Burners ignite and set
Before you ignite the burner verify that all components are mounted in the right way to prevent unwanted interference.
Before igniting the burner you need to place a pan on the hob. Each burner can be set easily between high and low.
Igniting
To ignite the burner you need to activate the spark ignition. You do this by pressing the control knob all the way and hold.
Turn the control knob to the left (Figure 5). Keep the button pressed for another 5 to 8 seconds. This way the temperature
sensor warms and gas can be distributed. You can regulate the size of the flame by turning the control knob slowly between
the high and low position (Figure 5 and 6).
Caution: If the flame does not ignite after 2 to 4 seconds, you need to return the knob to the low position (Figure 6).
A small flame often kindles faster than a large flame.
Turning off
To turn off the burner, turn the control knob back to the state displayed on Figure 4.

5 Optimal use of the PITT
®
cooking system
• Avoid flames rising around the pan to minimise the loss of energy. Be careful as the handles of the pans can become
hot.
• To cook large quantities you best use the stir-fry cooker. For preparation of sauces and simmering dishes best use the
side burner. To cook through it should be on the highest level.
• Cooking with the lid on the pan conserves energy.
• Use cookware with a flat, clean and dry bottom. Flat pans are more stable and a clean bottom makes for a better heat
transfer.
High burner
With the cooker you can prepare dishes at a very high temperature. It is important, however, to pay attention to a number of
things:
• Make sure you have the ingredients cut in advance.
• Use an oil of good quality for frying, for example: olive oil, sunflower oil or peanut oil. Do not use butter or margarine
as these will be overheated and blackened by high temperatures.
• To ensure all the ingredients are ready at the same time, you must put the ingredients with the longest preparation time
in the pan first.

6 Maintenance of the PITT
®
cooking system
PITT
®
cooking is manufactured with high-grade materials, which can be very easily cleaned.
Please take the following into consideration:
1. Never clean in the dishwasher as the detergent can affect the materials. Avoid cleaning with too much moisture as the
can enter the burner outlet and cause damage.
2. Use a cloth to clean the electric spark ignition (fig. 7). In case of heavy use it can be cleaned with the point of a fine
brush. Do this carefully as an accidental change in the distance between the burner and spark ignition may result in the
burner being damaged or failing to ignite.
3. Place the pan support directly onto the burners without scratching your countertop.
4. Assemble the burner parts via the centring cams in each part (see fig. 8).
5. Clean the cooker immediately after use. This prevents overcooked food settling on the burner and becoming difficult to
remove.
6. Start with cleaning the buttons, burners and pan support. Then clean the countertop to prevent it from being stained
again.
7. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean the removable burner parts. Stubborn stains on pan carriers and burner
tops are best removed with a liquid cleanser.
8. Never use scouring powders, pads, sharp objects or aggressive cleaning agents.
9. For maintenance and cleaning of the countertop refer to the manual of the particular product.
Caution: The PITT
®
cooking system must not be steam cleaned or high-pressure cleaned. If cleaned this way the electri-
cal safety is not ensured.
Caution: Never unscrew the screws of the heat shield(s) (see fig. 8a).
