Warnings 1. Do not allow the flame to extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This instruction is based on safety considerations. 2. Do not forget that the unit becomes hot when in use. Common sense is important. Just because the flame is out, it does not mean parts still cannot be hot. 3. This appliance shall not be used for space heating. This instruction is based on safety considerations. 4. Be sure to disconnect the electrical supply before disassembly of the appliance. 5.
Preface Cooking with your new gas cooker will be even more fun than before. The appliance offers you the following advantages: – Regulation from hot to cold in seconds. – High safety standard thanks to thermal protection elements for all burners.
1. Important notes 1.1 For your safety You must not operate the appliance if it is damaged. When connecting electrical appliances in the proximity of the appliance, make sure that connecting leads do not come into contact with hot cooking surfaces! Observe caution with oils and fats. They may overheat and burn easily. Foodstuffs that are prepared in fat and oil (e.g. French fries) must only be prepared under constant supervision! Technical modifications reserved.
1.3 About use The appliance is intended solely for use in the household and must not be put to any other uses. Use the appliance to prepare meals only. It must not be used to heat up the room in which it is installed. Use of a gas cooker generates heat and humidity in the room where it is installed. This is why attention must be paid to good kitchen ventilation. Ventilation openings must be kept unobstructed.

The appliance features one-hand operation. That is to say, the ignition is activated when the control knob is pressed briefly. After igniting, keep the control knob pressed for around 5-8 seconds more because the heat sensor that opens the gas channel has to warm up first. 2.3 Operating principle The burner has a thermal protection device that prevents unburned gas from escaping in the open position. Off Level 1 Low The total rated thermal load amounts to: 17 000 BTU (5.
3. Operation The cooking positions must only be ignited when all burner parts are fitted. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur on the ignition unit. Switching on (Fig. 5): – Place a pot or a pan on the corresponding cooking position. – Press in the control knob fully and keep it pressed. This activates the ignition. – Turn the control knob to the left to the “high" position. Fig.
4. Cleaning and care 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Fig. 7 Wipe off spilt food immediately, thus ensuring that it cannot burn in on the hob. Caution! The burner gets very hot during operation! Never use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents. Please thoroughly clean the appliance before operating it for the first time and after every use. – Wait until the appliance has cooled down. – Remove the pot grid. – Remove the burner cover and the burner ring.
5. Maintenance 5.1 General The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply during all repair work. In the event of malfunctions, check whether the gas and electricity supply is in proper working order, i.e. the gas valve is open and the plug has been plugged into the socket.

Technical data / Table Technical data (gas) Technical data (electrical) Burners: super strong burner Level 1 low flame < 850 BTU (0.25 kW) Level 2 full inner flame < 1 700 BTU (0.50 kW) Level 3 small outer flame plus level 2 full inner flame3 500 BTU (1.50 kW) Level 4 full flame 17 000 BTU (5.00 kW) Rated consumption Voltage 0.8 W AC 120 V 60 Hz Frequency Technical modifications reserved.
7. Practical tips 7.1 The wok and accessories (not included in the scope of delivery) – The “original wok" is the ideal wok for your gas cooker. – The wok looks like a hollow semisphere with a long handle or wooden handle. It has a rounded base and slanted sides. The thin steel passes the heat swiftly to the inside, but soon cools down again as soon as the flame is set to a lower setting. Therefore, ingredients cannot overcook. – The diameter is between 35 - 40 cm / 14 - 15 3/4” for 4 persons.

8. Assembly instructions 8.1 Important notes Please observe the safety notes and the important notes (Chapter 1). The installing technician is responsible for perfect functioning of the appliance at its installation location. He must explain the operating principle to the user with reference to the operating instructions and must show how to switch of the electricity and gas whenever required.
8.2 Connecting the appliance 103 mm 41/16” 8.2.1 Gas connection 40 mm 19/16” Seal 1/ 2” Fig. 8 8.2.2 Electrical connection G 24” (610 mm) Fig. 9 16 8-12” (200-300 mm) max 8” (210 mm) Gas connection The gas connection must be in a location that permits access to the shut-off valve and which, if applicable, is visible after opening the door of the furniture item.
8.3 Nozzle replacement Changing over to a different gas type Only authorised specialists are permitted to change over to a different gas type. The nozzles needed for the gas type to be set are available as a conversion kit. Please specify the appliance type and the required gas type. – Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. – Remove the pot support, the burner ring, the burner cover and the burner head.
Replacing the low setting nozzles (Fig. 13) The low setting nozzles for the inner (2) and outer (1) burners are located in the gas valve. They must be replaced according to the new gas type and as specified in the low setting nozzle table. Screw in the nozzles fully and check that they are tight (metallic seal). Fig. 13 1 If it should be necessary to correct the low-setting nozzles (1) and (2) as the result of deviating gas types and pressure, the flow rate can be increased by turning to the left.
First air regulation 1 2 distance in mm 3 Fig. 16 First air regulation may be necessary to always achieve a stable and low-noise flame in the event of deviating gas types and pressures. First air regulation for outer burner (Fig. 16) After undoing the screw 2 (7 mm), move the air regulation sleeve 1 in the direction of the nozzle 3 or away from the nozzle up to a maximum distance of 12 mm until the flames burn stably and with low noise. Yellow tips must not be visible in the flames.
