A) Electric cooking zones
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 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).
• 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.
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.

• 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.
B) Gas cooking zones
• If you wish to quickly fry some food, set the gas burner to
the maximum power initially and reduce the power as your
continue.
• In all models, the cooker burners are fitted with
thermoelectric safety devices. If the burner flame is
extinguished (due to boiling over, draft etc.), gas supply
will be shut o automatically. Any chance of gas leaking
into the room is eliminated.
• Gas burner cover should always be placed very carefully on
the burner crown. Make sure the slots on the burner crown
are never obstructed.

• Correctly selected cookware will enable optimum
cooking time and gas consumption. Pan diameter is the
most important parameter.
• Flames that reach over the edge of a pan that is too
small, can damage the cookware; furthermore, gas
consumption is higher in such cases.

• For combustion, the gas also needs air. If a pan is too
large, air supply to the burner is insucient; as a result,
combustion eect is lesser.
Grid extension (only available with some models)
Use the extension when using a pan of a smaller diameter.
Place the extension on the grid above the auxiliary burner.
Burner type Pan diameter
Large (3.0kW) 220-260 mm
Normal(1.9kW) 160-200 mm
Auxiliary (1.0kW) 120-140 mm
Triple (3.5kW) 220-260 mm
• Turn on the cooking zone using the knobs installed on
the control panel.
• The symbol next to each knob indicates which cooking
zone is operated by it.
• Cooking zone power level can be set continuously (1-9)
or stepwise (1-6).
• The step knobs can be rotated in both directions. With
continuous knobs, the power level is increased as you
rotate them in the clockwise direction, and reduced as
you turn them in the anticlockwise direction.
• 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 ELECTRIC COOKING ZONES

470092
Models with two gas burners:
• Operate the gas burners using the knobs on the hob.
Power levels are indicated on the knobs by large and small
flame symbols (see section Appliance description).
• Rotate the knob through the large flame position ( )
to the small flame position ( ) and back. Operation interval
lies between the two flame symbols.
• Gas burners can be ignited using the electric spar plug built
into each gas burner (only available with some models).
Before rotating the knob, it should first be depressed.
Single-handed ignition
• In order to ignite the gas burner, press the selected burner
control knob and rotate it to the maximum power (flame)
position. An electric spark will be generated automatically,
igniting the releasing gas.
• If the electric ignition should not work due to a power
failure or damp spark plugs, the gas can also be ignited
using a match or a gas lighter. After igniting the gas, keep
the control knob pressed for another ten seconds, until the
flame settles.
• The flame can then be set between the maximum and
minimum level. Any setting between ( ) and ( ) is not
recommended, as the flame is not stable in this interval and
may be extinguished.
If the burner hasn’t ignited after the knob has been
depressed for fifteen seconds, close the burner and
wait at least one minute. Then, repeat the ignition
process.
If the burner flame is extinguished (for any reason),
close the burner and wait at least one minute before
attempting to re-ignite it.
• To extinguish the flame and close the burner gas supply,
rotate the control knob to the right, to the ‘OFF’ position
().

• Use warm water with some dishwashing detergent to
clean the area around the cooking rings (or hotplates).
Before doing so, use a sponge to soften any stubborn
residues.
• All dirty cooking zones should be cleaned thoroughly
immediately after use. If the cooking zones are less
stained, it suces to wipe them with a damp cloth
soaked in water and some detergent. If the hotplate
is heavily soiled, use a steel sponge (wire scrubber)
soaked with detergent. After cleaning, the cooking
zones should always be wiped dry.
• Salt-containing liquids, dishes that have boiled over, or
moisture, can damage the cooking zones. Therefore,
always wipe the cooking zones clean and dry.
• To condition the cooking zones, occasionally use
some sewing machine oil, or conventional products
for cleaning and care, available in the market. Never
use butter, bacon / lard, or similar substance (risk of
corrosion). If the cooking zone is slightly warm, the
detergent will penetrate the pores more quickly.
• Hotplate rings are made of stainless steel; due to
thermal load during cooking, they may discolor slightly

to yellow. This phenomenon is a result of physical
processes. Yellow spots can be restored by conventional
metal cleaning detergents.
Do not use aggressive utensils for cleaning the dishes, as
these will scratch the rings.
To clean the grid, cooking hob surface, and parts of the
burner, use hot water with some dishwashing detergent.
Clean the thermo-element and the spark plug with a soft
brush. These parts must be kept impeccably clean, as only
then will they operate correctly. Clean the crown and the
burner cover. Be particularly careful to keep all exit slots
on the crown clean and unobstructed. After cleaning,
dry all parts thoroughly and replace or reassemble them
correctly. Parts that are placed askew will make lighting
the burners more dicult.
Warning: Burner covers are coated in black enamel.
Due to high temperatures, discoloration is unavoidable;
however, this will not aect the operation of the burners.
