled.
‒ Make sure the burners and ignition sparkers are
clean and dry.
‒ Fully press down the control knob and keep it
pressed, then turn it to the required position.
‒ After igniting, keep the control knob pressed for
around 2 to 4 seconds more. The thermal sensor
which controls the gas flow must be heated
before the knob can be released.
‒ If the flame should not ignite within 2 to 4
seconds, turn the control knob further to the left
to the low heat position and then back to the high
heat position after ignition. It is often faster to
ignite the burner in the low heat position because
the various gases have a differing ignition
response.
‒ Only use the recommended accessories. Do not
cover the stainless steel cooktop base (e.g. with
aluminium foil).
Switching on automatically
Your cooktop features ignition sparkers for automatic
ignition.
1 Place a suitable pot or pan on the corresponding
cooking position.
2 Fully press down the corresponding control knob
and turn it anticlockwise to the required position.
The burner lights automatically.
3 Keep the control knob pressed for a few seconds
after ignition.
The flame size can be set continuously between high
and low by slowly turning the control knob.
Switching on manually
During a power cut you can ignite the burners
manually.
1 Place a suitable pot or pan on the chosen burner.
2 Press the corresponding control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to the required setting. Keep the
control knob pressed.
3 Use a gas lighter or a match to ignite the burner.
Keep the control knob pressed for a few seconds
after ignition.
Switching off
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the
OFF position.
Thermoelectric flame monitoring
For your safety, this cooktop features thermoelectric
flame monitoring. This prevents gas escaping, if a
burner accidentally goes off during use (for example
from a draught).
Should a burner accidentally go off during use, turn
the control knob to the OFF position and wait at least
30 seconds before re-igniting the burner.
