Operating the appliance
You operate the hob with the knobs of
the oven. The Operating Instructions
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 ce-
ramic glass cooking zones and does not
show that the appliance operates incor-
rectly.
Helpful hints and tips
Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must be
as thick and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel
and with aluminium or copper bot-
toms can cause discoloration on glass
ceramic surface.

Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone be-
fore 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 dimen-
sion.
Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest
scientific knowledge, if you brown food
(specially the one which contains starch),
acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we
recommend that you cook at the lowest
temperatures and do not brown food too
much.
Care and cleaning
Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
Warning! Sharp objects and abrasive
cleaning agents will damage the
appliance.
For your safety, do not clean the appli-
ance with steam blasters or high-pres-
sure cleaners.
Scratches or dark stains on the glass
ceramic have no effect on how the ap-
pliance operates.
Removing the dirt:
1. – Remove immediately: melting plas-
tic, plastic foil, and food containing
sugar. Use a special glass ceramic
scraper. Put the scraper on the glass
ceramic surface at an acute angle and
slide the blade on the surface.
–Stop the appliance and let it cool
down before you clean: limescale
rings, water rings, fat stains, shiny met-
allic discolorations. Use a special
cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless
steel.
2. Clean the appliance with a damp cloth
and some detergent.
3. At the end rub the appliance dry with
a clean cloth.
What to do if...
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The appliance does not operate. • Set the heat setting.
• Examine the fuse in the electrical system of the house in the fuse
box. If the fuses blow time after time, speak to an authorised
electrician.
The residual heat indicator does
not come on.
The cooking zone is not hot because it operated only for a short
time. If the cooking zone must be hot, speak to the after sales
service.
If you tried the above solutions and cannot
repair the problem, speak to your dealer or
the Customer Care Department. Give the da-
ta from the rating plate, three-digit-letter
code for the glass ceramic (it is in the corner
of the cooking surface) and an error message
that comes on.
If you operated the appliance incorrectly, the
servicing by a customer service technician or
dealer will not be free of charge, even during
the warranty period. The instructions about
the customer service and conditions of guar-
antee are in the guarantee booklet.
