COOKING HOB
GAS BURNERS
- To sear the food, set the burner to maximum power first, and then continue to cook at
minimum power.
- In some models, the cooker burners are fitted with thermoelectric safety devices. If the
burner flame is extinguished (due to boiling over, draft etc.), gas supply will be shut o
automatically. Any chance of gas leaking into the room is eliminated.
- If the burner flame is extinguished on a cooker without a thermoelectric safety device,
the gas will leak into the room!
- Always place the burner cap accurately on the burner crown. Make sure the slots in the
burner crown are never blocked.
- Correct choice of cookware allows optimum cooking
time and gas consumption. Cookware diameter is the
most important in this respect.
- If a pot or a pan is too small, the flames reaching over
the edge of its bottom will damage it. Moreover, gas
consumption will be higher.
- Combustion of gas also requires air. If the pot or pan
is too large, there is not enough air and the burning
eciency is decreased.
Gas hob reducer (only with some models) Use the gas
hob reducer when cooking in a container of smaller
diameter. Place it on the grid over the auxiliary burner.
Burner type Container diameter
Large (3.0 kW) 220-260 mm
Normal (1.9 kW) 180-220 mm
Auxiliary (1.9 kW) 120-180 mm
Three-ring (3.5 kW) 220-260 mm

DESCRIPTIONS OF SYSTEMS
(COOKING MODES) AND
COOKING TABLES
If your desired food cannot be found in the cooking table, find information for similar
food. The information displayed applies to cooking in a single level.
An interval of suggested temperature is indicated. Start with a lower temperature setting
and increase it if you find the food is not browned sufficiently.
Cooking times are rough estimates and may vary subject to some conditions.
The symbol * means that the oven should be preheated using the selected cooking
system.
Only preheat the oven if required by the recipe of in the tables in this instruction manual.
Heating an empty oven consumes a lot of energy. Hence, baking several types of pastry
or several pizzas successively will save a lot of energy as the oven will already have been
preheated.
Use dark, black silicon-layered or enamel-coated baking sheets and trays as they conduct
the heat very well.
When using parchment paper, make sure it is resistant to high temperatures.
When cooking larger chunks of meat or pastry, a lot of steam will be generated inside the
oven, which in turn may condense on the oven door. This is a normal phenomenon which
will not affect the operation of the appliance. After the cooking process, wipe the door
and the door glass dry.
Switch off the oven approximately 10 minutes before the end of the cooking process to
save energy by making use of the accumulated heat.
Do not cool the food in a closed oven to prevent condensation (dew).
