Instructions for use
Note:
When using certain pots or pans, a slight and
temporary deformation of the steel cooking surface may
occur. This is normal and does not affect the
functionality of the appliance.
The following recommendations can help you save
energy and avoid damaging your cookware:
Table of cooking times
The table below lists the optimal heat settings and
cooking times for various types of food. The information
given applies when cooking four portions.
The cooking times and heat settings may vary
depending on the type of food, its weight and quality, on
the type of gas used, and on the material from which
the cookware is made. To prepare this dish, stainless
steel cookware was mainly used.
Always use cookware that is the right size and place it
in the centre of the burner. You can find information
about the diameter of the cookware under

Cooking methods featured in the table
Note:
The symbols do not appear on the appliance.
They are used here to represent the various cooking
methods.
Information on how to cook food on the different
burners is displayed. We recommend using the first
Burner Minimum diame-
ter of the cook-
ware base
Maximum diame-
ter of the cookware
base
Wok burner 22 cm 30 cm
High-output burner 20 cm 26 cm
Standard-output burner 14 cm 22 cm
Economy burner 12 cm 16 cm
Use pans which are the
right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
must not touch the sides of
the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on
the hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick,
flat base.
Do not cook without using a
lid and make sure the lid is
properly fitted. This wastes
energy.
Always centre the pan over
the burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on
the burners near the control
knobs. These may be
damaged by the very high
temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on
the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps
are correctly positioned
before using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and
do not place excessive
weight on it.
Do not place anything, eg.
flame tamer, asbestos mat,
between pan and pan
support as serious damage
to the appliance may result.
Do not remove the pan
support and enclose the
burner with a wok stand as
this will concentrate and
deflect heat onto the
hotplate.
Do not use large pots or
heavy weights which can
bend the pan support or
deflect flame onto the
hotplate.
