USING THE APPLIANCE
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE
FIRST TIME
Upon receiving the appliance, remove all parts, including any transport equipment, from
the oven.
Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not use any
abrasive cleaners.
When the oven heats up for the first time, the characteristic smell of a new appliance will
be emitted. Ventilate the room thoroughly during the first operation.
After you receive your appliance, please wipe the entire cooking hob, including the
cooking zones, with a damp cloth
If your cooking hob has conventional cooking zones, switch them on to the maximum
power for 3 to 5 minutes without any cookware on them. As the cooking zones heat
up, some smoke may appear on the cooking hob surface. Thus, the cooking zone finish
reaches its maximum resistance.
If your hob has a glass ceramic surface, clean it with a damp cloth and some washing-
up liquid. Do not use aggressive cleaners, such as abrasive cleaners that could cause
scratches, abrasive dishwashing sponges, or stain removers.

577024
Rapid cooking zones (only with some models) can operate with greater power than
regular cooking zones, which means they can heat up more quickly.
These cooking zones are indicated with a red dot in the middle. After repeated heating
and cleaning, this dot may disappear.
Rotate the knob to switch on the cooking
zone. Cooking zone heating power can be set
in steps from 1 to 6 or continuously from 1 to 4.
Switch off the cooking zone 3 – 5 minutes
before the end of the cooking process to
make use of the residual heat and save power.
In case of prolonged use of cast iron plates, the area of the plate
and the edge of the cooking zone may discolour. Service in such
case is not covered by the warranty.
CONVENTIONAL HOBS
- Make sure the cooking zone and the cookware bottom is clean and dry. This will allow better
conduction of heat and prevent any damage to the heating surface.
- Overheated fat and oil on the cooking zones may ignite. Therefore, be careful when cooking
with fat or oil and always control the cooking process.
- Do not place wet cookware or lids covered in steam on the cooking zones. Moisture may
damage the cooking zones.
- Do not cool down the hot cookware by placing it on the cooking zones that were not in use,
because the condensate that will appear under the cookware bottom may aid corrosion.
577024_en.indd 16577024_en.indd 16 28. 02. 2022 13:03:0828. 02. 2022 13:03:08

17
577024
GLASS CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE
- The heating zone will quickly reach the set power or temperature, while the area around
the hot cooking zones will remain cook.
- The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
- Using the glass ceramic hob as a storage area may result in scratches or other damage
to it.
- Do not use aluminium or plastic cookware on hot cooking zones. Do not place any
plastic objects or aluminium foil on the glass ceramic hob.
- Do not use the glass ceramic hob if it is cracked or broken. If a sharp object falls on
the hob, the hob may break. The consequences of such occurrence may be visible
immediately or only after a while. If any visible crack appears in the hob, immediately cut
o the power supply to the appliance.
CONTROL OF THE TWO-RING COOKING
ZONE:
The area of the two-ring cooking zone
can adapt to the size and the form of your
cookware.
To activate the larger heating zone, rotate
the cooking zone knob as far as it will go
(a click will be heard), then set the desired
power level.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
Every cooking zone has a signal light that
lights up when the cooking zone is hot.
When the cooking zone cools down, the
signal light goes out. The residual heat
indicator may also light up if a hot pot or
pan is placed on a cool cooking zone.

18
577024
- Use quality cookware with flat and stable
bottom.
- Pan bottom and cooking zone diameters
should be the same.
- Tempered glass cookware with special
ground bottom may be used on the
cooking zones if its diameter fits that
of the cooking zones. Cookware with
larger diameter may crack due to thermal
tension.
- Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle
of the cooking zone.
- When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is reached.
First, set the cooking zone to maximum power; then, following the pressure cooker
manufacturer's instructions, use the relevant sensor to decrease the cooking power at
the right time.
- Make sure there is enough liquid in the pressure cooker, or any other pot or pan. Due to
overheating, using an empty pot on the cooking zone may result in damage to both the
pot and the cooking zone.
- When using special cookware, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- Diameter of the pot and pan bottoms should match the diameter of the cooking zone. If
the pot or pan is too small, a part of the heat will be lost, and the cooking zone may be
damaged.
- If the cooking process allows, use a lid.
- Cookware should be suitably sized given the amount of food. When you cook a small
amount of food in a large pot or pan, more energy is lost.
- If a dish takes a long time to cook, use a pressure cooker.
- Vegetables, potatoes etc. may be cooked in a smaller amount of water. The food will
cook just as well, as long as the pot is tightly closed with a lid. After bringing the water
to a boil, reduce the heat to a level that just suces to maintain a slow simmer.
TIPS REGARDING YOUR COOKWARE
