 If necessary, reduce the power level on the cooktop
extractor when you turn on the gas cooktop.
 Do not use the gas cooktop without cookware. The
gas flame is protected from the airflow of the cooktop
extractor by the geometry of the pan supports and the
cookware.
INFO Flames can set fire to or damage the grease filter
in the cooktop extractor and the air-channelling
components. Never flambé food when using a
cooktop extractor.
6.2 General operating instructions
The cooktop is controlled using the control knobs.
Each cooking zone has its own control knob. The front
cooking zone is controlled using the left-hand knob and
the back cooking zone with the right-hand knob.
There are 9 power levels, one power setting, 3 heat
retention levels and various functions available for each
cooking zone.

6.3 Operating the cooktop
INFO The cooktop has automatic ignition.
INFO If it does not ignite, the procedure can be
repeated using the touch surface. It will then be
ignited automatically.
INFO If it does not ignite, a beep will be heard and the
power level display will flash.
INFO The tips of the flames should remain under
the base of the pot. Protruding flame tips emit
heat into the air unnecessarily and can damage
pan handles and air-channelling components
(cooktop extractor) and increase the risk of burns.
Furthermore, the outer part of the gas flame is
much hotter than the core.
INFO Protect your hands when the appliance is hot
by using oven gloves or potholders. Only use
dry gloves or potholders. Wet or damp fabrics
conduct water more easily and can cause steam
burns. Ensure that these fabrics do not get
too close to the flames. Do not use oversized
potholders, tea towels or similar.
INFO Grease splashes and other flammable (food)
residues on the cooktop can catch fire. Remove
them as soon as possible.
 Do not put cookware with an uneven base on the pan
support.
 Never heat empty cookware.
 Always place the cookware on the pan support
provided. Cookware must not be placed directly on the
burner.
 Do not use roasters, pans or stone grills that are so
large that they cover several burners. The resulting
heat accumulation can damage the cooktop.
 Ensure that the burner parts and pan supports are
positioned correctly.
 Do not switch the gas cooktop on until all burner parts
are correctly assembled.
 Ensure that the burner flame does not protrude from
under the base of the cookware and rise up the outside
of the pot.
 Do not keep any highly flammable objects near the
cooktop.
For maximum performance with minimum gas
consumption, we recommend:
 Use cookware with a base that covers the flame
entirely so that this does not burn beyond the base.
 Use suitable pans on each gas burner.
 Centrally position the cookware on the gas hob.
 Once the pan contents are simmering, set the gas
burner to the lowest power level (small flame).
 Adjust the power level of the cooktop extractor to the
power level of the gas cooktop.
6.1.3 Using the gas cooktop with a cooktop
extractor
If the gas cooktop is used together with a cooktop
extractor, the airflow of the extractor can affect the gas
flame.
 Avoid using a high power level on the cooktop
extractor when the gas cooktop is set to a low power
level.
