SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
● Before using the ceramic plate for the rst time read the Operating Manual carefully
as thus you can ensure safe operation and avoid damage to the plate.
● If the ceramic plate is operated near a radio, TV set or other emitting device, please check
whether the touch panel works correctly.
● The ceramic plate should be installed by a qualied electrician.
● Do not install the plate near refrigerating devices.
● The furniture the plate is tted in should be resistant to temperatures up to 100 ºC. The
requirement applies to the veneers, edges, plastic surfaces, glues and varnishes.
● The plate can be used only after it has been tted into furniture, as only thus you will be
protected from accidental contact with live components.
● Electric appliances can be repaired only by qualied specialists. Unprofessional repairs may
compromise the safety of the appliance.
● The appliance is disconnected from the mains only when the mains plug is pulled out from
the socket or when the fuse has been switched off.
● Never allow children to remain unattended near the cooktop nor to play with the control panel.
● Unless properly supervised by caretakers or upon thorough studies of the operating manual,
the appliance must not be operated by persons (including children) of limited physical or
psychical abilities, these of limited technical expertise, or unfamiliar with the equipment.
● When switched on the hotplates quickly become hot. To avoid unnecessary power consump-
tion, switch them on only after putting a cooking pot.
● Residual temperature indicator built-in into the electronic system tells you whether the
hotplate is still switched on and whether it is still hot.
● Should there be a power failure, all the settings and indications will be cancelled. Please be
careful when the power supply is restored as hotplates which have been hot before power
failure will no longer be controlled by the indicator.
● If there is a mains socket located near the hotplate, please make sure that the supply cord
does not touch the hot places.
● Do not leave the plate unattended when cooking on fats and oils as they create re hazard.
● Do not use plastic pots or containers made from aluminium foil as they melt in high tem-
peratures and may damage the ceramic plate.
● Sugar, citric acid, salt etc., both in liquid and solid state, as well as plastic should not get
into contact with a hot hotplate.
● If through carelessness, sugar or plastic gets on a hot hotplate, you may not switch off the
plate but scrape away sugar or plastic using a sharp scrapper. Protect hands from burns.
● Use only at-bottom pots and saucepans on your ceramic plate, without sharp edges or
burrs as otherwise the plate may get permanently damaged.
● The heating surface of the ceramic plate is resistant to thermal shock. It is neither hot nor
cold-sensitive.
● Avoid dropping objects on the plate. A point hit, for example a falling bottle with spices, may
in unfavourable circumstances lead to cracks and splits appearing on your ceramic plate.
●Boiled over residuals of food may penetrate damaged places and get to the live components
of the ceramic plate
● Should cracks or splits appear on the surface of your ceramic plate immediately disconnect
it from the mains. In order to do so, switch off the fuse or pull out the mains plug from the
socket. Call the Customer Service
● Please observe the maintenance and cleaning guidelines. Should you fail to proceed in
compliance with the provided guidelines, you will lose your warranty rights.

UNPACKING
DISPOSING OF THE DEVICE
When disposing of the de-
vice, do not bring it to regular
mu nici pal waste containers.
Instead, bring it to electrical and
elec tronic waste re cy cling and
re use center. A rel evant label
has been put on the device, its
in structions manual, or on the package.
The device has been manufactured of re cy-
clable materials. By bringing old device to
recycling collection center, you show that you
care about nature.
Ask your local environmental care au thority
for information on location of such facilities.
SAVING ENERGY
Everybody who properly
uses energy not only saves
money but also consciously
acts in aid of the natural
environment. So let’s save
electric energy by:
●Using proper cookware
Pots and pans with at and thick bottom help
to save up to one-third of electric energy.
Remember about the lid as otherwise the
consumption of energy quadruples!
●Matching cookware to the size of the
hotplate
A cooking pot should neither be smaller nor
bigger than the used hotplate.
●Maintaining hotplates and pot bottoms
clean
Dirt obstructs the transfer of heat – heavily
burnt food residuals often can be cleaned only
with chemicals harmful to the environment.
●Avoiding necessary “peeping into pots”.
●Not using the plate near refrigerators
/ freezers
As the consumption of energy unnecessary
rises.

OPERATION
When switching the plate on and off and setting the heating power always touch
only one sensor. If you touch several sensors at the same time (with the exception of
switching off the hotplate or the clock), the system will ignore the entered settings and,
should you keep touching the sensors for a long time, will emit a fault signal.
The ceramic plate is equipped with sensors operated by touching the marked areas with a
nger.
Every touch of a sensor is conrmed with a sound.
Proper cookware
There is specially made and tested cookware for cooking on ceramic plates availabl on the
market. Observe instructions provided by the cookware manufacturers.
Cookware with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave metallic discoloration, very difcult
to remove. Be particularly careful when using enamelware, as it may irreparably damage
your plate when left on a hotplate with the content boiled down. To achieve optimal power
consumption, optimal cooking times and to avoid burning of food boiled over on the plate,
observe the following recommendations.
Bottoms:
The cookware should have a stable, at
bottom, as sharp-edged bottoms or bottoms
with burrs and charred food residuals can
scratch your ceramic plate and have abrasive
impact on it!
Sizes:
The diameter of the bottom surface of the
pot should match the diameter of the used
heating element.
Lids:
Lids prevent heat from escaping from the pot
and thus shorten the cooking time and reduce
the consumption of power.
Before rst use
●carefully clean the ceramic plate treating it as a glass surface,
●when used for the rst time the plate can give off a bit of a smell so switch on the ventilation
system or open the window,
●operate the plate observing the safety instructions.

OPERATION
The child lock function
The child lock function, which is activated by touching the child lock sensor eld (6), protects
the appliance from being unintentionally operated or switched on by children or pets. Setting
the child lock function when all cooking zones are switched off („0” is displayed on all cooking
zone displays) protects the cooking surface from inadvertent operation. The appliance can
be operated once the child lock function is released.
When the mains power is off, the child lock function is automatically deactivated.
Setting the child lock
To set the child lock function touch the child
lock sensor eld (6) until the pilot light (6)
comes on. An acoustic signal is heard briey
when the pilot light comes on.
Releasing the child lock
To release the child lock function touch the child lock sensor eld (6) until the pilot light (6)
goes out. An acoustic signal is heard briey when the pilot light goes out.
Setting and releasing the child lock is possible when the appliance is switched
on or cooking zone displays (3) indicate „0”.

Limited time of operation
To increase reliability of the plate each hot-
plate is provided with operation time limiter.
The maximal time of operation depends on
the last selected heating power level.
If the heating power is not changed during the
specied time (see the Table), the hotplate
will be switched off automatically and the
residual temperature indicator will be lighted.
If you want to continue cooking, switch on
the hotplate again at the required level of
heating power.

During the supply voltage drop the
„H“ is no more shown. In spite of
this the hot elds can be still hot!
Important! If the cooking plate is
started again after the renewed
switching on or after the supply
voltage drop, a short „self-test”
will be performed. The „H” will be
displayed on the residual heat in-
dicator during about 45 to 60 minu-
tes. The indication of residual heat
is not based on the measurement
of a value, but on the calculation
depending on the operating time
of hot elds.
OPERATION
Residual temperature indicator
When a hot plate has been switched off, letter “H” is displayed indicating that the hotplate is
still hot.
Do not touch the hotplate and do not
put heat-sensitive objects on it when
the “H” letter is displayed as you can
burn yourself or melt the object!
When the indication goes out you can touch
the hotplate, bearing in mind that it still does
not have ambient temperature.
After the pause caused by the supply vol-
tage drop the highest possible temperatu-
re and the longest cooling time are taken
into account and therefore the indication
time is so long lasting.
This is of no importance for the further
operation of the cooking plate.

14
OPERATION
Switching off the appliance
The cooking surface operates when at least
one cooking zone is on. Pressing the on/off
sensor eld (1) switches off the appliance,
and the letter „H” for residual heat appears
on the cooking zone display (3).
If timer function is activated when no cooking zone is in operation, no LED pilot light comes
on by the timer display (8) and this function can be then used as a regular kitchen timer.
Timer
Kitchen timer can be used to time various duties requiring precise timing such as boiling
eggs, or to time other activities that are not directly associated with the appliance operation.
Timer can be set from 0 to 99 minutes.
To set kitchen timer:
• touch timer sensor eld (7) once,
• set the desired time (for example 5 minutes) by touching sensor elds (+)(5) or (-)(4).
When the set time has elapsed, a brief acoustic signal is sounded repeatedly.
When the set time has elapsed, a brief acoustic signal is sounded repeatedly. The
relevant cooking zone display (3) will show „00” indicating the zone is switched
off and timer display (8) will show „00”.
To change the heat setting of a cooking zone with an activated timer, select the desired
cooking zone using the cooking zone selector sensor eld (2), and then set the desired
heat setting using the (+)(5) or (-)(4) sensor elds.
Timer
If the appliance is equipped with a timer, it
can be used to set the operating time of any
cooking zone.
Select the desired cooking zone using the
cooking zone selector sensor eld (2) and
then touch the timer sensor led (7) as many
times as necessary until a pilot light (9) comes
on indicating the desired cooking zone (2).
Then, while the pilot light (9) is ashing, touch
(+)(5) or (-)(4) sensor elds to set the desired
operating time for the selected cooking zone.
Timer will only start counting down when timer
display (8) shows a value higher than zero.

Daily cleaning and proper maintenance
have crucial impact on the durability of your
ceramic plate.
●Wipe off slight, not-burnt patches of dirt
using damp cloth without cleaning agent.
Washing liquid can cause blue di sco lo ra-
tion to appear on the plate. The stub born
stains often cannot be re mo ved after rst
cleaning, even if special cleaning agents
are used.
●Remove larger patches of dirt, stron-
gly sticking to the plate using sharp
scrapper and wipe off the surface with
a damp cloth.
CLEANING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Cleaning scrapper
Clean the ceramic plate observing
the same rules as for glass. Never
use abrasive or aggressive clean-
ing agents, scrubbing powders or
scratching sponges.
Removal of stains
●Light pearly stains (aluminium residu-
es) can be removed from cooled plate
using special cleaning agents. Cal ca-
re ous re si du es (i.e. boiled over wa ter)
can be re mo ved with vinegar or spe cial
cle aning agents
●Do not switch off the hotplate when re mo-
ving sugar, sugar-containing food, plastic
or aluminium foil! Immediately scrape off
the residuals (when still hot) from the
hotplate using a sharp scrap per. When
the dirt is removed you can switch off
the plate and clean it again after cooling
down using special cleaning agents
Special cleaning agents can be bought in
supermarkets, special electromechanical
shops, drugstores and shops with kitchen
appliances. Sharp scrappers can be bought
in DIY shops, shops with building tools and
painting accessories.
Cleaning the plate after every use

16
CLEANING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Never apply cleaning agent on a hot hotplate.
Leave the cleaning agent to dry and then
wipe it off with a wet cloth. Any residuals of
cleaning agents should be wiped off with a
damp cloth before heating the plate for the
next time, as otherwise they can have caustic
effect.
Failure to observe the ceramic plate main-
tenance instructions can result in losing
your warranty rights!
Caution!
If from any reason you are not able
to control the switched on plate,
switch off the main switch or screw
out the fuse and call the Customer
Service.
