Replace the nozzles using the appropriate wrench
2.
and tighten them carefully to guarantee the seal.
Ensure that the nozzle does not become detached
during removal or fastening.
3 Preventing material damage
ATTENTION!
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
Never cover the stainless steel gas cooktop, for ex-
▶
ample with aluminium foil or oven protectors.
Only use the accessories specified.
▶
Heat can cause damage to adjacent appliances or kit-
chen units. If the appliance is in operation for an exten-
ded period, heat and moisture will be generated.
Open a window or switch on an extractor hood lead-
▶
ing to the outside.
A build-up of heat may damage the appliance.
Do not use two burners or heat sources to heat one
▶
single item of cookware.
Do not use griddle plates, clay pots, etc. for a long
▶
time at full power.
Do not use large pots which can deflect flame onto
▶
the cooktop.
4 Environmental protection and saving energy
4.1 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
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.
Preventing material damage en
Reinstalling the appliance
Install the appliance components in reverse order.
▶
Checking if equipment is working
Check that turning the rotary knob between the pos-
1.
ition for maximum power and the position for min-
imum power does not cause the burner to go out or
result in backfire.
If the gas flow from the burner is not correct, check
2.
whether the nozzle and the position of the bypass
screw are correct.

Documenting the gas type conversion
Attach the sticker showing the new gas type near to
▶
the rating plate.
Do not remove the pan support and enclose the
▶
burner with a wok stand as this will concentrate and
deflect heat onto the cooktop.
Do not place anything, for example, flame tamer or
▶
asbestos mat, between pan and pan support as ser-
ious damage to the appliance may result.
A build-up of heat may damage the controls.
Do not use a large item of cookware on burners that
▶
are close to the control knobs.
If a control knob is in the wrong position, this could
lead to malfunctions.
Always turn the control knob to the "Off" position
▶
when the appliance is not being used.
Handling the cookware roughly may damage the sur-
face of the appliance.
Handle the cookware on the cooktop carefully.
▶
Acidic liquids, such as lemon juice or vinegar, may
damage the surface of the appliance.
Do not leave acidic liquids on the cooktop.
▶
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 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.
