WARNING – Risk of fire!

• Leaving fat or oil cooking on an unattended hob can be dangerous and may lead to fires. Never leave hot oil or fat unattended. Never attempt to extinguish a fire using water; instead, switch off the appliance and then cover with a lid or a fire blanket.

• The appliance becomes very hot. Never place flammable objects on the cooktop or in its immediate vicinity. Never store any objects on the cooktop.

• The appliance will become hot. Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers directly underneath the hob. Never store or use combustible materials (e.g. spray cans or cleaning agents) under the appliance or in its immediate vicinity.

• Hob covers can cause accidents. Do not use hob covers.

• When gas burners are in operation without any cookware placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. Only operate the gas burners with cookware on them.

• The appliance becomes very hot, fabrics and other objects may ignite. Keep fabrics (e.g. garments or curtains) away from the flames. Never reach over the flames. Do not place combustible objects (e.g. tea towels or newspapers) on, next to or behind the appliance.

• Escaping gas may ignite. If the burner does not ignite after 10 seconds, turn the control knob to the “Off” position and open the door or window in the room. Do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

• In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.

• Food may catch fire. The cooking process must be monitored. A short process must be monitored continuously.

WARNING – Risk of burns!

• The accessible parts can become hot during operation. Small children should be kept away from the appliance.

• Hob guards may cause accidents. Never use hob guards.

• Empty cookware becomes extremely hot when set on gas burners that are operating. Never heat up empty cookware.

• The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

WARNING – Danger: Magnetism! The BOSCH PCC6A.I9 has permanent magnets integrated into the control element bases and the control elements which may affect electronic implants like heart pacemakers or insulin pumps.

• Persons with electronic implants must stand at least 10 cm away from the magnetic control element bases and control elements.

• Never carry the control element base and the control elements on your body.

The magnets can also interfere with magnetic data carriers, TV sets, and displays. Keep magnetic data carriers, e.g., credit cards or other cards with magnetic strips, TV sets, and monitors away from the device’s control knob.

To prevent material damage to your appliance, follow these guidelines:

• A build-up of heat may damage the appliance. Never cover the stainless steel hob, for example with aluminium foil or oven protectors. Only use the accessories specified.

• Cookware that is not the right size, or that is damaged or incorrectly positioned may cause serious injuries. See the notes on cookware.

• When switching on the burner, sparks are generated in the ignition plugs. Never touch the ignition plugs while the burner is being lit.

• If a control knob is too stiff to turn or it is loose, it must no longer be used. Contact after-sales service immediately.

• A build-up of heat may damage the appliance. Do not use two burners or heat sources to heat one single item of cookware. Do not use griddle plates, clay pots, etc. for a long time at full power.

• A build-up of heat may damage the controls. Do not use a large item of cookware on burners that are close to the control knobs.

• If a control knob is in the wrong position, this could lead to malfunctions. Always turn the control knob to the “Off” position when the appliance is not being used.

• Handling the cookware roughly may damage the surface of the appliance. Handle the cookware on the hob carefully. Do not place any heavy objects on the hob.

• Acidic liquids, such as lemon juice or vinegar, may damage the surface of the appliance. Do not leave acidic liquids on the hob.

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less energy:

• Choose a burner roughly the same size as your pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.

• Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cooking zones consume a lot of energy.

• Cover saucepans with suitable lids. Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more energy.

• Lift lids as infrequently as possible. When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.

• Use a glass lid. You can see into the pan through a glass lid without having to lift it.

• Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food. Large items of cookware containing little food need more energy to heat up.

• Cook with only a little water. The more water that is contained in the cookware, the more energy is required to heat it up.

• Turn down to a lower power level early on. If you use an ongoing power level that is too high, you will waste energy.

You can use the control knobs to set the flame height to different power levels. The control knob is removable, magnetic, and connected to the control knob base.

The hob has automatic ignition of the burners. Take the following information into account to ensure that the appliance works correctly:

• The burner parts and the pan supports must be inserted correctly.

• Do not swap the burner caps around.

• The burner holes and grooves must be clean to ensure a correct flame.

ATTENTION! If you turn the control knob directly between position O and 1, malfunctions may occur. For this reason, never turn directly from position O to position 1 or vice versa.

1. Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn it anti-clockwise to the highest level. Keep the control knob pressed in. For all of the burners, sparks are generated and the flame ignites in the selected burner.

2. Wait a few seconds and release the control knob.

3. Turn the control knob to the required position.

4. If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to the off position and repeat the steps described above. This time, hold the control knob down for longer (up to 10 seconds).

The safety system (thermocouple) prevents the flow of gas if the flames accidentally go out. To ignite the burner, you must activate the system that enables the gas flow.

1. Ignite the burner without releasing the control knob. The flame ignites.

2. Press and hold the control knob for a further four seconds.

In the event of a power cut, you can light the burners manually.

1. Press the control knob for the selected burner and turn it anti-clockwise to the highest level.

2. Hold a lighter or a flame (lighter, match, etc.) against the burner.

► Turn the control knob clockwise to o.

This behaviour is normal for the appliance:

• Slight hissing noise from the ignited burner.

• Release of odours when using the appliance for the first time. These odours disappear after a short time.

• An orange flame is normal. This is due to dust in the environment, spilled liquids, etc.

• Popping noise a few seconds after the burner is switched off. This is caused by switching on the safety system.

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 as the flames must not touch the sides of the cookware.

Only use cookware with a concave base on the multi-crown burner. The hob must have a multi-crown burner and additional wok grid.

Flammable objects may ignite. Maintain a distance of at least 50 mm between the cookware and flammable objects.

ATTENTION! Unsuitable cleaning products may damage the surfaces of the appliance.

• Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.

• Do not use steel wool or scouring sponges.

• Do not use a knife or sharp objects to remove dried-on food remnants from the hob.

• Do not use knives or sharp objects to clean the connection between the metal and the glass or aluminium plate.

• Do not use steam-cleaning appliances.

General cleaning notes:

• Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

• After cleaning, dry all parts of the appliance completely using a soft cloth.

• Reattach the parts of the appliance properly, making sure that the surfaces are not damaged.

You can rectify minor faults on your appliance yourself. Read the troubleshooting information before contacting after-sales service. This will avoid unnecessary costs.

Valuable raw materials can be reused by recycling.

1. Unplug the appliance from the mains.

2. Cut through the power cord.

3. Close the main gas tap.
