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.
Enjoy your cooking.

General
• WARNING: this appliance and the accessible parts will become hot during use. Do not
touch hot parts. Keep children younger than 8 away from the appliance unless they are
under continuous supervision.
• This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and over, as well as by people with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge,
provided they are supervised and instructed in the safe use of the appliance and
understand the hazards involved.
• The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from failure to follow the
safety instructions and warnings.
• The hob is only to be used for the preparation of food. The unit is not designed for heating
rooms.
• Never open the casing of the appliance.
• Do not warm closed tins on the hob. There will be a build-up of pressure that will cause
tins to explode. You might get injured or scalded.
• WARNING: danger of fire: never leave anything on the hob.
• WARNING: cooking with fat or oil on a hob without supervision can be dangerous and can
lead to fire. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the appliance offand
then cover the flames with for example a lid or a fire blanket.
• The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.
• Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance may accidentally be switched on or
still be hot, which means objects could melt, become hot or catch fire.
• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the appliance is still hot or is
switched on, there is a risk of fire. Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean
the hob.
• Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a “new smell”. Don’t worry, this is
normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated, the smell will soon disappear.
Safe use
• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use.
• Keep all natural ventilation openings open.
• When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is necessary. For example, open a
window or install an electric fan.
• Never flambé under a cooker hood. The high flames can cause a fire, even if the cooker
hood is switched off.
• The burner components are hot during and immediately after use.
• Do not touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat resistant materials.
• Never immerse hot burner caps and pan supports in cold water. The rapid cooling can
damage the enamel.
• The distance between the pan and a knob or non-heat resistant wall should always be
greater than two centimetres. In case of smaller distances the high temperature may
cause the knobs or wall to discolour and/or deform.
• Always use the pan supports and suitable cookware.
• Always place the pan on the pan support.
• Placing the pan directly on the burner cap can result in dangerous situations.
• Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They can burn into the burner
caps and pan supports.
SAFETY

7
• The hob can only function effectively if the burner components have been assembled
using the guide ridges. Ensure that the pan supports lie properly against each other and
flat on the drip tray. Only then can the pans be positioned stably.
• Keep oven gloves or oven cloths away from the flame.
Children
• Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Do not allow children to clean or maintain
the appliance unless supervised.
• Do not keep objects that children might find interesting in cupboards above or behind the
appliance.
• The cooking zones/burners heat up during use and stay hot for a while afterwards. Keep
young children away from the hob during and immediately after cooking.

Igniting and adjusting
Each burner can be adjusted continuously between the
high and lowpositions.

2. Burner indication
3. Low setting
4. High setting
Flame failure device
Your gas hob has a flame failure device. This ensures
that the gas supply is shut offif the flame goes out during
cooking.
Operating the thermal flame failure device
Press the control knob and turn it anti-clockwise.
Hold the control knob pressed (in the high setting) for
approximately 3 seconds after the burner has ignited.
The flame failure device switches on.
CONTROLS

9
Optimal use of the hob
Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan.
If flames play around the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In
addition, the handles can get too hot. Do not use pans
with a base diameter less than 12 cm. Smaller pans will
not be stable.
• When frying, stir-frying, heating through large
quantities and deepfrying it is best to use the rapid or
wok burner.
• Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done
best on the simmer burner. On its high setting this
burner is large enough for cooking food right through.
• Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to
50% energy.
• Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat
base stand stably and pans with a clean base transfer
the heat more effectively to the food.
Wrong Right
Wokburner (type Hg1664s, 1774s/a and
Hg1984s/a)
With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very
high temperature. For this purpose it is important:
• to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces
before cooking;
• to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize,
sunflower or peanut oil when stir-frying. A small
quantity is enough. Butter and margarine on the
other hand will burn because of the high heat;
• to place the dishes with the longest cooking time in
the pan first, so that at the end of the cooking time
all ingredients are cooked al dente at the same
time.
Use of the auxiliary support
Hg1774s/HG1774a/Hg1984s/Hg1984a
• The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner or
available as an accessory provides additional stability
in case of a wok with a round base.
• The auxiliary support for the wok has special
recesses so it can be positioned neatly on top of the
standard wok pan support.
Hg1664s
• The auxiliary support supplied for the wok burner or
available as an
• accessory provides additional stability in case of a
wok with a flat base.
COMFORTABLE COOKING

10
General
Your appliance has been manufactured from high-grade
materials, which are easy for you to clean.
• Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents
over-cooked food being able to become ingrained
and cause stubborn stains that are difficult to remove.
Use a mild cleaning agent.
• Clean the control knobs, burners and pan supports
first and then the stainless steel drip tray. This avoids
the stainless steel drip tray getting dirty again during
cleaning.
• Clean the spark plugs preferably with a cloth. Do
this carefully. the spark plug can become defective.
The sparkplug will only operate correctly in a dry
environment. If the plug is very dirty, you may clean
the point with a tiny brush.
• Set the pan supports down vertically, without sliding
them over the stainless steel drip tray.
• Place the pan supports back in the right order. The
text ‘FRONT’ at the bottom of all pan supports helps
positioning these parts (see Hg1654/1774/1984).

Stubborn stains on enamel
• Remove with a non-abrasive cream. Never use
scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects or
aggressive cleansing agents.
Stubborn stains on stainless steel
• If spilled, acid fluids and sugary foodstuffs like red
cabbage, beetroot, soy sauce, applesauce and
rhubarb may cause the surface to discolour. Stubborn
stains on stainless steel are best removed with a
cleaning agent for stainless steel. Always polish in the
direction of the steel structure to avoid shine spots.
(This kind of damage is not covered by the warranty!)
• If the above methods do not remove the stains, clean
the plate with a special cleaning agent for stainless
steel. Remember to treat the entire drip tray in order
to avoid discolouring. Also, as a follow-up treat the
drip tray with a polish or maintenance agent for
stainless steel. Please note that over the years the
surface will slightly discolour.
Cleaning the pan support
• The enamel on the pan supports is suitable for
cleaning by dishwasher. However, the connection
with the rubber feet is not. Therefore do not clean the
pan supports in the dishwasher. Moreover, the pan
supports might show some discoloration if they were
washed in the dishwasher. If the rubber feet are lost,
the pan support is likely to damage the drip tray.
Brass wok burner parts
• A few parts of the work burner are made from brass.
It is normal for the colour of the brass to change as
a result of the high temperatures that occur when
cooking with a wok.
Cleaning removable burner components
• The removable burner components (including wok)
are best cleaned with a mild cleaning product and a
soft cloth. In the case of obstinate stains you can soak
the parts in hot suds.
• Burner parts should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The parts may be damaged by the dishwasher
detergent!
• Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp
objects or aggressive cleansing agents.

12
Cleaning removable knobs
• If the knobs are very dirty, you can remove them
temporarily to clean them. The knobs are best
cleaned with a mild cleaning product and a soft cloth.
Wearing rubber gloves makes it easier to remove the
knob!
ATTENTION!
Avoid an excess of moisture around the knob
holes when cleaning.
Keradur® burner bases
• The burner bases have a unique Keradur® surface
coating. The special dirt-repelling lacquer has a
ceramic filling which makes cleaning easier and
substantially improves the durability of the burners.
The burner bases are best cleaned with a mild
cleaning product and a soft cloth.
