When being switched on, a short sound may be
heard when the electronics of the gas hob open
the gas supply valve. This is normal.

The cooktop cannot be used during a power
failure.
Electronic flame detection and
automatic re-ignition
For your safety the cooktop features electronic flame
monitoring. Should the flame go out during operation
(e.g. because of a draught), the appliance will
automatically re-ignite the burner.
Should the re-ignition be unsuccessful (e.g. burner is
soiled by spilled over food or liquid), the gas supply is
switched off and a signal is sounded.
The flashing indicator lights will go out except for the
affected burner. This indicator will continue to flash
for a few seconds.
Turn the control knob to the OFF position. After the
appliance has cooled down sufficiently, check this
burner to see if all the burner parts have been
assembled correctly. Check if the burner or the
electrode has been soiled (see trouble shooting
guide).
Please note when switching on the cold appliance
on the HIGH setting:
Depending on the gas type and pressure, it is
possible that the electrode continues to fire, although
there is a flame visible, and then switches off. Turn the
control knob to the OFF position and then to the LOW
setting. Leave to warm up for 30 to 60 seconds after
ignition. Then you can continue to use your appliance
as usual.
Switching off
Fully turn the control knob to the OFF position. The
electronics of the appliance switches the gas supply
off.

Risk of burns!
When the appliance cover is closed, heat will
accumulate. Only close the appliance cover when the
appliance has cooled down. Never switch the
appliance on with the appliance cover closed. Do not
rest food on the appliance cover or use it to keep food
warm.
Safety shut-off
For your protection, the appliance has a safety shut-off
feature. The appliance switches off after six hours if it
is not operated during this time.
Even after a power outage, the appliance stays
switched off. A prolonged audible signal is sounded.
Turn the control knob to 0. You can then operate the
appliance in the way to which you are accustomed.
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.
Cooking in the wok
We recommend using a round-bottom wok. You can
order a high-quality wok pan as a special accessory
(WP 400 001).
Only use oil that is suitable for frying at high
temperatures, for example peanut oil.
Fry the food quickly on a high heat while stirring
continuosly. Vegetables should stay crispy.
Use a heat resistant, flat ladle with a long handle to
stir the food and take it out of the wok pan.
