User manual BOSCH PCQ715B80E/07

[. . . ] This practical, modern and functional appliance is manufactured using materials of the highest quality which are subject to strict quality control checks throughout the entire manufacturing process. The appliance is meticulously tested to ensure that it meets your demands and produces perfect cooking results. Do not remove the appliance from its protective packaging until it is installed in the unit. Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding to install and use the appliance. [. . . ] Important note: This appliance is connected to the mains (240 VAC) by means of the connecting lead which must be fixed to the kitchen unit to prevent it from coming into contact with hot parts of the cooktop (or an oven installed underneath) and remain accessible after installation of the cooktop. When making this connection make sure that the lead cannot come into contact with hot parts of the cooktop. When connecting the cooktop ensure that the earth wire is connected first and that all wires are connected to the correct terminals. 4. Gas During the planning stage, consider the position of supply connections. The cooktop must be connected to the gas supply with upstream connection of an isolation valve in accordance with the respectively valid regulations. We recommend that the isolation valve be fitted prior to the cooktop to enable isolation of cooktop from gas supply. To find out the factory set gas type, see bottom of cooktop next to gas connection. Fit regulator (N. G. ) or a test point (Universal LPG) directly to the R 1/2'' connection as per Fig. Use pipe compound or thread sealant, properly theaded pipes and careful assembly procedure so that there is no cross threading, etc. , which might cause damage or leakage. The manufacturer does not accept any liability for leakage on connections performed by the installer or if the L-tube is moved or twisted. 10 Fig. 6 There are two ways to carry out the connection to the main gas line: A. Press the chosen burner control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the maximum power setting. While the control knob is still pressed down, sparks are produced on all burners. The flame ignites (it is no longer necessary to press down the control knob). If it does not come on, turn the control knob to the off setting and repeat the steps above. This time, press and hold the control knob for longer (up to 10 seconds). If after 15 seconds the flame does not ignite, switch off the burner and open a nearby window or door. Wait at least one minute before trying to switch the burner on. Safety system Fig. 15 Depending on the model, your cooktop may have a safety system (thermocouple) that prevents the flow of gas if the burners accidentally switch off. To ensure that this device is active, switch on the burner as usual and, without releasing the control knob, press and hold it down firmly for 4 seconds after lighting the flame. 15. Ignition sparker Thermocouple Switching off a burner Power levels Turn the corresponding control knob clockwise to the 0 setting. The progressive control knobs can be used to control the power needed, from minimum to maximum power. Setting Large flame $ Control off Maximum capacity or aperture and electricity on Minimum capacity or aperture -- ~ Economy flame Warnings It is normal to hear a slight whistling noise while the burner is operating. [. . . ] After each use, clean the surface of the respective burner parts once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc. ), however little, it will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later. The movement of some pans may leave metal residue on the pan supports. Clean the burners and pan supports using soapy water and scrub with a non-wire brush. [. . . ]
