Turning on:
^ To light a burner press down and turn
the corresponding control knob coun-
ter-clockwise to the largest flame
symbol. The ignitor will click and ig-
nite the gas. Release the knob.
The ignition process lasts max. 4 sec-
onds. The flame should light within this
time. If the burner does not light, repeat
the process.
If the burner does not light at the sec-
ond attempt, turn the control knob to "
ß"
and see chapter "Problem solving
guide".
^ Now you can adjust the knob to the
desired setting.
Regulating the wok burner
The inner and outer burners are both
controlled by one control knob. There is
a stop at the 6 o’clock position that re-
quires you to press the knob down
while turning it in order to get from the
high flame to the low flame zone.
^ To reduce the flames from a high to
low setting, turn the control knob
counter-clockwise until you reach the
stop. Press the knob down to pass
the stop, then release the pressure
and set the cooktop to the desired
setting.
^ To increase the flames from a low to
high setting, turn the control knob
clockwise until you reach the stop.
Press the knob down to pass the
stop, then release the pressure and
set the cooktop to the desired set-
ting.
Since the outer portion of the flame is
much hotter than the center, the flame
should be set so that it does not spread
beyond the sides of the pan. Flame tips
which extend beyond the sides of the
pan are hazardous.
Turning off:
^ Turn the control knob clockwise to
"
ß".
This stops the flow of gas and turns off
the cooktop.
Do not turn the knob clockwise past
the symbol "
ß" or force it past the
stop at the 6 o’clock position. Doing
so may damage the regulator.
