COOKING ON THE OPEN BURNERS When switching on the open burners for first-boiling/ frying, start at first with a big flame, and afterwards set back to a small flame for cooking on. The pot size must be chosen in a way that the flames will not exceed the pot rim. You may use pots of at least 240 to 260 mm diameter with the heavy-duty burner, pots of at least 200 to 220 mm diameter with a standard burner, and pots of about 160 mm diameter and smaller with the auxiliary burner. Always put the dishes in the middle of the open burner.
PRESERVATION Most convenient is preserving in a water bath in a big preserving pot on the heavy-duty burner. Prepare the glasses in the usual manner. Make use of commercial preserving glasses with rubber ring and glass lid. Glasses with screw cap or bayonet catch and metal boxes must not be used. Put the glasses in the water bath, not, however, on the pot bottom, but e.g. on a wire shelf. The glasses should be about � of the height in the water bath Upon reaching the boiling of the water set the flame smaller in a way that the water keeps on slightly boiling. In preserving pots without a thermometer the firstboiling time is calculated from the start of boiling of the water.
OVEN
q The oven burner is thermoelectrically secured in a way that the feed of gas will automatically be cut off if the flame goes out. q The oven temperature is thermostatically controlled. After ignition the oven burner performs with full output until reaching the temperature set. Afterwards the thermostat reduces the output to the value required for keeping the temperature set. q This control is effective with the door closed, only. q The oven bottom can be removed for cleaning.
PRIOR TO FIRST USE
q Remove all accessories from the oven. q Clean eneamel and glass surfaces with a wet cloth. q After connection of the appliance operate the oven for about 1 hour at max. temperature setting (see paragraph: Putting into operation of the oven burner). The smell resulting thereby will be safe if the room is adequately ventilated. q Afterwards wipe out the oven with a wet cloth and dry.
