en Installation and connection
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch
the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time
ends.
¡ There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking
the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from
the cooking compartment.
¡ Accessories that are not being used do not need to
be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
¡ This saves the energy that would otherwise be re-
quired to defrost it.
Note:
The appliance requires:
¡ A maximum of 1 W when the appliance is in opera-
tion with the display switched on
¡ A maximum of 0.5 W when the appliance is in oper-
ation with the display switched off
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
4 Installation and connection
You can find out where and how best to install your ap-
pliance here. You will also learn how to connect your
appliance to the power supply.
4.1 Gas connection
Only an authorised expert or a licensed customer ser-
vice technician may install the appliance in accordance
with the instructions specified under "Gas connection
and conversion to a different gas type".
¡ The settings for configuring your appliance can be
found on the rating plate on the rear of the appli-
ance. The gas type set at the factory is marked with
an asterisk (*).
¡ Find out about the local supply conditions regarding
the gas type and gas pressure before installing the
appliance, and ensure that the gas setting for the
appliance complies with this information.
¡ Connect and install this appliance in accordance
with the applicable to the installation instructions.
¡ Do not connect this appliance to a waste gas main
on the combustion products. Do not connect this
appliance to an exhaust gas outlet. Comply with all
ventilation regulations.
¡ Establish the gas supply using a permanent, non-
elastic connection, such as a gas pipe or a flexible
safety gas hose.
¡ If a flexible safety gas hose is used, ensure that the
hose is not jammed or squeezed. Keep the hose
away from hot surfaces.
8
Choose a burner roughly the same size as your pan.
Centre the cookware on the hob.
Tip: Cookware manufacturers often give the upper
diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the
base diameter.
¡ Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
¡ Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡ When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid.
¡ You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases.
¡ Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
¡ Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
¡ The more water that is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
¡ If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
¡ On some appliances, you can connect the gas pipe
to the gas pipe or flexible safety gas hose on the
right-hand or the left-hand side of the appliance. If
necessary, you can change the connection side.
The connection must have a free-standing and eas-
ily accessible locking device.
Target appliance operating pressure
¡ You can find the target operating pressure for your
appliance on the rating plate on the rear of the ap-
pliance.
¡ All the data on your appliance's rating plate relates
to these pressure values.
¡ The manufacturer is not responsible for results, per-
formance or any risk caused by operating the appli-
ance at different values.
WARNING ‒ Risk of explosion!
Escaping gas may cause an explosion. If the gas pres-
sure in your distributing pipes is more than 20% higher
than the values specified on the appliance's rating
plate, a gas leak can occur.
For your own safety, it is imperative that you operate
▶
the appliance with a suitable gas governor.
If you do not know what the gas pressure in your
▶
gas distributing pipes is, please ask your local gas
company.
Connection, maintenance and setting of the gas
▶
governor must be carried out by an authorised in-
stallation specialist.
