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.
COOKING HOB (depending on the model)
1. Cooking zone rear left
2. Cooking zone rear right
3. Cooking zone front right
4. Cooking zone front left

16
586310
CONVENTIONAL PLATES
- 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.
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.
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.

17
586310
- 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 boiling, reduce the heat to a level that is just suces to maintain a slow simmer.
TIPS REGARDING YOUR COOKWARE

18
586310
GAS BURNERS
- To sear the food, set the burner to maximum power first, and then continue to cook at
minimum power.
- Always place the burner cap accurately on the burner crown. Make sure the slots in the
burner crown are never blocked.
- Correct choice of cookware allows optimum cooking
time and gas consumption. Cookware diameter is the
most important in this respect.
- If a pot or a pan is too small, the flames reaching over
the edge of its bottom will damage it. Moreover, gas
consumption will be higher.
- Combustion of gas also requires air. If the pot or pan
is too large, there is not enough air and the burning
eciency is decreased.
Gas hob reducer (only with some models) Use the gas
hob reducer when cooking in a container of smaller
diameter. Place it on the grid over the auxiliary burner.
Burner type Container diameter
Large (3.0 kW) 220-260 mm
Normal (1.9 kW) 160-220 mm
Auxiliary (1.9 kW) 120-140 mm
Multi-ring burner (3.5 kW) 220-260 mm

Cooking power levels are indicated on the knobs with a large and a
small flame symbol. Rotate the knob over the large flame position
to the small flame position and back. Operating range is
between the two flame symbols.
Settings between and are not recommended. In this range, the
flame is unstable and may be extinguished.
Place the pot or pan on the grid above the burner before
igniting it (applies to three-ring, double-ring, and mini-wok burner).
To turn off a burner, rotate the knob to the right to position .
Single-handed ignition
To ignite a gas burner, press the corresponding knob and rotate it
to the maximum power position. Electric spark from the spark plug
will be activated and the gas will ignite.
Two-handed ignition
To ignite a gas burner, press the corresponding knob and rotate
it to the maximum power position. Press the spark plug button.
Electric spark from the spark plug will be activated and the gas will
ignite.
Electric ignition will only work if the power cord is connected
to the mains power. If electric ignition does not work due to a
power supply failure or damp spark plugs, the gas can still be
ignited with a match or a lighter. After ignition, keep the knob
depressed for approximately 10 more seconds until the flame is
stabilized.
If the burner does not ignite in 15 seconds, close it and wait for at
least 1 minute. Then repeat the ignition process.
If the flame on a burner is extinguished (regardless of the
reason), close the burner and wait for 1 minute before trying to
ignite it again.
