before first use
Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the
packaging material. Keep the material (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after
unpacking for any damage, possible from transportation. Clean the pan supports and the burners with warm water
and a mild cleaning detergent. Dry thoroughly. Clean the other parts with a damp cloth. Check that the voltage in your
home corresponds with the voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance and plug it in a socket. Follow the installation
instructions in chapter 8 for installing the hob.

ignition and operation
1. gas supply closed
2. highest flame
3. lowest flame
4. thermocouple
5. ignition
Each control knob has an automatic ignition.
• Press the control knob and turn it anticlockwise.
• Hold the control knob down fully for at least 3 seconds between the highest and the lowest flame. The integrated ignition
ignites the burner and the flame comes on.
• Hold down the control knob for 15 more seconds after the flame is on to activate the thermocouple. Otherwise the flame
extinguishes immediatelty.
• When the burner is not ignited after 15 seconds, wait one minute before trying to ignite it again.
• When the burner accidentally goes out, the thermocouple safety pilot in each burner will close the gas supply (by boiling
over, by drafts, no gas supply, etc.). No flame = no gas!

use
For an optimal result of the burners we recommend the following:
• Always ensure that the flames remain under the pan. When the flames burn around the pan, a lot of energy is lost and the
handles from the pan may also become too hot.
• Use cookware that fit the burners in diameter. This reduces the cooking time.
• Use flat bottomed cookware.
• Always use the right amount of liquid for boiling food and use a lid to reduce the cooking time.
• Do not use pans with a base diameter smaller than 12 cm. Smaller pans are not stable on the pan support.
