Use

Pans

• Always ensure that the flames remain under the pan. The handles could also become too hot.

• The distance between the pan and a knob or non-heat-resistant wall should always be greater than one centimetre. In case of smaller distances, the high temperature may cause the knobs or wall to discolour and/or deform.

Suitable cookware

• Only use cookware with a suitable diameter. The cookware must not protrude over the edge of the hob. Never use small cookware on large burners. The flames must not touch the sides of the cookware. Refer to the table.

Wok ring and simmer grid

• The wok ring for use with the wok burner supplied or obtainable as an accessory provides extra
  stability for a wok with a round base. The small pan grid-supplied or obtainable as an accessory makes it possible to use very small pans.

Pan support

• Place the pan support vertically, without sliding it over the glass top. Use the positioning notches to position the pan support on the glass top.

Burner

• Use the leads (1) to put together the burner parts.

Wok burner position 

• Correctly place the wok burner. Placing the wok burner parts incorrectly can result in a poorly functioning burner.
• Place the burner distributor (2) in the burner housing (1).
• Use the positioning notches to place the inner ring (3) on the burner distributor (2).
• Use the positioning notches to place the outer ring (4) on the burner distributor (2).

• If desired, turn the wok selector ring to the roasting setting (5). The inner ring (wok setting) will switch off, and the outer ring (roasting setting) will switch on.

Maintenance

Daily cleaning

• Regular maintenance after use prevents spilled food from setting too long and creating stubborn stains. Use a mild detergent for this.
• This prevents the drip tray or glass cover from becoming dirty again after cleaning.

Stubborn stains

• Never use scouring powder, scouring pads, sharp objects, or aggressive cleaning products.

Persistent stains on the glass cover

• Clean the glass cover with a special cleaning product for ceramic hobs.

Persistent stains on the stainless steel (drip trays)

• Always wipe with the structure of the steel to prevent scraping away the protective layer (damage caused in this way does not fall under the guarantee!) The surface of stainless steel drip trays can discolour slightly over time.

Brass wok burner parts

• It is not unusual to see a change in the colour of the brass as a result of the high temperatures involved in wok use.
