mWarning – Risk of deflagration!
If the burner does not ignite after 15 seconds, switch off
the control knob and open the door or window in the
room. Wait at least 1 minute before igniting the burner
again.
Simmer setting
With the simmer setting, the burner switches the gas
flame on and off. This allows you to melt chocolate or
heat up delicate sauces, for example.
Turn the control knob to Â. It takes 10 - 50 seconds to
switch on or off.
Electronic flame monitoring and
automatic re-ignition
For your safety, the hob has an electronic flame
monitoring system. If the flame goes out while the hob is
in use (e.g. due to a draught), the appliance will
automatically re-ignite the burner.
If re-ignition is unsuccessful (e.g. because liquid or food
has boiled over and remains on the burner), the
appliance will switch off the gas supply.The illuminated
ring behind the control knob will flash.
Turn the control knob to 0. Wait until the appliance is
cool enough and then check whether all the burner
parts are in the correct position. Check whether the
burner or the ignition plug are covered in food remnants
etc.~ "Trouble shooting" on page 13

cover.

The luminous disc behind the control knob flashes after
switching off, to indicate that the appliance has still not
cooled down to such an extent that it can be touched
safely.
Safety shut-off
For your safety, the appliance has a safety shut-off
function.The appliance is automatically switched off if it
has been in operation for an extended period. How long
the appliance waits before switching itself off depends
on the setting (setting 12 = 1 hour, setting 1 = 4 hours).

orange and white alternately.
Turn the control knob to 0. You will now be able to start
