as the flames can climb the sides of the
pan.
~Ensure that the burner is always
covered with a pan.
~Only use cooking utensils suitable
for combiset use.
~Always position pan handles and
utensils inward so they do not extend

Cleaning the combiset
Before using for the first time clean the
appliance as follows:
^Remove any protective foil.
^Wash the removable parts of the gas
burner in a mild solution of warm
water and liquid dish soap.
^Dry and reassemble the parts in the
correct order (see "Cleaning and
care").
^Wipe down the stainless steel
combiset with a suitable cleaner and
dry thoroughly.
Metal components have a protective
coating which may give off a slight odor
the first time your new appliance is
heated.
The harmless odor will dissipate after a
short time and does not indicate a
faulty connection or appliance defect.
Before using the combiset
11

Turning on and off / Regulating
The control knob is used to turn on the
burner and to regulate the strength of
the flame.
ßThe gas supply is turned off
*Ignition setting
&Highest flame
/Lowest flame
The knob must only be turned left to
turn the appliance on and right to
turn it off.
If the knob is :
- turned on without pressing it
down first,
- turned clockwise to turn on, or
- turned counterclockwise to turn
the combiset off,
parts of the combiset might get
damaged. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for these
damages.
Turning on
^To turn on the burner, press the
control knob down and turn it
counterclockwise to the ignition
position ato turn on.
^When the flame ignites, keep the
control pressed in for 8-10 seconds,
and then let go.
If the burner does not ignite or the
flame goes out, turn the control knob to
"ß". Try again after a few seconds.
If the burner still will not ignite after the
second attempt, turn the control knob
to "ß" and see "Frequently asked
questions".
^Adjust the knob to the desired
setting.
Operation
12

Adjusting the flame
The burner can be variably adjusted
between the lowest and highest flame
by turning the control knob.
Since the outer portion of the flame is
much hotter than the center, the flame
should be set so that its tips do not
spread beyond the sides of the pan.
Flame tips which extend beyond the
sides of the pan are hazardous.
Turning off
^Turn the control clockwise to "ß".
This stops the flow of gas and the flame
goes out.
Using the cooktop during a
power failure
If there is an interruption to the
electrical supply, the gas can be
ignited using a match.
^Press the control knob down and turn
it counterclockwise to the ignition
position.
^While holding down the knob, light
the gas at the burner with a match.
When the flame appears, keep the
control knob pressed in for
8 - 10 seconds to allow the Ignition
Safety Control to reach operating
temperature.
Operation
13

Pan size
–Set the combiset to a high flame
when using a large diameter pan and
low flame when using a small
diameter pan.
–Generally, wide / shallow pans will
heat faster and cook more evenly
than narrow / tall ones.
– Using oversized pans may cause the
flames to spread out and damage
the surrounding countertop or other
countertop appliances.
– Do not use small pans with high
flame settings, the flame can climb
the sides of the pan.
– Pots with a smaller diameter than the
burner grates and pots that do not sit
securely (without wobbling) are
hazardous and should not be used.
The burner grates supplied with the
appliance must always be used.
Never place a pan on the burner by
itself.
Suitable pans
Unlike pans used on an electric
combiset, the bases do not need to be
even for good results.
Thick pan bases will give more even
results, as hot spots are reduced due to
better heat distribution.
Thin pan bases will conduct the heat
faster but not as evenly as thick pan
bases. Stir the food frequently to
prevent burning.
You can use a wok without any
additional rings, trivets, etc.
Pans
14

Ignition Safety Control
This gas combiset incorporates an
Ignition Safety Control which stops the
supply of gas if the flame goes out.
^To reignite the burner, turn the
control knob clockwise to “ß”, then
turn on the burner as usual.
This safety feature is not operated by
electricity, it will be active even if the
appliance is in use during a power
failure.
Safety features

countertop.
Never use scouring agents, pads,
abrasive cleaning agents, or strong
