Warnings

492203
• Four cooking zones are integrated into the glass
ceramic hob. The hob surface is flat, without any edges
along which dirt could accumulate.
• The hob is fitted with high power induction hotplates.
Heat is generated directly at the bottom of the dish,
where it is most needed, without any losses through the
ceramic glass surface. This way the required extent of
energy is considerably smaller compared to traditional
heaters, which operate on radiation principle.

CERAMIC-GLASS COOKTOP
Operating the cooking
hob

492203
• Glass ceramic hotplate is not heated directly, but only
by return heat transmitted by the dish. This heat figures
as “remaining heat” after the hotplate is turned o. The
induction hotplate generates heat from the induction
coil, installed underneath the ceramic glass surface. The
coil creates magnetic field at the bottom of the dish
(which can me magnetized) which in turn originates
whirling flows of current which then heat the hotplate.
• Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if
appropriate cookware is used.
• During cooking, cookware should be placed in the
middle of the cooking zone.
• The appropriate cookware is the one which enables
induction, for example steel, enamel or steel alloy
cookware. Pots made from steel alloy with copper or
aluminum bottom, or glass pots are inappropriate.
• When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until
the appropriate pressure level is reached and settled.
First, switch the cooking zone to maximum power,
then reduce the power on time in compliance with the
pressure cooker manufacturer’s instructions.
• Only use cookware with flat bottom! Concave or convex
(indented or bulging) bottom may impede the operation
of overheat protection mechanism and the cooking hob
may become too hot. This could lead to cracks in the
glass surface and melting of the pan bottom. In case of
damage resulting from the use of unsuitable cookware
or overheating of empty, dried-out pots or pans (with
nothing in them), the warranty is void.
• When buying cookware, check if it bears the label
“allows induction”.
Only use cookware suitable for electric and
induction cooking, with a:
• thick bottom (at least 2.25 mm)
• flat bottom.
IMPORTANT!
• In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled on the hotplate, wipe it
immediately and remove the sugar residues with a scraper although the cooking zone
is still hot, otherwise the hotplate may be damaged.
• Avoid cleaning the cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as you may damage
the hob.

Ø 200 mm Ø 145 mm
The magnet test
Using a small magnet, it is possible to check whether the
bottom of your cookware can be magnetized .Use only
cookware to which the magnet will stick.
Pan recognition
One of the many advantages of an induction cooking hob
is the pan, or cookware, recognition. Even if there is no
cookware on the cooking zone, or if a pan with a diameter
smaller than that of the cooking zone, is placed on it, no
heat is wasted. If the pan is much smaller than the cooking
zone, it may not be perceived / recognized by the cooking
zone. When the cooking zone is switched on, a symbol
“U” will light up on the power level display. If a piece of
cookware is placed on the cooking zone in the following
ten minutes, it will be recognized by the cooking hob and
the cooking zone will be powered up to the set cooking
level.
As soon as the pan is removed from the cooking zone,
power supply to the cooking zone is disconnected. If a
pan with a diameter smaller than that of the cooking zone
is placed on it, only the power required to heat up the pan
in use will be supplied.
The cooking zone can be damaged:
• If an empty pan is placed on it.
• Before placing the pan on the cooking zone, wipe
the pan bottom dry to enable the flow of heat and to
prevent damage to the cooking zone.
• For cooking and frying, only use cookware that can
be magnetized, i.e. steel, enamel-coated, or cast iron
cookware. Only then will the induction cooking zone
operate.

492203
Cooking zone heat power can be set to ten dierent levels.
The table lists some examples of use for each level.
• When buying cookware be careful in selecting size:
pot diameter usually refers to the top edge of the dish,
which is often larger than the dish bottom.
• Steam-pressure pots (economic pots), which use
pressure in tightly sealed interior, are especially
economic, and save both time and energy. Shorter
cooking time leaves more vitamins in food.
• Always leave enough water in steam-pressure pots,
otherwise it may result in overheating which may
damage both the pot and the hotplate.
• Always cover the cookware with lids of appropriate size.
• Use such dish size to accommodate the quantity of food
to be prepared. If you use excessively large pot for small
amount of food, you will consume considerably more
energy.

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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF CERAMIC-
GLASS HOB

492203
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 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 subject of a warranty claim.
Figure 5
• Installation of the appliance into a kitchen worktop and its connection to the power mains may
only be performed by an adequately qualified technician.
• Veneer or other finish of the piece of kitchen furniture into which the hob is to be built in
should be treated with heat resistant glue (100°C); otherwise, the worktop finish may be
discolored or deformed.
• Cooking hob is dimensioned to be built into the worktop over a piece of kitchen furniture, with
a width of 600 mm or more.
• After installation, the front two fastening elements should be freely accessible from below.
• Hanging, or wall-mounted kitchen elements should be installed high enough not to interfere
with the work process.
• The distance between the cooking hob and the kitchen hood should be no less than indicated
in the instructions for kitchen hood installation. The minimum distance is 650 mm.
• The distance between the appliance edge and the adjacent tall kitchen furniture element
should amount to no less than 40 mm.
• Use of massive wood decoration plates or boards on the worktops behind the cooking hob is
permitted, if the minimum distance remains the same as indicated in the installation drawings.
• Minimum distance between the built-in cooking hob and the rear wall is indicated on the

• Cooking hobs can be installed into worktops that are 30
to 50 mm thick.
• If the board is thicker than 40 mm, its inner edge should
be trimmed, or ground (Figure A). Thus, sucient air
circulation will be provided.
• If the thickness of your counter top exceeds 30 mm,
then the opening for the hob should be made in the
middle of the oven, with sucient clearance from the
front edge of the counter top so that the induction hob
does not touch the oven shield.
• If you wish to install the induction hob into an existing
opening, make sure if this is possible given the required
installation dimensions (installation depth of 54 mm).
• Worktop must be placed absolutely horizontal.
• Suitably protect the edges of the cut aperture.
• Connect the cooking hob to the mains power supply
(see instructions for the connection of the cooking hob
to mains power supply).
