When being switched on, a short sound may be
heard when the electronic of the gas hob opens
the gas supply valve. This is a normal condition.
‒
The cooktop cannot be used during a power
failure.
Operation indicator
The operation indicator next to the control knob
comes on, if the burner is switched on and the flame
burns correctly. If a malfunction occurs the operation
indicator will flash.
Electronic flame detection and
automatic re-ignition
For your safety the cooktop features electronic flame
monitoring. Should the flame go out during operation
(e.g. because of a draught), the appliance will
automatically re-ignite the burner.
Should the re-ignition be unsuccessful (e.g. burner is
soiled by spilled over food or liquid), all burners are
switched off, the indicator lights of the burners that
were switched on flash.
Turn all control knobs to the OFF position. The
flashing indicator lights will go out except for the
affected burner. This indicator will continue to flash
for a few seconds.
After the appliance has cooled down sufficiently,
check this burner to see if all the burner parts have
been assembled correctly. Check if the burner or the
electrode has been soiled (see trouble shooting
guide).
Note:
If a malfunction occurs on one burner, you can
continue using the remaining burners, however, you
must turn all control knobs to the off-position first,
before recommencing.
Please note when switching on the cold appliance
on the HIGH setting:
Depending on the gas type and pressure, it is
possible that the electrode continues to fire, although
there is a flame visible, and then switches off. Turn all
control knobs to the OFF position. Then turn the
control knob for the required cooking position to any
setting except the high position and leave to warm up
for 30 to 60 seconds. Then you can continue to use
your appliance as usual.
Switching off
Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the
OFF position.
The electronics of the appliance will switch the gas
supply off, if all control knobs are in the off position.
Settings table and tips
Tips for cooking and roasting
The values given in the settings table must be looked
upon as recommended values. The heat required
depends not only on the type and condition of the
food, but also the size and contents of the pot.
Due to the high performance of the cooktop, fat and
oil will heat up quickly. Never leave the cooktop
unattended, fat can ignite, food can burn.
Preferably use the rear cooking zones to prepare
meals, that need longer to cook.
Preferably use the high output burners or the wok
burner for brief cooking, deep fat frying and searing of
large quantities.
Cooking in the wok
We recommend using a round-bottom wok.
Only use oil that is suitable for frying at high
temperatures, for example peanut oil.
Fry the food quickly on a high heat while stirring
continuosly. Vegetables should stay crispy.
Use a heat resistant, flat ladle with a long handle to
stir the food and take it out of the wok pan.
