USE
Use of the gas hob
Igniting and adjusting
A symbol near the control knob indicates which burner is being
controlled.
Lighting burners with spark ignition
1. Push and turn the control knob counter clockwise until it reaches
the full setting. The burner ignites.
2. The control knob must be held down for
about 5 seconds due to the flame failure
device.
When the burner does not ignite, check whether:
• the burner cap is placed on top of the burner correctly;
• the burner/spark plug is clean and dry.
Each burner can be adjusted continuously between the full and low
positions.
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.
• When frying, stir-frying, heating through large quantities and deep-
frying it is better to use the strong, super-strong or wok burner.
Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the
simmer burner. On its high setting this burner is large enough for
cooking food right through. For all other dishes use the normal
burners.
• 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 (depending on model)
With the wok burner you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature.
