switched on.

The illuminated ring behind the control 
knob is flashing orange and white alter-

Is the gas cylinder empty (in the case of liquid 
gas)?

Deactivate demo mode.

knob is flashing yellow and magenta 
alternately.

Electronics fault

Turn all control knobs to 0

 

and disconnect the appli-

ance from the mains power supply for one minute

Reconnect the appliance. The illuminated rings 
around the control knobs will be lit green for a few 
seconds and then turn yellow. Wait until the illumi-
nated rings switch off. Then turn any of the control 
knobs to any of the heat settings and then back to 0.

The appliance panelling becomes 
slightly raised at the corners when it is in

The metal from which the cook-
top is made expands as it heats 
up.

This is normal. It will contract again once it has 
cooled down.
