Environmental protection
Environmentalprotection The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips
and provide information on disposing of your appliance.
Saving energy
▯Choose a burner of roughly the same size as your
pan. Place the cookware in the middle.
▯Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of
energy.
▯Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy.
Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan
without having to lift the lid.
▯Cook with only a little water. This will save energy
and preserve the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. This will
save energy.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance
with European Directive 2012/19/EU
concerning used electrical and electronic
appliances (waste electrical and electronic
equipment - WEEE). The guideline
determines the framework for the return and

Tableofsettingsandtips
Burner recommendation
For cooking at low temperatures and with a long
preparation time (e.g. melting, soaking, baking), select
the standard- or high-output burner (not the wok
burner).
For cooking at high temperatures and with a short
preparation time (e.g. warming, deep-frying), we
recommend the wok burner or the high-output burner.
Tips for cooking and roasting
The values given in the settings table must be looked
upon as recommended values. The heat required
depends not only on the type and condition of the food,
but also the size and contents of the pot.
Due to the high performance of the cooktop, fat and oil
will heat up quickly. Never leave the cooktop
unattended, fat can ignite, food can burn.
Tips for using a wok
Note: When you cook using a wok, place the wok ring
onto the pan support over the wok burner. Make sure
that the wok is stable on the wok ring when you are
cooking.
We recommend using woks with a domed base. You can
order a high-quality wok as an optional accessory (WP
400 001).
When cooking with the wok, use only cooking oil that is
suitable for heating to high temperatures, such as
groundnut oil.
Cook the ingredients at a high heat, while stirring
constantly. Do not cook them for too long. The
vegetables should be al dente.
For stirring the food and for taking it out of the pan, it is
best to use a shallow ladle with a long handle made
from a heat-resistant material.

Do not use damaged
pots or pans, which do
not sit evenly on the
cooktoop, they may tip
over.
Only use pots or 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 centre the pot or
pan over the burner,
otherwise it could tip
over.
Do not place large pots
on the burners near the
control knobs. These
may get damaged by the
high temperatures.
Place the pots or pans
on the pan support,
never directly on the
burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner
caps are correctly
positioned before using
the appliance.
Pots or pans should be
placed on the cooktop
carefully.
Do not strike the cooktop
and do not place
excessive weight on it.
Do not heat a cooking
vessel (e.g. roaster, pan,
grill stone) on more than
one burner at the same
time. The resulting heat
accumulation will
damage the appliance.

Indicacionesdeseguridadimportantes mAdvertencia – ¡COMPORTAMIENTO EN
CASO PERCIBIR OLOR A GAS!
Un escape de gas puede provocar una
explosión.
Si se detecta olor a gas o una avería en la
instalación de gas:
▯Cortar inmediatamente la alimentación de
gas o cerrar la válvula de la bombona de
gas.
▯Apagar inmediatamente los fuegos abiertos
y cigarrillos.
▯No volver a accionar el interruptor de la luz
o del aparato, no desenchufar ningún
aparato. No usar el teléfono fijo o el móvil
en la casa.
▯Abrir la ventana y ventilar a fondo la
habitación.
▯Llamar al Servicio de Asistencia Técnica o
a la compañía de abastecimiento de gas.
mAdvertencia – ¡Peligro de asfixia!
El uso de una cocina de gas da lugar a la
formación de calor, humedad y productos de
combustión en la habitación donde se
encuentre instalada. Asegurar una buena
ventilación en la habitación. Es preciso
mantener siempre abiertas las aberturas
naturales de ventilación o instalar un
dispositivo mecánico de ventilación (p. ej. una
campana extractora). Un uso intenso y
prolongado del aparato puede hacer necesaria
una ventilación adicional (p. ej. abrir una
ventana) o una ventilación más efectiva (p. ej.
funcionamiento del dispositivo mecánico de
ventilación a un nivel de potencia superior).
mAdvertencia – ¡Peligro de incendio!
▯El aceite caliente y la grasa se inflaman con
facilidad. Estar siempre pendiente del
aceite caliente y de la grasa. No apagar
nunca con agua un fuego. Apagar la zona
de cocción. Sofocar con cuidado las llamas
con una tapa, una tapa extintora u otro
medio similar.
¡Peligro de incendio!
▯Las zonas de cocción se calientan mucho.
No colocar objetos inflamables sobre la
placa de cocción. No almacenar objetos
sobre la placa de cocción.
¡Peligro de incendio!
▯El aparato se calienta mucho, los
materiales inflamables se pueden
incendiar. No almacenar ni usar objetos
inflamables (p. ej. aerosoles o productos
de limpieza) debajo o demasiado cerca del
aparato. No colocar objetos inflamables
sobre el aparato o dentro de él.
¡Peligro de incendio!
▯Los fogones de gas, en los que no se haya
colocado ningún recipiente para cocinar
encima, generan gran cantidad de calor
durante su funcionamiento. El aparato y la
campana extractora, en caso de haberla,
pueden quedar dañados o incendiarse. Los
restos de grasa en el filtro de la campana
extractora pueden inflamarse. Utilizar los
fogones de gas únicamente colocando
encima recipientes para cocinar.
¡Peligro de deflagración!
▯Si transcurridos 15 segundos la llama no
se enciende, desactivar el mando de
control y abrir la puerta o ventana de la
estancia. Esperar al menos un minuto
antes de intentar encender el quemador de
nuevo.
mAdvertencia – ¡Peligro de quemaduras!
▯El aparato se calienta durante el
funcionamiento. Antes de proceder a la
limpieza del aparato, dejar que se enfríe.
