GAS INSTALLATION
6-7
• The cover plate of the stove top and the
sink are made of glass. The cover plate
is at risk of breaking if hit or weighted.
Do not use as a shelf. No pot should be
placed on the stove while igniting!
• Do not keep any inflammable objects
near the cooker when it is in use.
• While the cooker is in use, open the roof
flap to prevent oxygen deficiency.
• Do not overheat oil or fat – fire hazard!
• Do not allow the handles of saucepans
and frying pans beyond the edge of the
work-plate to ensure that no one can
knock anything off the cooker by mistake.
• Never leave the cooker unattended,
especially if children are on board!
• Cooker flames may not be used for
heating purposes.
• All gas shut-off valves must be closed if
the cooker is not used for an extended
period, and invariably before setting
out on a trip.
• Check the cooker's safety pilot on a
regular basis. If the flame goes out, then
the safety pilot should audibly (clicking
noise) interrupt the gas supply after
approximately one minute.
Caution
• Make sure that flames do not come out
beyond the edge of the saucepan.
• Where saucepans are hot, make sure there
is a minimum distance of 2 cm to the glass
cover.
Igniting the cooking rings
• Turn the knob for the desired cooking ring in
anticlockwise direction (to the High position).
• Ignite the gas from the side at the burner.
• Keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds
when the flame at the cooking ring is burning
in order to override the ignition safeguard
temporarily. If the knob is released too early,
the flame will go out. It can then be re-ignited
immediately.
• If the flame at the cooking ring is still burning
when your release the knob, you can regulate
it with the knob:
- "big flame" symbol: high position
- "small flame" symbol: low position.
End of cooking
• Turn the knob in clockwise direction
(0 position).
• Close shut-off valve (p. 5-1).
General instructions
• Place saucepans in the middle of the
cooking ring.
• Only use saucepans with a maximum
diameter of 16–20 cm without a curved base.
• Only use saucepans suitable for a gas cooker.
