Individual parts of the wok burner

Ensure that the individual parts of the wok burner are 
fitted in the correct position and are straight; otherwise, 
this may result in ignition problems or problems during 
operation. Fit the burner head such that the 
thermocouple is positioned in the corresponding recess 
on the burner head. The lug on the burner ring must 
engage in the corresponding recess on the burner 
head.

Note: 

If the burner parts are fitted at an angle, the 

appliance will not work.

Operating the appliance

Notes

Only use the accessories specified. Do not line the 
stainless steel recess (e.g. with aluminium foil).

The burner and ignition plug must be clean and dry.

Only light the hotplates if the pan supports and all 
burner parts are correctly fitted.

When one burner is ignited, an ignition spark will 
also be generated at all the other burners.

Do not touch the ignition plug while the gas 
appliance is being lit.

It is important to keep the appliance clean. If the 
ignition plugs are dirty, this may cause ignition 
problems. Clean the ignition plugs regularly with a 
small, non-metallic brush. Take care to prevent the 
ignition plugs from suffering any heavy knocks.

When you cook using a wok, place the wok ring 
onto the pan support over the wok burner. Make 
sure that the wok is stable on the wok ring when 
you are cooking.

When you switch from setting 3

 

to setting 4

 

or 

higher, the burner will briefly switch to its maximum 
output. This is to optimise ignition between the 
burner rings.

Do not cover the ventilation openings on the rear of 
the gas hob.

When the gas cooktop is switched on, the 
electronics open up the gas supply, which 
produces a short sound. This is normal.

In the event of a power failure, the appliance will 
not work. The gas supply is shut off.

Abnormal operation

 

Flames are usually blue and sharply defined. If the 
flames are yellowish or noisy or if the gas does not 
ignite within the period specified under "switching on" 
abnormal operation is indicated. Refer to chapter "After-
sales service" of this manual for service contact details.
