Electronic Flame Monitoring And Automatic Re-Ignition; Turning Off; Safety Lock; Settings Table And Tips - Gaggenau VG 424 210 CA Notice D'utilisation

By slowly turning the control knob, the flame size can
be steplessly adjusted between full and low flame.
Notes
‒ If you have large pots standing on the cooking
positions, you should ignite with a small flame.
‒ The electronic system opens the supply of gas
when you switch on the gas cooktop and this
produces a brief noise. This is normal.
‒ The electronic system runs a self-test every time
the gas cooktop is switched on. The electrode
ignites the burner after a few seconds.
‒ The appliance is not operable during a power
outage.
Electronic flame monitoring and
automatic re-ignition
For your safety, the cooktop is equipped with an
electronic flame monitoring system. The appliance re-
ignites the burner automatically if the flame goes out
during operation (e.g. through a draft of air).
If re-ignition is unsuccessful (e.g. the burner has been
soiled by overboiling), the appliance turns off the
supply of gas and an audible signal sounds.
Turn the control knob to the 0 position. Wait until the
appliance has cooled down sufficiently and then
check whether all burner parts are correctly fitted.
Check whether the burner or the electrode is soiled
(see "Troubleshooting").
Note the following when igniting the cold appliance to
a full flame:
Depending on the type of gas and gas pressure, it is
possible that the electrode ignites and then switches
off again although a flame is present. Turn the control
knob to the 0 position and then to the low flame. After
igniting, wait for 30 - 60 seconds until the burner has
warmed up. You can now use your appliance in the
manner to which you are accustomed.

Turning off

Fully turn the control knob to the 0 position on the
right. The appliance electronics closes the gas supply.

Tips for cooking and roasting

The values in the settings table serve as mere
guidelines, since more or less heat may be required,
depending on the type and condition of the foods, as
well as the size and fullness of the pot.
The high output causes grease and oil to heat up
quickly. Don't leave food unattended while frying;
grease can catch fire and burn the food.
The rear cooking zone should be used to prepare
foods requiring longer cooking times.
For parboiling, frying and deep-frying large portions,
you should use the high-output burner.
