Initial cleaning

Using the burners

Using the various burners:

The high-speed burner is used

-for frying meat before it is roasted,

-to bring large amounts of liquid to boil. The normal burner is used (GKS 644.0 only)

-to prepare medium-sized portions of food,

-for frying meat.

The simmering burner is used

-for braising and keeping food warm

-for preparing smaller amounts of food

-for cooking food that tends to burn and stick to the bottom of the pan.

Switching the burners on and off

The appliance GKS 324.0 has two burners, and the GKS 644.0 has four burners.

Each burner has its own control knob. See the symbols on the operation panel to determine which control knob operates which burner.

The symbols for setting the flame high , low and “OFF” (●) are located next to the control knobs for the burners. The flame can be set to any desired height between high and low. Begin cooking on full flame and then reduce to a lower flame.

– To switch on the burner, press down the control knob and turn to the left (full flame).

–After the flame has ignited, keep the control knob depressed for a short time (max. 10 seconds), until the flame burns

automatically when the control knob is released.

–To switch off the burner, turn the control knob to the “OFF” (●) setting.

In case of power outage

In case of power outage, the electric ignition does not work. If a burner is in use, it will continue to work properly and safely.

To light a burner in case of a power outage, hold a lighted match to the burner and then press down the control knob and turn it to the left (full flame). After about 5-10 seconds, the flame will burn automatically when the control knob is released.

Cross support for small pots

The cross support for small pots can be placed over the simmering burn- er and onto the saucepan support so small pots can be safely used.

Notes on the right types of saucepans

Using the right types of saucepans will help save time and energy.

Select a saucepan with a diameter that fits the size of the burner.

Recommended saucepan diameters:

 

 

 

High-speed burner:

22 - 24 cm (about 8-1/2 to 9-1/2 inches)

Normal burner (GKS 644.0 only):

18

- 20

cm (about 7-8

inches)

Simmering burner*:

12

- 16

cm (about 5-6

inches)

*Smaller saucepans can only be used on the simmering burner by using a cross support for small pots.

Notes on use:

-For technical reasons regarding the gas supply, don’t use additional support burners on the burners.

-By using saucepans with a diameter that fits the burners, you’ll reduce the risk of damaging or heating up the control knobs by the close proximity of the saucepan.

-Don’t use small saucepans on a burner that’s too large. You’ll avoid unnec- essary energy consumption.

-Don’t place an empty saucepan on a lit burner and don’t let food boil dry.
