Safety

Gas burners
WARNING!
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).
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.
•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 one centimetre. 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.
•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 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.
•Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the pan
support or deflect flame onto the hotplate.
•Locate pan centrally over the burner so that it is stable and does
not overhang the appliance.
Induction cooking zones and cooking areas
•Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids
on the surface of the hob, they may become hot.
•As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking process
will stop automatically. Get into the habit of switching off the
cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintentionally switching
on the appliance.
•After use, switch off the hob element using the controls and don’t
rely only on the pan detector.
•Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the heating
time will be very short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are
using a zone on a high setting.
•When the induction hob is in use, keep objects that are sensitive
to magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards, discs, watches and
similar items) away from the hob. We advise anyone with a
pacemaker to consult their cardiologist first.

Safety

Safe use
Temperature safety induction zones
•Each induction zone is equipped with a sensor. This sensor measures the temperature of the
base of the pan and the sections of the hob. This facility prevents overheating (for example
through a pan boiling dry). In case of temperatures rising too high, the power of the cooking
zone/hub is reduced automatically or shut off completely.
Cooking time limiter
WARNING!
If a cooking zone or the wok burner is switched on for an unusually long time, it will be switched
off automatically.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:
The cooking zone or wok burner switches off
automatically after:
Cooking settings

Safety

Introduction
This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. The hob consists of a gas wok burner and
induction cooking zones.
Cooking on an induction hob has a number of advantages. It is easy because the hob reacts quickly
and can also be set to a very low power level. Because moreover, it can also be set to a high power
level, it can bring things to the boil very quickly. The ample space between the cooking zones makes
cooking comfortable.
Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional appliance. Induction cooking
makes use of a magnetic field to generate heat. This means that you cannot use just any pan on it.
The pans section gives more information about this.
You can prepare wok dishes much more effectively with the high-power wok burner (gas). Thanks
to the spark ignition integrated into the knob, you can ignite and operate the wok burner with one
hand.
For optimum safety, the touch control gas-induction hob is fitted with thermo-electric flame protection.
The hob is equipped with several temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows
which cooking zones (or the wok burner) are still hot.
This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the touch control gas-induction
hob. In addition to information about the operation, you will also find background information that
can assist you in using this product. You will also find cooking tables and maintenance tips.
TIP!
Read the manual thoroughly before using the appliance, and store these instructions in a safe
place for future reference.
The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians. Please, therefore, stick the
appliance identification card in the space provided, at the back of the manual. The appliance
identification card contains all the information that the service technician will need in order to respond
appropriately to your needs and questions.

Your gas-induction hob

Induction cooking
Induction cooking is fast
To start with, you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking.
Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will come to a boil very
rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling
over or boiling dry. With induction cooking, there is no heat loss, and
the handles stay cool.
The power level adjusts itself
In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan is placed is used. If you use a small pan on a
large zone, the power will be adjusted to the diameter of the pan. The power will thus be lower and
it will take longer before the food comes to the boil.
CAUTION!
•Grains of sand may cause scratches that you cannot remove.
Therefore, only put pans with a clean base on the cooking
surface and always pick pans up to move them.
•Do not use the hob as a worktop.
•Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid
energy loss.
•Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are
no longer suitable for use on an induction hob.
Operation of the touch-sensitive buttons
Place the tip of your finger flat on the control to achieve the best results. You do not have to apply
any pressure.
The touch sensors have been set in such a way that they only react to the pressure and size of
fingertips. The hob can’t be operated with other objects and won’t, for instance, be switched on if
your pet walks over the hob.
How induction works
The coil (1) in the hob (2) generates a magnetic field (3). By placing a
pan with an iron base (4) on the coil, a current is induced in the base
of the pan.
A magnetic field is generated in the appliance.
By placing a pan with an iron base on a cooking zone, a current is
induced in the pan base. This induced current generates heat in the
base of the pan.
13
Induction use

Easy
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest setting, you can melt chocolate
directly in the pan, for example, or cook ingredients that you would normally heat in au bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing food to the boil is very quick. Cooking food
through takes just as long as for other types of cooking.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any hotter than the pans themselves,
food spills cannot burn into the glass.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any hotter than the pan. This
means that the cooking zone is considerably cooler than a ceramic hob, for example.
Once a pan has been removed, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Induction sounds
Ticking sound
A light ticking sound is caused by the capacity limiter on the front and back zones. A soft ticking
sound can also occur at lower settings.
Pan makes sounds
The pan can make sounds during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to the
pan. This is normal for certain pans, particularly at high settings. This is not harmful for the pans or
the hob.
Ventilator makes sounds
The appliance is fitted with a ventilator in order to increase the lifespan of electronic components.
If you use the appliance intensively, the ventilator will be switched on and you will hear a humming
sound. The ventilator can also make sounds after you have switched off the appliance.
TIP!
When automatic pan detection (APd) is active, a ticking sound is observable, even when the zone
is not in use.
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular type of pan in terms of quality.
•Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable for use on
an induction hob.
•Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking with:
- a thick base of a minimum of 2.25 mm;
- a flat base.
•The best pans are those with the ‘Class Induction’quality mark.
14
Induction use

TIP!
You can use a magnet to check whether your pans are suitable. A pan is suitable if the base of
the pan is attracted by the magnet.
UnsuitableSuitable
EarthenwareSpecial stainless steel pans
Stainless steelClass Induction
PorcelainSolid enamelled pans
CopperEnamelled cast-iron pans
Plastic
Aluminium
WARNING!
Be careful with thin enamelled sheet steel pans:
•the enamel may come loose from the steel at high settings if the pan boils dry;
•high power level settings may cause the base of the pan to warp.
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with the operation
of the overheating protection, causing the appliance to become too hot. This may lead to the
glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or boiling
dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Container diameter
The minimum diameter for the pan base is 12 cm. If a pan is too small, the zone will not work.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers. The fast-reacting cooking zone brings the
pressure cooker to pressure quickly. As soon as you switch off a cooking zone, the dish stops
cooking immediately.
15
Induction use

Pans
Always ensure that the flames remain under the pan. A lot of energy is
lost when flames burn around the outside of the pan. The handles could
also become too hot.
wrong
Do not use pans with a base diameter smaller than 12 cm. Smaller pans
are not as stable.
right
Wok 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.

zones are still active.
Switching the hob to the eco standby mode
Press the key button briefly.
A single audio signal sounds.
The eco standby mode is active, the red light next to the key button
flashes slowly.
From the eco standby mode, you can’t immediately start cooking. To be able to, the hob first needs
to be switched to the standby mode.
Standby mode
In standby mode, the induction hob is switched on, but all zones are off. You can switch to the
standby mode from the eco standby mode, or by switching off all separate cooking zones.
From the standby mode, you can directly start cooking by pressing the on/off button of the desired
cooking zone.
