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.

1.

Open the upper cooker cover. The upper cover must remain 

open whilst the cooker is in operation.

2.

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

ignition position

. This starts the ignition process.

3.

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 

þ

 setting and the

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 

8

 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.
