Do not leave children unattended in an area where the appliance is in use. Do not store toys or items of interest to children in cabinets above or behind the cooktop. Children climbing onto the cooktop to reach these items may become seriously injured. Moist or damp potholders used on hot surfaces can result in steam burns. Be aware of loose fitting or hanging garments when operating the cooktop, they may present a fire hazard. Built-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the appliance. Smother any fire or flame, or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction or the grease filters may ignite. For safety reasons the flame should be adjusted to be the same size as the bottom of the pan or smaller. / Lowest flame: outer burner is turned off, inner burner is at the lowest setting. 11 Using the cooktop Turning on ^ To light a burner press down and turn the corresponding control knob counterclockwise to the largest flame symbol. Even if the flame is lit, the ignition will continue to click for a few seconds for safety. If the burner does not light on the second attempt, turn the control knob to "ß" and see "Frequently asked questions". ^ 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 setting. 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. Turning off ^ Turn the control knob clockwise to "ß". 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 requires 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 counterclockwise until you feel resistance. Press the knob down to pass the stop, then release the pressure and set the cooktop to the desired setting. This stops the flow of gas and turns off the cooktop. The knob must only be turned left to turn the appliance on and right to turn it off. If the knob is turned, - on without pressing it down first, - clockwise past the 12 o'clock position, or - counterclockwise past the smallest flame symbol, parts of the cooktop could get damaged. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for these damages. 12 Using the cooktop Pan size ­ Set the cooktop to a high flame when using a large diameter pan and low flame when using small diameter pans. Suitable pans Unlike pans used on an electric cooktop, the bases do not need to be even for good results. Thick pan bases will give more even results, as hot spots are reduced due to better heat distribution. [. . . ] Make sure that all the locating tabs and notches align exactly. ^ Place the burner cap, a, onto the burner base, b, so that the notches fit into the holes (see arrows). 16 Frequently asked questions . . .
