You can find out everything you need to know about
operating your hotplate here.
9.1 Fitting burner parts
You can find out how to correctly position the burner
parts here.
Requirement:
Ensure that the burner parts are clean
and dry.
1.
Ensure that the individual parts of the burners are fit-
ted in their exact position and are straight; other-
wise, this may result in ignition problems or prob-
lems during operation.
2.
Position the burner lid precisely on the burner head.
9.2 Important information about the gas hob
Follow these instructions when using your gas hob.
¡
A slight whistling when operating the burner is nor-
mal.
¡
Odour formation during the first uses is normal. This
does not indicate a risk or malfunction. It will stop
after a while.
¡
An orange flame is normal. This is caused by dust
in the air, overflowing liquids, etc.
¡
If the burner's flame accidentally goes out, switch off
the burner's selector and wait at least 1 minute be-
fore igniting the burner again.
¡
A few seconds after switching off the hob, you may
hear noises, such as a slight clicking, from the
burner. This is not unusual, but shows that the pilot
is deactivated.
¡
Keep the ignition plugs clean. If the ignition plugs
are dirty, the igniter is damaged. Clean the ignition
plugs regularly with a small, metal-free brush. En-
sure that the ignition plugs are not exposed to any
heavy knocks.
