Fire Safety

Save these instructions.

Set the burner control so that the flame does not

extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to

come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or

grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan,

be certain that flammable materials such as window

coverings do not blow over or near the burners or

elements. They could catch on fire.

Always have a working smoke detector near the

kitchen.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may

ignite.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high

settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low

or medium settings.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat

or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,

Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware

appropriate for the size of the surface element.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,

drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires

with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air

vents do not push the flames so that they extend

beyond the edges of the pan.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,

nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the

appliance.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN

THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid,

cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the

burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If

the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE

AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be

burned.

c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths

or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

‒ You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,

and you already know how to operate it.

‒ The fire is small and contained in the area

where it started.

‒ The fire department is being called.

‒ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation

system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach

through fire to turn it off.

Gas Safety

To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block

appliance air vents.

Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off

valve is located.

For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean

and dry.

If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows

and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the

appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Burning gas cooking

fuel generates some by-products which are on the list

of substances which are known by the State of

California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. To

minimize exposure to these substances, always

operate this unit according to the instructions

contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

7

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on.

Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is

in use.

If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper

job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not

perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and,

therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a “do-

it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found

with the burner control in the ON position and this

must be done by a qualified service technician. See

Warning, page 1.

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly

positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in

use. Each of the feet must be placed into the

corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a

grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.

Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper lighting

performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean

these when there is a boilover or when the burner

does not light even thought the electronic ignitors

click.

WARNING

To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all

burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.

WARNING

Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an

extra low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the

extra low burner automatically reignites the ignitor at

the burner will spark.

WARNING

Use this appliance only for its intended use as

described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance

as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so

may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and

overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance

for storage.

WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven

bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as

aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the

oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire

hazard.

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are

dark in color. Areas near surface units may become

hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other

flammable materials contact surface units or areas

near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing

the cooktop.

WARNING

Risk of burns

Only close the appliance cover once the appliance

has cooled down. Never turn on the appliance with the

appliance cover closed. Don't set down food on

appliance cover or use it for keeping food warm.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-

up of pressure may cause the container to burst and

cause injury.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or

when flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,

Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).

Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when

necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil

slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil

is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat

fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie

long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not

wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such

as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the

appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents

or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in

safe practices by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang

on any part of an appliance, especially a door,

warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage

the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially

causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless

closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets

should not be left alone or unattended in the area

where the appliance is in use. They should never be

allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the

appliance is in use.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an

appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the

backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to

reach items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe

Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires

the Governor of California to publish a list of

substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm, and requires

businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to

such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and

the elimination of soil during self-cleaning can

generate some by-products which are on the list. To

minimize exposure to these substances, always

operate this unit according to the instructions

contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

WARNING

The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small

amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene,

Formaldehyde and Soot. To minimize exposure to

these substances the burners should be adjusted by a

certified installer or agency to ensure proper

combustion. Ensure proper ventilation with an open

window or use a ventilation fan or hood when cooking

with gas. Always operate the unit according to the

instructions in this manual.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the self-cleaning

cycle. Always operate the unit according to the

instructions in this manual.

After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow

the cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and

burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper

operation.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning

food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the

pan.

Use Proper Pan Size.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion

of the heating element or burner to direct contact and

may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware

having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface

heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface units of different size. Proper

relationship of cookware to heating element or burner

will also improve efficiency.

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do

not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the

edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires,

spills and burns.

Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend

beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship

of cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.

Tips for saving energy

▯ Use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven

bottoms increase energy consumption.

▯ For small amounts, use a small pot. A large pot

that isn't very full requires a lot of energy.

▯ Always cover pots with a lid that fits. When

cooking without a lid, you need four times more

energy.

▯ Cook with little water. This saves energy. The

vitamins and minerals in vegetables are

preserved.

▯ Switch promptly back to a lower setting for

cooking.

13

By slowly turning the control knob, the flame size can

be steplessly adjusted between full and low flame.

Notes

‒ If you have large pots standing on the cooking

positions, you should ignite with a small flame.

‒ The electronic system opens the supply of gas

when you switch on the gas cooktop and this

produces a brief noise. This is normal.

‒ The electronic system runs a self-test every time

the gas cooktop is switched on. The electrode

ignites the burner after a few seconds.

‒ The appliance is not operable during a power

outage.

Electronic flame monitoring and

automatic re-ignition

For your safety, the cooktop is equipped with an

electronic flame monitoring system. The appliance re-

ignites the burner automatically if the flame goes out

during operation (e.g. through a draft of air).

If re-ignition is unsuccessful (e.g. the burner has been

soiled by overboiling), the appliance turns off the

supply of gas and an audible signal sounds.

Turn the control knob to the 0 position. Wait until the

appliance has cooled down sufficiently and then

check whether all burner parts are correctly fitted.

Check whether the burner or the electrode is soiled

(see "Troubleshooting").

Note the following when igniting the cold appliance to

a full flame:

Depending on the type of gas and gas pressure, it is

possible that the electrode ignites and then switches

off again although a flame is present. Turn the control

knob to the 0 position and then to the low flame. After

igniting, wait for 30 - 60 seconds until the burner has

warmed up. You can now use your appliance in the

manner to which you are accustomed.

Turning off

Fully turn the control knob to the 0 position on the

right. The appliance electronics closes the gas supply.

9 WARNING

Risk of burns

Heat builds up when the appliance cover is

closed. Let appliance cool down prior to closing

the cover. Never switch on the appliance with

the cover closed. Do not use the appliance

cover to keep food warm or as a surface for

placing objects on it.

Safety lock

For your protection, the appliance has a safety shut-off

feature. The appliance switches off after six hours if it

is not operated during this time.

Even after a power outage, the appliance stays

switched off. A prolonged audible signal is sounded.

Turn all control knobs to 0. You can then operate the

appliance in the way to which you are accustomed.

Settings table and tips

Tips for cooking and roasting

The values in the settings table serve as mere

guidelines, since more or less heat may be required,

depending on the type and condition of the foods, as

well as the size and fullness of the pot.

The high output causes grease and oil to heat up

quickly. Don't leave food unattended while frying;

grease can catch fire and burn the food.

The rear cooking zone should be used to prepare

foods requiring longer cooking times.

For parboiling, frying and deep-frying large portions,

you should use the high-output burner.
