ENERGY SAVING
• The bottom of the pot should be slightly concave for optimum heat transfer from the cooking zone.
• The bottom of the pot should always suit the size of the cooking zone. If the pot is smaller, it can cause energy loss and
if larger, the cooking zone may become damaged.
• Always use a lid to reduce cooking time.
• The pot size should suit the quantity of food. Cooking smaller quantities of food in a large pot results in energy loss.
• Decrease the heat setting when a liquid comes to the boil.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Select the correct heat setting for the several cooking options.
Make sure all the cooking zones are cooled down before cleaning the hob and unplug the appliance before cleaning
or maintenance.
• Do not use abrasive pads, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners or sharp objects to clean the surface of the hob which
are not intended for this purpose.
• Clean the surface daily with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid. Dry thoroughly with kitchen
paper or a clean cloth.
• Spilt food can be removed by soaking the spot with a damp cloth and some washing-up liquid or a special scraper.
Attention: the glass scraper has a razor, therefore, it must be kept away from children.
• Use a special cleaner for ceramic/induction hobs for difficult stains. Attention: follow the instructions on the product.
• The safety during use can only be guaranteed when the hob is installed correctly and according to the regulations.
The installer is responsible for any damage caused by a faulty installation.

• The connection cable must hang freely. Do not tie the power cable or pass it along sharp edges. If there is an oven installed
below, pass the cable along the rear corners of the oven to the connection box. It must be positioned so that it does not
touch any of the hot parts of the hob or the oven.
• The connection point, the wall socket and/or plug must always be accessible.
• The worktop on which the hob is placed should be flat. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the worktop.
