Glass Ceramic Cooktop
The glass ceramic cooktop has four heating
zones. Its surface is flat and there are no edges
where food remains usually collect. Pots can be
easily moved across the hob.
• The heating zone reaches the preset
temperature quickly, yet the area around the
hot cooking zone remains cold.
• The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
• The ceramic hob is impact resistant. A dish can
be placed on the hob a little harder and yet the
surface will not be damaged.
• Never use the ceramic hob as a working
surface. Sharp objects may scratch it.
• Preparation of food in aluminum or plastic
dishes on hot cooking plates is not allowed. Do
not place any plastic objects or aluminum foils
upon the cooktop surface.
• Do not prepare coffe in small traditional coffe
pots if the diameter of the pot is smaller than
the cooking area as it may result in damage.
WARNING!
• Never use a cracked or broken ceramic hob.
The hob may break or crack if an object with
sharp edges falls on it. The crack may be
visible immediately or only after some time.
Disconnect the appliance from mains
immediately in case any cracks are detected
upon the glass ceramic surface.
• If you spill sugar or any other sweet substance,
wipe the hob immediately, with cloth or use a
scraper even when the cooking area is still hot.
This will prevent damage to it.
• Never use ordinary cleaning agents for cleaning
the ceramic glass cooktop, as may damage the
ceramic glass surface.

Setting of Cooking Zones
The cooking zones are controlled by knobs
mountedl on the control panel of the cooker. The
heating degrees are marked on the knobs from 1
to 6 (gradual increase), or 1-9 (continuous
increase), whereby position 1 is the lowest and
position 6 or 9 respectively the highest setting.
The heating is switched off in position 0. The
intermidiate settings can also be selected and set
in two ways: in stages or continuously. The knob
can be turned in both directions. Energy knobs
increase power if turned clockwise and decrease
if turned in opposite direction.

Warning lamps "HOT"
Glass ceramic cookplates are equipped with
warning lamps "HOT". The lamp, switched on at
any particular time, signals that the relevant
cookplate is hot (danger of burns). When the
cookplate is switched off, the lamp remains on
until the temperature of the cookplate falls below
50°C.

Instructions for use, mounting and connection 17
Pots and Pans
Use only high quality pots with flat and stable
bottom.
• Always be careful to put the pot in the middle of
the cooking zone.
• If you use the pots made of temperature
resistant glass or earthenware, always consider
the manufacturer's instructions.
• If you use a pressure cooker, never leave it
unattended. Select the highest temperature
setting, wait until the correct pressure is
reached in the pressure cooker and turn the
knob to a lower setting, as recommended by
the manufacturer of the pot.
• When using high radiation (bright metal
surface) crockery, or thick bottom dishes for
preparing food on the glass ceramic hob, the
period of reaching the boiling point may be
prolonged for certain time (up to 10 minutes).
Consequently, if you need to boil considerable
amount of liquid, it is recommended to use the
dark, flat bottom pot.
The cooker top can be damaged if:
• switched on and left uncovered or with an
empty pot on it,
• if you use pots with an inadequate bottom like
uneven, rough or too small diameter bottoms
(traditional coffee pan).
• Never use the earthenware pots as they are
very likely to scratch the ceramic glas surface.
• Before putting the pot on the hot plate,
thoroughly wipe the bottom of the pot, to
prevent heat conduction and to protect the hot
plate.
Energy Saving Tips
• 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.
• Use a pot lid whenever possible.
• The pot size should suit the quantity of food.
Cooking smaller quantities of food in a large pot
results in energy loss.
• Food which needs longer cooking may also be
prepared in the pressure cooker.
• Various vegetables, potatoes, etc. can be
cooked with a smaller quantity of water. This
way the food is cooked much sooner, but do
not forget to cover the pan properly. When the
water starts boiling, turn the knob to the position
for slow boiling.
• Some 5-10 minutes before the food is cooked,
switch off the hot plate , whichever you are
using.

Cleaning and Maintenance
The ceramic hob must be regularly cleaned. Use
only reliable cleaning agents, those especially
designed for cleaning ceramic glass surfaces.
Any other cleaning agent may damage the
surface.
Clean the ceramic glass surface when it is cold or
at least partially cooled, except in case youu spill
sugar or sweet dish. Should this happen,
immediately wipe off the cooktop using cloth or
scraper, while the surface is still hot, otherwise
the surface may be seriously damage.
• Regular cleaning is very simple. It is usually
enough if you wipe up the hob before and after
use with a wet cloth and then wipe it dry with a
clean cloth or tissue. Wiping it before use will
remove dust and small particles that may
damage the ceramic surface when moving the
pot. Wiping it after use will protect it and
prevent damage. A neglected ceramic hob will
soon loose its shine and become rough.
• Dried stains or colour changes (caused by
using inadequate cleaning agents or
inadequate pots) can be cleaned with standard
cleaning agents used for cleaning the ceramic
glass surfaces. Apply the concentrated cleaning
agent on the stain, leave it work and then wipe
it with wet cloth (if not otherwise
reccommended in the instructons for the use of
cleaning agent).
CAUTION! When applied on a hot surface,
the cleaning agent may damage the ceramic
glass cooktop!
• Remove the dried and burnt stains with
scraper!
• Dried or burnt stains can be removed with a
scraper!
• Protect the surface against damage with
special protective agents. This is especially
recommended before preparing sweat dishes.
• Never use cloths or sponges with which you
usually wash the dishes, as they always contain
ordinary washing agents that may damage the
ceramic surface.

Instructions for use, mounting and connection 19
Mounting the Built-in Hob
• The plywood coating of the kitchen elements
should be processed with temperature resistant
adhesives (100°C), otherwise they may distort
or change shape.
• The use of decorative trimmings made of solid
wood on the worktop behind the cooking zone
is allowed only in case the minimum distance is
as marked on the drawings for mounting.
• Cut out the top panel of the kitchen unit into
which the ceramic glass cooktop is to be built
into.
• Minimum distance between the built-in cooktop
and the rear wall is marked on the installation
drawing.
• Protect the edges of the openings, if necessary.
