Daily use
Warning! Refer to the Safety chapters.
You operate the hob with the knobs of the oven. The
Daily Use chapter for the oven tells how to operate
the hob.
When a cooking zone operates, it hums for a short
time. This is typical of all ceramic glass cooking
zones and does not show that the appliance operates
incorrectly.
Helpful hints and tips
Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick
and flat as possible.

Care and cleaning
Important! The risk of burns from residual heat!
Let the appliance become sufficiently cool.
Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
Scratches or dark stains on the surface cause no
effect on how the appliance operates.
To remove the dirt:
1.
Use the cleaning powder or the cleaning pad.
2.
Clean the appliance with a moist cloth and some
detergent.
3.
Heat the hotplate to a low temperature and let it to
dry.
4.
To keep the hotplates in good shape, regularly rub
in a sewing machine oil. Polish off the oil with ab-
sorbent paper.
Before first use
Put cookware containing water on each cooking zone,
set the maximum position and operate the appliance for
10 min. This is to burn off the residue in the appliance.
After that, operate the appliance at minimum position for
20 min. During this period, an odour and smoke can oc-
cur. This is normal. Make sure that the airflow is suffi-
cient.
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
• Stop the cooking zones before the end of the cooking
time to use residual heat.
• The bottom of pans and cooking zones must have
the same dimension.
Important! For stainless steel edges of the hob use the
cleaning agent for stainless steel.
The stainless steel edge of the plate can change
the colour as a result of the high temperature.
The stainless steel can become dirty if the temperature
is too high. Because of this do not cook with the stone
pots, earthenware pans or cast iron plates. Do not use
the aluminium foil to prevent damage to the top during
operation.
The Stainless steel parts wash with water, and then dry
with a soft cloth.
