Controls and burners
Each control knob is marked with the burner it controls.
You can use the control knobs to set the output
required in each case to various positions between the
maximum and the minimum settings. Never try to switch
directly from position 0 to position 1 or from position 1
to position 0.
It is essential to ensure that all the burner parts and pan
supports are correctly installed for the appliance to
work correctly. Do not swap the burner caps around.
Always remove the pan supports carefully. When
moving a pan support, the pan supports next to it may
also move.
Accessories
Depending on the model, the hob may include the
following accessories. These can also be acquired from
the Technical Assistance Service.

To extend the service life of the
appliance, we recommend using
the additional wok grid.

smallest burner. Use cookware
with a diameter of less than
12 cm.

Switching on manually
1.
Press the control knob for the selected burner and
turn it anticlockwise to the highest power setting.
2.
Hold an igniter or a naked flame (such as a lighter or
a match) against the burner.
Automatic ignition
If the hob has automatic ignition (ignition plugs):
1.
Press the control knob for the selected burner and
turn it anticlockwise to the highest power level.
While the control knob is held down, all the burners
will generate sparks. The flame ignites. Wait a few
seconds.
2.
Release the control knob.
3.
Turn the control knob to the required position.
If the burner does not ignite, switch it off and repeat the
steps described above. This time, hold the control knob
down for longer (up to 10 seconds).
:
Warning – Risk of deflagration!
If the flame does not ignite after 15 seconds, switch off
the burner and open a window or the door to the room.
Wait at least one minute before switching the burner on
again.
Note:
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.
Safety system
Your hob is equipped with a safety system
(thermocouple) that cuts off the gas when the burners
are accidentally switched off.
To ensure that this device is active:
1.
Switch on the burner as usual.
2.
Without releasing the control knob, press and hold it
down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame.
Switching off a burner
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0
setting.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound
(thud) will be produced. This is not a fault - this means
that the safety device is no longer operating.
Warnings
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the
burner is operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off
odours. This does not pose any risk and does not
indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by
the presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids,
etc.
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

Suitable pans
The cookware must not overhang the edge of the hob.
You should only use cookware with a domed base if
your cooktop features a wok burner and the additional
wok grid. The additional wok grid must be correctly
positioned.
Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save
energy and prevent pan damage:

Minimum diame-
ter of the cook-
ware base
Maximum diame-
ter of the cookware
base

Standard-output burner

Economy burner

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.
