Before using the cooktop Cleaning the cooktop Before using for the first time clean the appliance as follows: ^ Wash the gas burner assembly with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. ^ Wipe dry and reassemble the parts in the proper order (see “Cleaning and care”). ^ Wipe the cooktop with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. 10 Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time your new appliance is heated.
Using the cooktop Fast-Ignition-System Auxiliary / Normal / Fast burner The gas cooktops are equipped with a Fast-Ignition-System which incorporates the following features: – The control knob can be released once it is turned to the largest flame symbol. – If the flame goes out during use, e.g. from a draft, the burner will automatically reignite. If reignition is unsuccessful, the gas supply will automatically be cut (see "Safety feature").
Using the cooktop Turning on Turning off ^ To light a burner press down and turn the corresponding control knob counterclockwise to the largest flame symbol and release the knob. The ignitor will click and ignite the gas. ^ Turn the control knob clockwise to "ß". The ignition process lasts approx. 8 - 10 seconds. The flame should light within 4 seconds. The Fast-IgnitionSystem will click a few seconds after the flame is lit to ensure the safety system is activated.
Using the cooktop Regulating the wok burner The inner and outer burners are both controlled by one control knob. There is a stop at the 6 o’clock position that requires you to press the knob down while turning it in order to get from the high flame to the low flame zone. ^ To reduce the flames from a high to low setting, turn the control knob counterclockwise until you feel resistance. Press the knob down to pass the stop, then release the pressure and set the cooktop to the desired setting.
Using the cooktop Pan size Suitable pans – Set the cooktop to a high flame when using a large diameter pan and low flame when using small diameter pans. Unlike pans used on an electric cooktop, the bases do not need to be even for good results. – Generally, wide / shallow pans will heat quicker and cook more evenly than narrow / tall ones. – Using oversized pans may cause the flames to spread out and damage the surrounding countertop or other countertop appliances.
Using the cooktop Safety feature This appliance is equipped with an Ignition Safety Control. This control cuts the gas supply if the flame goes out and reignition is unsuccessful. ^ To reignite the burner, turn the control knob to “ß”, then follow the procedure outlined in “Turning on and off / Regulating”. This safety feature is not operated by electricity, it will be active even if the appliance is in use during a power failure.
Cleaning and care Grates, Control Knobs Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this cooktop. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and its components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. ^ Let the appliance cool to a safe temperature before removing the grates. ^ Clean the grates and knobs with a sponge and a mild solution of warm water and liquid dish soap.
Cleaning and care Burner The burner can be dismantled and cleaned when completely cool. Reassembling Auxiliary, Normal and Fast burner Dismantling and cleaning ^ Remove the burner parts and wash them in a solution of warm water and liquid dish soap. ^ Dry them thoroughly. Make sure that the flame holes are clean and completely dry. The shiny surfaces of the burner caps will dull with time and usage. This is normal and will not affect the operation of the cooktop.
Cleaning and care Reassembling the wok burner Be careful not to mix up the parts. Make sure that all the locating tabs and notches align exactly. ^ Place the burner head, c, onto the burner base, d, so that the ignitor, e, and the Ignition Safety Control, f, extend through their respective holes in the burner head. The burner head must click into place correctly. ^ Replace the burner ring, b. ^ Replace the burner cap, a.

Installation Instructions To prevent accidents and machine damage read these instructions before installation or use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Installation The minimum distances given in these Installation instructions are to combustible surfaces, and must be observed to ensure safe operation. Failure to do so increases the risk of fire. The cabinetry and venting hood should be installed first to prevent damage to the cooktop. recommended Gas appliances should only be installed in a well ventilated area. The countertop must be bonded with heat resistant (212 °F/100 °C) adhesive to prevent distortion or dissolving.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The cooktop must not be installed over a dishwasher, washer, dryer, refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by the cooktop may damage them. Safety distances above the appliance Deep fat fryers must not be installed next to gas cooktops. Gas flames can ignite splattering oil. A distance of at least 12" (305 mm) should be maintained between these two appliances. The minimum distance between two cooktops must be 4" (100 mm).
Appliance dimensions a Building-in depth b Mains connection box c Gas connection R 1/2" NPT 24
Installation ^ Prepare the work top cut-out as shown in the diagram. Rember to maintain the minimum safety distances to combustible surfaces: - 2 3/4" (70 mm) between the cooktop and the back wall and - 12" (305 mm) between the cooktop and a side wall or tall unit to the right or left of the cooktop. (See "Important Safety instructions"). ^ Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable heat-resistant sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture.
Installation Setting the cooktop into place Securing the cooktop ^ Screw the gas regulator onto the nipple underneath the cooktop. (See "Gas Connection - Gas pressure regulator"). ^ Feed the power cord through the cut-out to the power outlet. ^ Set the cooktop in the cut-out and center it. ^ Install the cooktop so that the power cord and gas piping do not come in contact with any portion of the cooktop which may become hot during use.
Installation Sealing The cooktop must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient enough seal. If the cooktop is sealed into position, the countertop or the appliance may be damaged if the cooktop needs to be removed for maintenance or service.
