energy and prevent pan damage:
ÄGas burners
Gas bur ne r s This chapter explains how to set a hotplate. The table
shows heat settings and cooking times for various
meals.
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 lid precisely on the burner
cup. The openings in the burner cup must remain
unobstructed at all times. All parts must be dry.
1. Open the top cooker cover. The top cover must
remain open for as long as the hob is in operation.
2. Turn the knob for the required burner anti-clockwise
to the ignition position 8. The ignition process starts.
3. Press and hold the burner knob for 1-3 seconds.
Gas begins to flow out and the gas burner ignites.
The flame failure
device is activated. If the gas flame goes out, the
gas supply is automatically shut off by the flame
failure device.
4. Set the desired flame size. Between the þ Off
position and the — position, the flame is not stable.
Therefore, always choose a position between the —
large flame and ˜ small flame.
5. Check whether the flame is lit. If it is not, repeat the
process from step 2.
Use pans which are the
right size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame
must not touch the sides of
the pan.
Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on
the hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick,
flat base.
Do not cook without using
a lid and make sure the lid
is properly fitted. This
wastes energy.
Always place the ovenware
centrally over the burner.
Otherwise, there is a risk
that it may tip over.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on
the burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps
are correctly positioned
before using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on
the hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and
do not place excessive
weight on it.
Never use two burners or
heat sources to heat one
single pan.
Do not use grill pans,
earthenware casserole
dishes, etc. for a long
period of time on
maximum power.
