2 Preventing material damage
ATTENTION!
The top panel of this built-in hob is made of ceramic
glass which is safer than normal glass for this applica-
tion. However, the following safety precautions for us-
ing built-in hob with glass top panel should also be
noted in order to prevent the glass top panel from
breaking.
Clean the burner assembly frequently to maintain a
▶
clear gas passage on the flame distributor. Clean
and tidy up the flame distributor after spillage of
food and liquid once the burner assembly cooled
down.
Turn off the gas appliance immediately if abnormal
▶
noise propagates from the gas appliance and con-
tact gas supply company or gas hob importer for in-
spection.
Do not use oversized utensils for cooking.
▶
Do not impact the glass surface with hard objects or
▶
place heavy objects on the glass surface.
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.
Environmental protection and saving energy
3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 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.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡ When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.

Children may breathe in or swallow small
parts, causing them to suffocate.
▶ Keep small parts away from children.
▶ Do not let children play with small parts.
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 hob carefully.
▶
Do not place any heavy objects on the hob.
▶
Moving the cookware may scratch the glass.
Lift the cookware when moving it.
▶
Damage may occur if hard or pointed objects fall on
the hob.
Do not let hard or pointed objects fall onto the hob.
▶
Do not bump into any of the edges of the hob.
▶
Salt, sugar or sand that may fall from the vegetables
will scratch the glass.
Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage
▶
space.
Melted sugar or food with a high sugar content may
damage the glass.
Remove boiled-over food immediately with a glass
▶
scraper.
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.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
¡ If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
