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.

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.
