The glass ceramic cooktop has four heating zones. Its surface is
flat and there are no edges where food remains usually collect.
• 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.

Glass Ceramic Cooktop

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.
Pots and Pans
• 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.

Energy Saving Tips

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, whereby position 1 is the lowest and
position 6 respectively the highest setting. The heating is switched
off in position 0. The intermidiate settings can also be selected and
set in stages. The knob can be turned in both directions.
After each use of the glass-ceramic hob, wait for it to cool
down and clean it; otherwise, even the smallest food residue will
be burnt onto the hot surface next time you use the appliance.
For regular cleaning and maintenance of the glass-ceramic
surface, use special conditioning agents which form a
protective layer on the surface, shielding it from dirt. Before each
use, wipe any dust or other particles from the hob surface and
pan bottom as these could scratch the surface (Figure 1).
Careful: steel wool, abrasive sponges, and abrasive detergents
can scratch the hob surface. Glass ceramic surface can also be
damaged by aggressive sprays and inappropriate or insufficiently
shaken (mixed) liquid cleaning agents (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Signage may be worn when using aggressive or abrasive
cleaners or cookware with damaged bottom (figure 2).
Light stains can be removed by a damp soft cloth; then, wipe
the surface dry (Figure 3).
Water stains can be removed using a mild solution of vinegar;
however, do not use this solution to clean the frame (only with
some models, as it may become dull. Do not use aggressive
sprays or decalcification agents (Figure 3).
Heavier stains can be removed using special agents and
utensils for cleaning the glass-ceramic hobs. When using these
products, follow the instructions provided by their respective
manufacturers.
Make sure any residues of cleaning agents are thoroughly
removed, as they could damage the glass-ceramic hob when
the cooking zones heat up (Figure 3).
Remove stubborn and burnt residues with a scraper (figure 4).
Be careful when handling the scraper to prevent injury.
Only use the scraper when dirt cannot be removed
with a wet cloth or special cleaners for glass ceramic
surfaces.

Cleaning and maintenance

Hold the scraper at the correct angle (45° to 60°). Gently press
the scraper against the glass and slide it over the signage to
remove the dirt. Make sure the plastic handle of the scraper (in
some models) does not come into contact with a hot cooking
zone.
Do not press the scraper perpendicularly against the
glass and do not scratch the hob surface with its tip
or blade.
Sugar and sugar-laden food may permanently damage the glass-
ceramic surface (Figure 5); therefore, they should be removed
from the glass-ceramic surface as soon as possible, although
the cooking zone may still be hot (Figure 4). Any change in the
color of the glass-ceramic surface does not affect its operation
or the stability of the surface. Such discolorations are mostly
a result of burnt food residues or use of cookware made of
materials such as aluminum or copper; these stains are difficult
to remove.
Warning: All damage described above predominantly relates to
the aesthetics, i.e. appearance of the appliance and do not affect
its functionality directly. Such errors cannot be the subject of a
warranty claim.

• 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.
• Built-in cooktop may be mounted into 30 - 40 mm thick working
tops.
• In case there is a drawer in kitchen cabinet under the built-in
hob, it is necessary to install an additional horizontal barrier of
height 6 cm under the hob and above the drawer.

Mounting the Built-in Hob

436550
Before inserting the appliance into the opening in the kitchen
worktop, the supplied foam gasket must be attached to the lower
side of the glass ceramic (glass) cooking hob (see figure above).
Do not install the appliance without the foam gasket!
The gasket should be attached to the appliance in the
following way:
- Remove the protective film from the gasket.
- Then, attach the gasket to the lower side of the glass,
approximately 2-3 millimetres from the edge (as shown in the
figure). The gasket must be attached along the entire length of
the glass edge and should not overlap at the corners.
- When installing the gasket, make sure that the glass does not
come into contact with any sharp objects.
NOTE!
On some appliances the gasket is already installed!
