USE
Using the gas hob
•
Regularly check that the burner caps and burner rings are correctly positioned on the burner
bases. Incorrect positioning can result in poor ignition, poor combustion or damage to the
caps.
•
Over time, the enamel on the support point can become burnt-in because the burner heats
the pan support very strongly. This is unavoidable and is therefore not covered by the
guarantee.
•
Always ensure that the flames remain under the pan. A lot of energy is lost when flames
burn around the outside of the pan. The handles will also become too hot. Do not use pans
with a base diameter smaller than 12 cm. Smaller pans will not be stable.

•
When frying, stir-frying, cooking through large quantities, or deep-frying, it is best to use
the rapid burner.
•
Preparing sauces, simmering and boiling can be done best on the auxiliary burner. On its
high setting this burner is large enough for cooking food right through.
•
Cook with the lid on the pan. This way you save up to 50% energy.
•
Use pans with a flat, clean, dry base. Pans with a flat base stand stably and pans with a
clean base transfer the heat more effectively to the food.
•
Keep the lid on the saucepan while cooking and save energy. Clean saucepans absorb heat
more efficiently.
Pans
The recommended pan base diameters are:
▷
for the rapid burner, at least 22-26 cm;
for the semi-rapid burner, at least 14-22 cm;
▷
for the auxiliary burner, at least 12-18 cm.

Flame failure device
•
The flame failure device ensures that the gas supply is closed if the flame goes out during
the cooking process.
•
Hold the control knob pressed in at the high position for approximately 5 seconds.
The flame failure device will switch on.
