Glass Ceramic Cooktop
The glass ceramic cooktop has four heating
zones. Its surface is flat and there are no edges
where food remains usually collect.
• The heating zone reaches the preset
temperature quickly, yet the area around the
hot cooking zone remains cool.
• The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
• Never use the ceramic hob as a working
surface. Sharp objects may scratch it.
• Preparation of food in aluminium or plastic pots
or dishes on hot cooking plates is not allowed.
Do not place any plastic objects or aluminium
foils upon the cooktop surface.
• Do not prepare coffee in small traditional
coffeepots if the diameter of the pot is smaller
than the cooking area as it may result in
damage.
• Do not use aluminium, earthenware or copper
pots or pans as they may scratch or stain the
ceramic glass.
• Do not place saucepan lids on the cooktop
surface. Extreme pressure can build up while
cooling and cause the ceramic top to crack!
• The ceramic surface is very strong, however, it
is not unbreakable. Breakage from excessive
force or impact may void warranty.
WARNING!
• Never use a cracked or broken ceramic hob.
The hob may break or crack if an object with
sharp edges falls on it. The crack may be
visible immediately or only after some time.
Disconnect the appliance from mains
immediately in case any cracks are detected
upon the glass ceramic surface.
• If you spill sugar or any other sweet substance,
wipe the hob immediately, with a clean cloth or
use a scraper even though the cooking area is
still hot. This will prevent damage to it.
• Never use ordinary cleaning agents for cleaning
the ceramic glass cooktop, as they may
damage the ceramic glass surface.

Setting of Cooking Zones
The cooking zones are controlled by knobs
mounted on the control panel of the cooker. The
heating degrees are marked on the knobs from 1
to 6 (gradual increase), or 1-9 (continuous
increase), whereby position 1 is the lowest and
position 6 or 9 respectively the highest setting.
The heating is switched off in position 0. The
intermediate settings can also be selected and
set in two ways: in stages or continuously. The
knob can be turned in both directions. Energy
knobs increase power if turned clockwise and
decrease if turned in opposite direction.

Warning lamps "HOT"
Glass ceramic cookplates are equipped with
warning lamps "HOT". The lamp, switched on at
any particular time, signals that the relevant
cookplate is hot (danger of burns). When the
cookplate is switched off, the lamp remains on
until the temperature of the cookplate falls below
50°C.

Instructions for use, mounting and connection 7
Pots and Pans
Use only high quality pots with a flat and stable
base.
• Always be careful to put the pot in the middle of
the cooking zone.
• If you use the pots made of temperature
resistant glass always consider the
manufacturer's instructions.
• If you use a pressure cooker, never leave it
unattended. Select the highest temperature
setting, wait until the correct pressure is
reached in the pressure cooker and turn the
knob to a lower setting, as recommended by
the manufacturer of the pot.
• When using high radiation (bright metal
surface), or thick base pots for preparing food
on the glass ceramic hob, the period of
reaching the boiling point may be prolonged for
certain time (up to 10 minutes). Consequently,
if you need to boil considerable amount of
liquid, it is recommended to use a dark, flat
base pot.
The cooker top can be damaged if:
• Switched on and left uncovered or with an
empty pot on it,
• If you use incorrect pots with an uneven base,
rough or too small diameter base (traditional
coffee pan).
• Never use aluminium, earthenware or copper
pots as they are very likely to scratch or stain
the ceramic glass surface.
• Before putting the pot on the hot plate,
thoroughly wipe the base of the pot dry to
provide unobstructed thermal conductivity and
to prevent damage to the hotplate.
• If you place saucepan lids on the cooktop
surface. Extreme pressure can build up while
cooling and cause the ceramic top to crack!
Energy Saving Tips
• The inside base of the pot should be slightly
concave for optimum heat transfer from the
cooking zone.
• The base of the pot should always suit the size
of the cooking zone. If the pot is smaller, it can
cause energy loss and if larger, the cooking
zone may become damaged.
• Use a pot lid whenever possible.
• The pot size should suit the quantity of food.
Cooking smaller quantities of food in a large pot
results in energy loss.
• Food which needs longer cooking should be
prepared in a pressure cooker.
• Vegetables should be cooked in small
quantities of water. This speeds up the cooking
time, especially if the pot is properly covered.
Reduce the cooking power when the boiling
point is reached.
• Switch the hotplate off 5 to 10 minutes prior to
the end of cooking.

Cleaning and Maintenance
The ceramic-glass cooking hob must be cleaned
and cared for regularly. Use only reliable and
verified cleansing agents, designed specially for
ceramic-glass surfaces. Any attempt to use other
detergents may result in considerable damage,
as they may be too invasive and damage the
surface or produce scratches.
Clean the cooktop surface only when cold or at
least cooled down, except in case of spilled sugar
or strongly sweetened food, as described before.
In such case wipe the surface immediately and
remove the sugar residues with a scraper
although the cooking zone is still hot, or else the
hotplate may be damaged beyond repair.
• Regular cleaning is extremely simple. Usually it
is enough to wipe the ceramic-glass surface
with a wet cloth and dry it with a dry napkin
before and after use. This will protect the
cooktop both before use, by removing any dust
and dirt particles that might produce scratches
when moving the cookware about, as well as
after use, by maintaining it and preventing
deterioration. If the ceramic-glass surface is not
properly cleaned it may soon lose its natural
shine.
• Dried stains or discolouring of the cooktop (as a
consequence of incorrect detergents or
incorrect cookware) may be possibly be
removed with verified and reliable detergents,
specially designed for ceramic-glass surfaces.
Apply the concentrated detergent to the
surface. Allow some time penetrate and wipe it
off with a wet cloth (except if instructed
otherwise by the detergent manufacturer).
CAUTION ! When applied on a hot surface,
the cleaning agent may damage the ceramic
glass cooktop!
• Heavily dried or burnt stains may be removed
with a scraper.
• The surface may be protected from damage by
regularly cleaning the cooktop using the
recommended cleaning agents.
• Never use sponges previously used for washing
the dishes. They usually contain alkaline
substances that may result in discolouring the
cooktop surface.
