Making settings on the hob

Your hob is equipped with four gas burners. The following

information explains how to light the gas burners and set the

size of flame.

Advance cleaning of burner cup and cap

Clean the burner cap (1) and cup (2) with water and washing-

up liquid. Dry the individual parts carefully.
Place the burner cup and cap back on the burner shell (5).

Ensure that the igniter (3) and flame safety pin (4) are not

damaged.
The nozzle (6) must be dry and clean. Always position the

burner cap exactly over the burner cup.

Igniting the gas burners

Always position the burner cap exactly onto the burner cup. The

openings in the burner cup must remain unobstructed at all

times. All parts must be dry.

Open the upper cooker cover. The upper cover must remain

open whilst the cooker is in operation.

Turn the control for the required hotplate anti-clockwise to the

ignition position

. This starts the ignition process.

Press and hold the hotplate control for 1-3 seconds. Gas

begins to flow out and the gas burner ignites.

The safety pilot is activated. If the gas flame goes out, the gas

supply is automatically cut off by the safety pilot.

Set the required flame size. Between the Off

setting and the

—

setting, the flame is not stable. Therefore, always choose a

setting between the large flame

—

and small flame

If the flame goes out again, repeat the process from step 2.

To finish cooking, turn the hotplate control clockwise to the

Off

position.

The hotplate control should not be turned to the ignition

position for longer than 15 seconds. If the burner does not light

within 15 seconds, wait at least one minute. Then repeat the

ignition process.

Caution!

If, after switching the cooker off, you turn the burner control
while the cooker is still hot, gas will escape. If you do not turn
the hotplate control to the ignition position

within 60

seconds, the gas supply will be cut off.

The gas burner does not ignite

If there is a power cut or if the ignition plugs are damp, you can

light the gas burners with a gas lighter or a match.

Table – Cooking

Select the right pan size for each hotplate. The diameter of the

pot or pan base should be the same as that of the hotplate.
Cooking times may vary depending on the type of food, its

weight and quality. You yourself can best judge the optimal

cooking time.
Use as little water as possible when cooking, so that the food

retains its vitamins and minerals. Select short cooking times so

that the vegetables remain firm and full of nutrients.
