Introduction gas hob
This gas hob has been designed for the true cooking enthusiast. The
differences in burner capacity allow you to cook any type of dish. The
control buttons have an integrated spark iginition, which means that
you need only one hand to ignite and operate the burners.
Both the GC32TB and the GC31WTB are fitted with a flame failure
device, which ensures that the gas supply is shut off if the flame goes
out during the cooking process.
This manual explains optimum use of the gas hob. In addition to
information on operation, you will also find background information
that may be useful to you when using this product.

What you should pay attention to
• Ensure that there is adequate ventilation during use. Keep natural
ventilation openings open.
• When using the hob for long periods, extra ventilation is necessary.
Open a window for instance or install a mechanical fan.
• Use the hob only for preparing dishes. The appliance is not suitable
for space heating.
• Never flambé under an extractor hood. The high flames can cause a
fire, even if the fan is switched off.
• The burner parts are hot during and immediately after use. Do not
touch them, and avoid contact with non-heat-resistant materials.
• Never immerse hot burner parts in cold water. The rapid cooling
can damage the enamel.
• The distance from the pan to a knob or non-heat-resistant wall
should always be greater than two centimetres. In case of smaller
distances the high temperature may cause the knobs or wall to
discolour and/or distort.
• Always use the pan supports and suitable cooking utensils.
• Always place the pan on the pan support. Placing the pan directly
on the burner head can result in dangerous situations.
• Aluminium trays or foil are not suitable as cooking utensils. They
can become burnt into the burners and pan supports.
• The hob can only function effectively if the burner parts have been
assembled using the guide ridges.
• Ensure that the pan supports lie flat on the glass panel. Only then
can the pans be positioned stably.
Safe use
• The device will become hot during use and will remain so for some
time after it has been switched off. So please be sure not to touch
the device while it is hot.
• Always wear oven gloves or use oven cloths when operating the
device. Keep oven gloves or oven cloths away from the flame.
• Do not warm closed tins and such like on the hob. There will be a
buildup of pressure that will cause tins to explode. You might get
injured or scalded.
• The device is not to be positioned nor used outdoors.
SAFETY GAS HOB

GB 8
• Do not use the device as a worktop. The device may be switched
on by accident or still be hot, which means objects could melt,
become hot or catch fire.
• Never cover the device with a cloth or something similar. If the
device is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.
• Be extra careful when using oils or fats. Overheated oil or fats may
catch fire. Risk of fire!
• Under no circumstances should you use water to try and extinguish
the flames if the oil or fat were to catch fire! Extinguish the flames
with a suitable lid, a damp cloth or some such object.
• If there is a drawer underneath the device, without an intermediate
bottom, this should not be used to store highly flammable objects/
materials.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or a steam cleaner to clean the
device. This could cause a short circuit.
Children
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Never let children play with this device. Children are not to be
allowed near the device unsupervised.
• The device will become hot during use and will remain hot for some
time after it has been switched off.
• Do not keep objects in cupboards above or behind the device that
children might find interesting.
• Children may sustain burns when they pull pots or pans off the

GB 10
Optimal use of the hob
Always ensure that the flames remain below the pan. If flames
play around the pan, a lot of energy is lost. In addition, the
handles can get too hot. Do not use pans with a base diameter
less than 12 cm. Smaller pans will not be stable.
• When frying, stir-frying, heating through large quantities and deep-
frying it is best to use the rapid or wok burner.
• Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the
low setting of the semi-rapid burner or the wok burner. On its high
setting the semi-rapid burner is large enough for cooking food right
through.
• Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
• Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand
stably and pans with a clean base transfer the heat more effectively
to the food.
Wok burner (GC31WTB)
With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature.
For this purpose it is important:
• to cut the ingredients into strips, slices or pieces before cooking;
• to use good-quality oil, such as olive, maize, sunflower or peanut oil
when stir-frying. A small quantity is enough. Butter and margarine
on the other hand will burn because of the high heat;
• to place the dishes with the longest cooking time in the pan first,
so that at the end of the cooking time all ingredients are cooked
al dente at the same time.

Using the wok auxiliary support
The auxiliary support (supplied with the hob, or available as a separate
accessory) is used to properly stabilize a round-based wok.
Place the auxiliary support on the wok support as shown in the
following illustration.
Using the reduction support
The reduction support (supplied with the hob, or available as a separate
accessory) enables you to use very small pans.
COMFORTABLE COOKING GAS HOB

GB 12
General
Your appliance has been manufactured from high-grade materials,
which are easy for you to clean.
• Regular cleaning immediately after use prevents over-cooked food
being able to become ingrained and cause stubborn stains that are
difficult to remove. Use a mild cleaning agent.
• Clean the control knobs, burners and pan supports first and then
the glass panel. This avoids the glass panel getting dirty again
during cleaning.
• Clean the spark plugs preferably with a cloth. Do this carefully. the
spark plug can become defective. The sparkplug will only operate
correctly in a dry environment. If the plug is very dirty, you may
clean the point with a tiny brush.
• Set the pan supports down vertically, without sliding them over the
glass panel.
• Assemble the burner parts, paying attention to the cut-out sections
for the spark-plug and thermocouple. Make sure that the burner
parts lie flat.
Cleaning
Cleaning the pan support
Do not clean the pan supports in the dishwasher. The enamel on the
pan supports is suitable for cleaning by dishwasher. However, the
connection with the rubber feet is not. Moreover, the pan supports
might show some discoloration if they were washed in the dishwasher.
If the rubber feet are lost, the pan support is likely to damage the
glass panel.
Stubborn stains on enamel (pan supports, burner caps)
Remove with a non-abrasive cream. Never use scouring powder,
scouring pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleansing agents.
Cleaning removable burner components
Burner parts should not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The parts may
be damaged by the dishwasher detergent! The removable burner
components (including wok) are best cleaned with a mild cleaning
product and a soft cloth. In the case of obstinate stains you can soak
the parts in hot suds. Never use scouring powder, scouring pads,
sharp objects or aggressive cleansing agents.
MAINTENANCE GAS HOB

GB 13
Brass wok burner parts
A few parts of the work burner are made from brass. It is normal for the
colour of the brass to change as a result of the high temperatures that
occur when cooking with a wok.
Stubborn stains on the glass hob
Clean the glass hob with a cleansing agent intended specifically for
ceramic hobs. Water stains or limescale are most easily cleaned using
a non-abrasive limescale remover.
Keradur®burner bases
The burner bases have a unique Keradur®surface coating.
The special dirt-repelling coating contains a ceramic filling which
makes cleaning easier and enhances the durability of the burners
considerably. The burner bases are best cleaned with a mild cleaning
product and a soft cloth.

Introduction induction hob
This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. 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.
For optimum safety the induction hob is equipped with several
temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows
which cooking zones are still hot.
This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the
induction hob. In addition to information about operation, you will also
find background information that can assist you in using this product.
You will also find cooking tables and maintenance tips.
Read the chapters about your induction hob thorougly before
using the appliance, and store these instructions in a safe place for
future reference.

What you should pay attention to
• Induction cooking is extremely safe. Various safety devices have
been incorporated in the hob such as a residual heat indicator
and a cooking time limiter. There are nevertheless a number of
precautions you should take.
Connection and repair
• This appliance may only be connected by a qualified installer.
• Never open the casing. The casing may only be opened by the
service technician.
• Disconnect the electricity from the appliance before starting any
repair work. Preferably unplug the appliance, switch the (automatic)
fuse(s) off or, in the event of a permanent connection, set the
switch in the power supply lead to zero.
During use
• Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5 °C.
• This cooking appliance is designed for household use. It is to be
used for food preparation only.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a “new
smell”. This is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated the smell will
soon disappear.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the heating time
will be incredibly short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are
using a zone on a high setting.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation while the hob is in use. Keep all
natural ventilation openings open.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry. The hob itself is protected against
overheating but the pan will get very hot indeed and could be
damaged. The guarantee does not cover any damage caused by a
pan boiling dry.
• Do not use the cooking area as storage space.
• Ensure that there is several centimetres clearance between the hob
and the contents of the drawer.
• Do not keep anything combustible in the drawer under the hob.
• Make sure that flexes of electrical appliances, such as a mixer,
cannot touch the hot cooking zone.
SAFETY INDUCTION HOB

GB 20
• The zones heat up during use and stay hot for a while afterwards.
Keep young children away from the hob during and immediately
after cooking.
• Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated. Do not stand
too close to the pan. Should oil catch fire, never try to extinguish
the fire with water. Put a lid on the pan immediately and switch the
cooking zone off.
• Never flambé food under the cooker hood. The high flames could
cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.
• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not unbreakable. A spice
jar or pointed utensil falling on it, for example, could cause it to
break.
• Stop using the hob if a break or crack appears. Switch the
appliance off immediately, unplug it to avoid electric shocks, and
call the service department.
• Never put any metal objects such as baking trays, biscuit tins,
saucepan lids or cutlery on the cooking zone. These can heat up
extremely quickly and cause burns.
• Keep magnetizable objects (credit cards, bank cards, floppy disks,
etc.) away from the appliance. We advise anyone with a pacemaker
to consult their cardiologist before using an induction hob.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the hob.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking zone
automatically stops. Accustom yourself to stop the cooking zone or
hob manually to avoid unintended switching on of the induction hob.
• Never let an empty pan stand on a hotplate that is switched on.
While the hotplate is protected and will switch itself off, the pan will
be extremely hot. The pan could be damaged.
• A small object like a pan that is too small (diameter of bottom
smaller than 10 cm), a fork or a knife will not be recognised by
the appliance. The display continues to flash and the hob will not
switch on.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote-control system.
