General
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting
from failure to follow the safety instructions and warnings.
Damage caused by incorrect connection, incorrect fitting, or incorrect
use is not covered by the warranty.
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.
DANGER OF FIRE!
WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking
surfaces.
NOTE!
CAUTION! The cooking process has to be supervised. A short
term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
DANGER OF FIRE!
WARNING: Cooking with fat or oil on a hob without supervision
can be dangerous and can lead to a fire.
•NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the
appliance off and then cover the flames with, for example, a lid
or a fire blanket.
•Never flambé under a cooker hood. The high flames can cause
a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.

Safety

WARNING!
Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking
appliance or indicated by the appliance manufacturer in the
instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the
appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
•If a drawer underneath the appliance is permitted (see the
installation instructions), without an intermediate bottom, this
should not be used to store highly flammable objects/materials.
Ensure that there is adequate clearance of a few centimetres
between the bottom of the hob and the contents of any drawers.
•The hob is only to be used for the preparation of food.
•The appliance is not designed for heating rooms.
•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.
•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.
•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.
•Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
•The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.
•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.
•The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote control system.
•Never open the casing of the appliance.
•Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning the appliance.
Only clean the appliance when switched off. The steam of a steam
cleaner could reach the conducting parts and cause an electrical
short.

Safety

•The ceramic top is extremely strong but not unbreakable.
For example, a spice jar or sharp utensil falling on it could cause
it to break.
WARNING!
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to
avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Ceramic glass plate broke
•Shut immediately off all burners and any electrical heating element
and isolate the appliance from the power supply.
•Do not touch the appliance surface.
•Do not use the appliance.
WARNING!
Households with children and people with special needs
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.
•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.

Safety

WARNING!
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional
ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective
ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical
ventilation where present.
CAUTION: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the
production of heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room
in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated
especially when the appliance is in use: keep natural ventilation
holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical
extractor hood).
•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.
Rapid cooling can damage the enamel.
•The distance between the pan and a knob or non-heat resistant
wall should always be greater than one centimetre. In the 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.
•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.
•Do not use griddle plates or baking plates.
7
Safety

•Clean the burner parts regularly for the safe and correct operation
of the burners.
•Missing rubber feet from the pan supports can cause scratches
on the drip tray or poor combustion of the burner. If the rubber
feet are missing, please contact our service department.

Use

Wok ring and small pan grid
Small pan gridWok ring
The wok ring for use with the wok burner supplied or obtainable as an accessory provides extra
stability for woks with a round base.
The small pan grid-supplied or obtainable as an accessory makes it possible to use very small pans.
CAUTION!
Do not use the small pan grid on the wok burner.
Only use the wok ring on the wok stand in combination with a (round-based) wok. The wok ring
may discolour if used on the searing setting.
Pan support
Place the pan support vertically, without sliding it over the glass top. Use the positioning notches to
position the pan support on the glass top.
Burner
Use the leads (1) to put together the burner parts.
11
Use

Use

Ignition and adjustment
The burner is fully adjustable between high and low settings.
1. Press the control knob and turn it anticlockwise. The burner will ignite.
2. Keep the control knob fully depressed for at least 3 seconds between high and low settings.
The thermocouple safety pilot has been activated.
3. If desired, turn the wok selector ring to the roasting setting (5). The inner ring (wok setting) will
switch off and the outer ring (roasting setting) will switch on.
4. The wok burner will switch automatically to the wok setting if the control knob of the wok burner
is set to 0.
NOTE!
It is possible to switch between wok setting and roasting setting and back during cooking.
If the control knob is in the off setting (0-setting) the selector ring cannot be changed to the
roasting setting. Always turn this knob back completely to 0.
13
Operation

Daily cleaning
Regular maintenance after use prevents spilt food from setting too long and creating stubborn stains.
Use a mild detergent for this.
First clean the control knobs, burners and pan support and only then the drip tray or glass cover.
This prevents the drip tray or glass cover to becoming dirty again after cleaning.
NOTE!
•Burner parts should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
•Dishwasher detergents can corrode burner parts!
Stubborn stains
Persistent stains can best be removed with a fluid detergent or a plastic scouring sponge. Never
use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleaning products.
Persistent stains on the glass cover
Clean the glass cover with a special cleaning product for ceramic hobs. Water stains or limescale
are best cleaned using cleaning vinegar.
NOTE!
•Never use abrasives. These leave scratches in which dirt and limescale can accumulate.
•Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.
Persistent stains on the stainless steel (drip trays)
Persistent stains on stainless steel are best removed with a special stainless steel cleaning product.
Always wipe with the structure of the steel to prevent scraping away the protective layer (damage
caused in this way does not fall under the guarantee!) The surface of stainless steel drip trays can
discolour slightly over time.
Brass wok burner parts
Some wok burner parts are made of brass. It is not unusual to see a change in the colour of the
brass as a result of the high temperatures involved in wok use.
TIP!
Consult the website for additional maintenance and cleaning instructions!
