4

•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.
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.
•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.
5

•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 pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the
hob.
•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.
•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.
ELECTRIC SHOCK!
WARNING! In case of hotplate glass breakage:
•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.
6

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.
Safe use
•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.
7

•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.
•Clean the burner parts regularly for the safe and correct
operation of the burners.

Use
Before first use
BGH6xxA/B:
Turn on the electric heating elements (without a pan) for 3-5 minutes at maximum power. During this
time, the protective coating forms a durable layer on the electric heating elements. There may appear
some smoke the first time the elements are heating up.
BGR6xxA/B:
Clean the heating elements with a damp cloth.
Turn on the electric heating elements (without a pan) for 3-5 minutes at maximum power.
During use
BGH6xxA/B
Stainless steel parts around the electric heating elements may discolour due to the thermal load during
cooking.
WARNING!
After turning the electric heating elements off it will remain hot for a prolonged period of time.
Avoid contact with the electric heating elements during this time.
BGR6xxA/B:
The temperature of the heating elements is internally controlled by constantly switching the element
on and off. When the heating element is turned on, a clear red glow is present.
When the heating element is set to a low heating setting, the element is switched off more frequently
and for a longer period of time.
WARNING!
After turning the electric heating elements off it will remain hot for a prolonged period of time.
This is indicated by the residual heat indicator. Avoid contact with the electric heating elements
during this time.

Electric heating elements
WARNING!
BGH6xxA/B & BGR6xxA/B
•The distance between the pan and a 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 keep the pans within the edges of the hob.
•The bottom surface of the pans and the electric heating elements should always be clean
and dry to ensure good heat conduction and prevent damage to the cooking surface.
•When cooking in a pot made of refractory and heat-resistant glass or porcelain, follow the
instructions of the manufacturer.
•Make sure the pan always has enough fluids in them. Empty pans may cause the hob to
overheat, resulting in a damaged worktop or hob.
WARNING!
BGR6xxA/B
•Do not use pans with a rough bottom as they may scratch the cooking surface. Sand (e.g.,
vegetables) may scratch the cooking surface.
•Do not move the dish on the cooking surface, this may result in scratches.
•The cooktop is solid but not resistant to pinpoint strikes. Make sure that no hard and/or sharp
objects fall on it as it may damage the surface.
•Sugar and sweet foods can greatly damage the glass-ceramic surface. Remove them
immediately with the scraper to avoid damage to the surface, even if the hob is still warm.
•Do not cook on the cooking surface in a thin-walled aluminium pan and foil, as well as plastic
containers. These materials can melt and damage the hob.

Cleaning:
We recommend that you clean the appliance after each use. This prevents that overcooked food can
damage the glass surface.
BGH6xxA/B
Daily cleaning
Use warm water with some dishwashing detergent to clean the area around the electric heating
elements. Before doing so, use a sponge to soften any stubborn residues.
Heavy polluted electric heating elements
All dirty heating elements should be cleaned thoroughly immediately after use when the heating
elements are cooled down. If the heating elements are less stained, it suffices to wipe them with a
damp cloth soaked in water and some detergent. If the element is heavily soiled, use a steel sponge
(wire scrubber) soaked with the detergent. After cleaning, the heating elements should always be
wiped dry.
Salt-containing liquids dished that have boiled over, or moisture can damage the heating elements.
Therefore, always wipe the heating elements clean and dry.
Maintenance
To condition, the electric heating elements, occasionally use some sewing machine oil, or conventional
products for cleaning and care, available in the market. Never use butter, bacon/lard, or a similar
substance (risk of corrosion). If the heating element is slightly warm, the detergent will penetrate the
pores more quickly.
BGR6xxA/B
Daily cleaning
Use a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent (washing-up liquid) to clean the appliance.
Dry the appliance with a paper towel or a cloth.
15

Heavily polluted glass
1.. Immediately remove any food remains, burned grease, sugar or stubborn stains from the
glass-ceramic hob using a scraper, even if the hob is still hot! Sugar and/or other food-related remains
may permanently damage the glass-ceramic surface.
•Hold the scraper at the correct angle (45° to 60°) relative to the glass. Gently press the scraper
against the glass and slide it over the surface to remove the dirt. Make sure the plastic handle of
the scraper (in some models) does not come into contact with a hot heating element.
•Do not press the scraper perpendicularly against the glass.
•Do not scratch the hob surface with the tips of the scraper blade. This can cause permanent
scratches in the glass.
2.. After you have removed the stubborn stains from the glass, use the steps of the daily cleaning to
clean the hob.
3.. If the cleaning results are not to your satisfaction you can repeat the above cleaning steps as often
as needed.
WARNING!
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, because they can cause scratches.
Do not use steel wool, scourers or any type of sharp object to clean the appliance.
The hob can still be very hot due to the cooking process! Do not touch the surface directly. If
desired use gloves to prevent burning while cleaning directly after cooking.
On/Off- & Residual heat indicator
BGH6xxA/B:
1. On/Off indicator:
