APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION

425225
Clean the glass-ceramic surface with a damp cloth and
some manual dishwashing detergent. Do not use aggressive
detergents such as abrasive cleaners that can scratch the
surface, abrasive dishwashing sponges, or stain removers.
• Do not turn on a cooking zone without a pan over it, and
never use the cooking hob for room heating!
• Make sure the cooking zones and pan bottom are clean
and dry, and that sucient heat transmission is enabled
between them, in order to prevent any damage to the
heating surface.
• Any fat or oil left on the cooking ones may ignite.
Therefore, be careful when using fat and oil to prepare food
(e.g. French fries) and control the cooking process at all
times.
• Do not place a damp pan or a steam-covered lid on the
cooking zones, as moisture is detrimental to them.
• Do not leave a hot pan to cool down on the cooking zones,
because moisture will be generated under it, causing
corrosion.
Important warnings regarding the glass ceramic hob
• Cooking zone reaches the selected power level or
temperature very quickly; however, the area surrounding
the cooking zones remains relatively cool.
• The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
• The hob is also impact-resistant. The pans may be placed
onto the hob roughly without damaging the hob.
• Glass ceramic hobs should not be used as a worktop.
Sharp objects can cause scratches.
• Preparing food in thin aluminum of plastic containers on
hot cooking zones is not allowed. Do not place any plastic
objects or aluminum foil on the glass ceramic hob.
• Never use a glass-ceramic hob that is cracked or broken. If
an object falls on the hob with a sharp edge downwards,
this could cause the hob / glass ceramic panel to break.
The consequences are visible immediately, or only after
a while. If any visible crack should appear, immediately
disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• If sugar is spilt on a hot glass ceramic hob, or a sugar-laden
food, immediately wipe the hob.

COOKING ZONES

425225
Tips on using the cookware
Use high-quality cookware with a flat and stable bottom.
• Transmission of heat is best when the pan bottom and
the cooking zone are of the same diameter, and the pan is
placed on the middle of the cooking zone.
• When using a tempered glass (Pyrex) or porcelain
cookware, please follow the cookware manufacturer’s
instructions.
• When using a pressure cooker, do not leave it unattended
until the desired pressure is reached. The cooking zone
should initially be set to the maximum power level; as the
pressure rises, use the sensors to decrease the power
level according to the pressure cooker manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Make sure there is always enough water, either in a pressure
cooker or in any other piece of cookware, as using an
empty pan on the cooking hob will result in overheating
which will damage both the pan and the cooking zone.
• Tempered glass (Pyrex) cookware with a specially brushed
bottom is suitable for use on cooking hobs if it fits the
diameter of the cooking zone. Cookware with larger
diameter may break due to thermal stress.
• When using any special or unconventional cookware, follow
the cookware manufacturer’s instructions.
• When a highly reflective pan (bright metal surface) or a
pan with a thick bottom is used for cooking on a glass-
ceramic hob, cooking time can be extended by several
minutes (up to 10 minutes). If you wish to boil a larger
quantity of food, it is recommended to use a container with
a flat dark bottom.
• Do not use clay cookware, because it may leave scratches
on the glass-ceramic hob.
• Pan bottom diameters should match the diameter of the
cooking zone. If the pan is too small, some heat is wasted;
furthermore, using a too small pan can damage the
cooking zone.
• Whenever possible given the cooking process, use a lid.
• The pan should be appropriately sized given the quantity
of food prepared. Preparing a small quantity of food in a
large pan will cause a waste of energy.
• Dishes that take a long time to cook should be prepared in
a pressure cooker.
• Various vegetables, potatoes, etc., can be cooked in a small
quantity of water; however, the lid should be closed tightly.
When the water is brought to boil, reduce the power level
to a setting that maintains a temperature just above boiling
point.

• Turn on the cooking zones using the knobs installed on
the control panel.
• The symbols next to the knobs indicate which cooking
zone is controlled by a particular knob.
• Cooking zone heating power can be set either
continuously (1-9).
• With energy switches, rotate the knob in the clockwise
direction to increase the heating power, or rotate it in
anti-clockwise direction to decrease the power.
• The cooking zone may be turned o three to five
minutes before the end of cooking in order to make
use of the residual heat and save some energy (the
following table lists some examples for using individual
power levels).

OPERATING THE COOKING ZONES

425225
When the double-ring cooking zone control switch is
rotated normally, the basic cooking zone (internal) is
activated. If you wish to activate the entire cooking zone,
rotate the knob to the symbol that follows the number
signs, to hear a ‘click’ sound; then, rotate it back to the
desired position. The entire cooking zone is switched o
by rotating the knob back to the “0” position.
Whenever at least one cooking zone is switched on,
a yellow light (LED) is lit up. With some models, this
function can be assumed by the backlit dial above the
activated knob.
Glass ceramic cooking hobs are fitted with warning control
lights in the front part of the panel. If a particular warning
control light is lit, is means that the corresponding cooking
zone is hot (risk of burning). When the cooking zone is
switched o, the warning light remains lit until the cooking
zone cools down to under 50°C.

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 insuciently 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.
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.

Important warnings
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).
Clean the glass ceramic hob with a mild non-abrasive cleaner
and a soft sponge that will not scratch the surface.
Any change in the color of the glass-ceramic surface does
not aect 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 dicult to remove.
Warning: All damage described above predominantly relates
to the aesthetics, i.e. appearance of the appliance and do
not aect its functionality directly. Such errors cannot be the
