Using the gas cooktop
Switching on the burner
Do not turn the control knob clockwise
past the Off position.
When a control knob is activated, a
spark is developed automatically on all
burners. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault.
You may notice a brief re-ignition (1–
2 clicks) when turning on the
appliance, e.g., because of a draft.
Push in the control knob for the
burner required and turn it
counterclockwise to High.
The ignitor "clicks" and ignites the gas.
If the burner fails to ignite, turn the
control knob to the Off position.
Aerate the room or wait at least
1 minute before trying again.
If the burner does not ignite the
second time, turn the control knob
back to Off and see "Frequently
asked questions".

Switching on during a power
failure
If there has been a power failure,
the automatic re-ignition feature will
not work properly.
Operate the cooktop only under
supervision. If the burner has not
ignited or the flame goes out, turn
the control knob to Off.
Normal and power burners
In case of a power failure, the flame
can be ignited manually.
Push in the control knob and turn it
counterclockwise to High.
Light the emerging gas/air mixture
with a match.
Adjusting the flame
The burners can be variably adjusted
between the lowest and highest flame
settings.
As the outer part of the flame is much
hotter than the center, the tips of the
flames should stay beneath the pan
base. Flame tips which extend beyond
the sides of the pan merely warm up
the air in the room and can damage
pan handles and increase the risk of
injury.
Adjust the flame so that it does not
spread out beyond the sides of the
pan.
