Pay attention to the cookware bottom. The base of
the cookware should not show any sign of curvature.
Due to incorrect temperature monitoring of the hob
caused by the air gap between the cookware and the
temperature sensor underneath the hob, overheating
may occur. The bottom of the cookware must not have
any sharp grooves or sharp edges to avoid scratching
the cooktop.
Place the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly
onto the glass ceramic.
4.3.6 How gas glass ceramic cooktop CKG
works
INFO The cooktop has automatic ignition.
If a cooking zone is switched on, the gas flame generates
heat, which directly heats the base of the cookware. The
gas flame is controlled by a highly accurate electronic
gas control system (E-gas system). Among other things,
servomotors are used to accurately control each
gas burner. These servomotors calibrate themselves
from time to time and typical humming noises can be
heard that are totally normal and do not constitute a
malfunction.
The advantage of this electronic gas control system is the
optimum, repeatable heat regulation, which means that
the selected power levels are identical in every cooking
session. In addition, a clean, constantly increasing flame
is formed at every power level. Furthermore, if necessary,
it can be automatically reignited.
Power levels
The power is adjusted using power levels 1 – 9 and P.
The output of gas cooktops means that food is heated
quickly. A slight adjustment is needed in comparison to
conventional cooking systems when selecting the power
level in order to avoid burning food.
