Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save energy and
prevent pan damage:
Setting the hob
Your hob is equipped with three gas burners and one hotplate.
The following information explains how to light the gas burners
and set the hotplate.
Lighting the gas burner
Always position the burner cap exactly over the burner cup. The
openings on the burner cup must always be unobstructed. All
parts must be dry.
1.
Open the top cover. The top cover must remain open for as
long as the oven is in operation.
2.
Turn the switch for the desired burner anticlockwise to the
large flame symbol
•
.
3.
Press and hold the burner knob and press the ignition button
at the same time. The gas burner ignites.
4.
Press and hold the burner knob for approximately 1-3
seconds. The safety pilot is activated. If the gas flame goes
out, the gas supply is automatically interrupted by the safety
pilot.
5.
Set the desired flame size. Between the
û
Off and
•
settings,
the flame is not stable. Therefore, always choose a setting
between
•
large and
–
small flame.
6.
If the flame goes out again, repeat the process from step 2.
7.
To stop cooking: Turn the burner knob
û
clockwise to the Off
position.
The ignition device should not be actuated for more than 15
seconds. If the burner does not light within 15 seconds, wait for
at least one minute. Then repeat the ignition process.
The gas burner does not ignite
If there is a power cut or if the ignition plugs are damp, you can
light the gas burners with a gas lighter or a match.

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 place the ovenware
centrally over the burner.
Otherwise, there is a risk that it
may tip over.
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.
Never use two burners or heat
sources to heat one single
pan.
Do not use grill pans,
earthenware casserole dishes,
etc. for a long period of time
on maximum power.
