Important warnings

233036
Turn on the cooking zones for 3 to 5 minutes and select the
maximum power level; some fumes may be discharged from the
hob. This way, the protective cover on the cooking hob will reach
its maximum solidness.
• 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 sufficient 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).
• 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.
Tips for 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

• 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) or discretely (1-6).
• With stepless switches, rotate the knob in either direction. 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 off 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).

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.

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 off 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 off, 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 insufficiently
shaken (mixed) liquid cleaning agents (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Signs and indications on the hob may be worn if aggressive
cleaning aids are used on cooking zone edges, or if pans with
damaged bottom or used.
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).
Stubborn and burnt residues can be removed using a scraper.
Be careful not to cut yourself with the scraper!
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.
