ASKO introduction
You have chosen to cook with gas.
You have therefore also chosen a
hob which offers optimum ease of
use. The gas hob is easy to operate,
heats up quickly and is reliable.
Furthermore, the gas flame can be
adjusted very accurately.
Professional chefs don't cook with
gas for nothing!
Thanks to the spacious positioning of
the wok burner, a wok can be used
and leave minimal two burners free
for the preparation of other dishes.
By reading through these
instructions you can find out quickly
and simply about the possibilities
offered by your appliance. Advice on
safety and the maintenance of your
appliance is included, as well as
environmental tips and ways of
saving energy.
Do not throw away the instructions
for use and the installation
instructions. Another user who takes
on the appliance will find this
information useful.
Happy cooking.

Only appliances equipped with an
electronic igniter have a flex.
The distance from a knob or a non heat
resistant wall is always greater than
2cm.
When the flame reaches the ends of the
pan support, the flame could damage
the enamel.
If the pan is nearer, the knobs or the
wall may become discoloured or
deformed.
Discoloration of or damage to the
enamel of the pan supports is not
covered by the guarantee.

do
When a gas cooking appliance is being
used heat and moisture is produced in
the area where the appliance is situated.
Make sure that the area is sufficiently
ventilated; open natural ventilation
openings or fit a mechanical ventilator
(extractor).
When the hob is used for longer periods
extra ventilation may be needed, such as
an open window or a higher setting on
the ventilator (extractor).
This cooking appliance is designed for
household use. It should only be used
for preparing meals.
Use pans with a diameter of between
12 and 28 cm.
don’t
Never cover ventilation openings in the
kitchen.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of
the appliance while in operation.
Where the appliance may be installed in
marine craft or caravans it shall not be
used as a space heater.
Do not use the appliance to heat the
kitchen. This will produce a damp
atmosphere.
Smaller pans will be unstable, and
larger pans may cause walls or knobs
to overheat.
Using pans which are too big may
deform the control knobs or discolour
the walls. This is not covered by the
guarantee.
Never flambe under an extractor. The
high flames can cause fire. Even if the
ventilator is switched off.

Push the control in and turn it to the full
on position. The burner lights
automatically.
You may set the knob at any position
between full-on and simmer.
This appliance is fitted with a
thermocouple. This is a thermoelectric
protection system. It ensures that the
gas tap is closed if the flame goes out.
If a burner refuses to light, always
check:
- that the cover is properly aligned on
the burner;
- that the burner is clean and dry.
It is important that you check regularly
whether or not this protection system is
working properly.
testing
1. Blow out the flame and wait for one
minute. The gas tap now closes, and
no more gas should come out of the
burner.
2. Hold a lighted match next to the
burner. The burner should not ignite
now. If it does, you should contact
the service department immediately.

The points of the flames are hottest. If
flames escape around the sides of the
pan much heat is lost.
This can save on energy by up to 50%.
Thin and light pans will cause food to
burn on the pan more easily. They will
also lose their shape more easily and
therefore become less stable.
To use the gas as efficiently as possible
it is best to use a pan with a large
diameter.
If the base of the pan is thick it will take
a little more time for the heat to reach
the food, but the base will have a more
uniform temperature.

is best done on the 2 zone wok burner.
The pan supports should have their
narrow edges next to each other. When
removing and fitting the grids, take care
that you remove them by lifting them
straight up and fit them by lowering
them straight down, so that you avoid
scratching the drip tray.
Choose the right sized pan. The best is
between 16 and 28 cm in diameter,
although a 10 cm pan will also fit on the
burner.
Choose the right sized pan. The best is

At full heat, this burner is large enough
to cook food through.
This burner is particularly suitable for
stir-frying in a wok. In addition to using
the wok burner for stir-frying, you can
also use it for stewing, steaming and
deep-frying small quantities in the wok.
Be careful: always fit the auxiliary
support on the wok support at an angle
of 45 degrees. A wrongly fitted auxiliary
support will become too hot, resulting
in possible damage.

wrong right

1110 do
Clean the appliance with water and a
detergent or all purpose cleaner.
Remove with a non-abrasive cream or a
soft sponge.
Remove with 3M cleaner for stainless
steel or a non-scouring sponge. These
sponges can be recognised by their
white surface e.g. Scotch Brite no. 373.
If stains cannot be removed, clean the
hob with the proprietary HG barbecue
grill & oven cleaner. Always treat the
whole drip-tray, to prevent "colour
differences". Always treat with a
stainless steel polish/care product
afterwards.
Any spillage should be removed
immediately, particularly red cabbage,
apple sauce and rhubarb. These can
leave permanent spots on the enamel or
on stainless steel.
don’t
Avoid using too much water to prevent
it entering the burner or ventilation
openings.
Never use scouring powders,
aggressive cleaning agents, green
scours.
Green scours contain scouring agents
which can scratch stainless steel. The
structure of the stainless surface is
such that (shiny) spots may appear
after polishing or scouring.
This damage is not covered by the
guarantee.
Do not drop hot burner caps in cold
water. Because of the strong cooling
they might get damaged.
keep your appliance looking
good
Regular wiping down directly after use
prevents dirt from burning on and
resulting in stains which are difficult to
remove.

space required around
Where cupboards, drawers etc. are
located beneath the hob, there must
be a physical barrier installed at a
minimum clearance of 10 mm from
the base of the hob.
In view of the fact that gas hobs
generate quite an amount of heat it is
necessary, for safe installation, to
allow a sufficient distance between
the hob and non heat-resistant
material (see illustration).

Make the cut-out in the work surface.
Ensure that there is sufficient space
allowed at the sides and at the back
(see ”building-in dimensions”).
Make a hole in the side of the kitchen
cabinet to enable the gas pipe to be
passed through (see ”building-in

Place the hob in the cut-out. Check that
the air inlets at the back of the hob are
clear.
Secure the hob in position. The
brackets clamp either at the sides or
underneath the work surface. Tighten
the bracket bolts sufficiently to ensure
the under seal is seating evenly on the
work surface.

ASKO’s guarantee
troublefree housekeeping
A household appliance should always offer
Troublefree performance. It cannot just
suddenly stop working, it should not be noisy or
vibrate, nor should it be dirty or ugly, waste
water and electricity, or blink obstinately while
refusing to allow itself to be programmed. The
whole point of household appliances is to make
your life troublefree - not be the cause of your
troubles!
When we created ASKO, we did all we could to
prevent problems by incorporating high quality,
reliability, timeless design, and efficient
features into a few, carefully selected models.
However, no matter how hard you try, at some
point someone may require service on an
appliance. Since neither we, nor any other
manufacturer can guarantee 100% reliability,
we created a unique service concept for our
ASKO customers which guarantees that we will
take care of any problem that might arise -
before it starts to trouble you.
We call it 'troublefree housekeeping'. For us
this is a way to stay in touch with our
customers, to make sure that you are still
satisfied after 2 years, as well as after 13. In
practice, the Troublefree housekeeping concept
gives you the best service possible.You can call
on the Troublefree line at any time to ask
questions or request service.
We will still stay in touch with you and
your appliance for as long as you use it - and
we expect that to be a long time!
scope of the terms of guarantee
ASKO quality is equally high worldwide,
but the guarantees vary from country to
country depending on legislation and
other factors. Guarantees and terms of
sale are presented on a separate page
that accompanies your machine.
