Ceramic-glass cooktop is equipped with four hotplates designed
as cooking zones. The surface of the hob is flat, without any
edges for eventual gathering of dirt. Cookware may easily be
moved about along the hob surface.
• Hotplates quickly reach the selected heating power while the
adjacent area around the hotplates remains cool.
• The cooktop is resistant to temperature changes.
• The cooktop is also impact resistant. Cookware may be placed
upon the surface rather firmly without any consequences.
• Avoid using the hob as a working surface. Sharp objects may
produce scratches.
• Never attempt to prepare food in aluminum or plastic
cookware. Never place any plastic objects or aluminum foil
upon the hot cooking hob.
• Avoid making coffee in traditional Turkish coffee kettle since
the diameter of the bottom is too small and the hotplate may
be damaged.
CAUTION !
• Never use cracked or broken ceramic-glass cooking hob.
Sharp edged objects, falling upon the surface of the hob
may cause cracking. The consequences may be visible
immediately or only after a while. In case any visible cracks
are observed cut the power supply immediately.
• In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled
on the hotplate, wipe it immediately and remove the sugar
Use only high quality cookware with flat and firm bottom.
• Position the pot at the center of the hotplate during cooking.
• When using the fireproof and temperature resistant glass
cookware observe the instructions of the producer.
• If the pressure cooker is used to prepare food, have it
under constant control throughout the cooking until proper
pressure has been obtained. In such cases start the cooking
at maximum power of the hotplate, and reduce the power
subsequently according to the instructions of the producer.
• When using high radiation (bright metal surface) crockery, or
thick bottom dishes 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
the dark, flat bottom pot.

Hotplate may be damaged:
• if it is left in operation without any cookware being placed on
top, or if covered with empty cookware;
• if improper cookware is used: unevenly flat bottom or small
diameter (traditional Turkish coffee kettle).
• the use of terra-cotta (clay) cookware is likely to produce
scratches upon the ceramic-glass surface.
• Before placing any cookware upon the cooktop thoroughly
wipe the bottom dry, thereby improving the heat conduction
and protecting the hotplate from damage
• The inside bottom of the cookware should be slightly concave
for optimum heat transfer.
• Diameter of the cookware bottom should always match the
diameter of the hotplate. If the pot is too small it may cause
loss of energy and damage the hotplate.
• Whenever possible use the cookware lid to cover the pot.
• The size of the cookware should fit the quantity of food to be
prepared. Cooking small quantities of food in large pots results
in the loss of energy.
• Food requiring long preparation should be cooked in the
pressure cooker.
• Various vegetables, potatoes, etc. may be boiled in reduced
quantity of water. This way food is cooked faster, provided the
lid is tightly closed. Once the boiling point is reached, reduce
the cooking power and select the slow cooking level.

• Once the glass ceramic hob is connected to the mains
(including the power failure), the appliance carries out the
harmonization with the conditions of the exterior in order to
provide most efficient sensor function and render the best
control environment.
• After the successful accommodation to the environment, the
indicators show the mark “-” for a moment which eventually
disappear. The sound signal confirms the appliance is ready
for use.
• Do not place any objects upon the sensor surface during
the accommodation period, otherwise you may provoke
error mode. In such cases the process is interrupted and the
appliance signals error. The hob fails to respond to commands.
• The hob is equipped with electronic sensors which are
switched on by touching or pressing the sensor surface with
your fingertip. Each sensor reaction is confirmed by the beep.
• Always take care to touch only one sensor at the time for a
short period of time (approximately 1 second). If more than
one sensor is pressed at the same time the relevant command
is not accepted. If the touch is prolonged it provokes error
mode and the appliance is switched off.
• Do not place any objects upon the sensor surface (error mode)
nor any hot dishes which may damage the sensors. Keep the
sensor surface clean at all times.
• When the hob is turned off all the hotplates are off and
indicator LED’s are off.
• To switch the hob on, touch the ON/OFF sensor. The hob is
activated and all power displays indicate “0” for a period of
10 seconds. Using the (+) or (-) sensor you may select the
desired cooking power of a particular hotplate (see Power
Regulation).
• Next setting of a particular hotplate should be selected within
ten seconds, otherwise the hob will automatically be switched
off and a short warning beep is heard.

• Once the hob is switched on with the ON/OFF sensor, within
the next ten seconds, while the indicators are illuminated, you
have to switch on a particular hotplate by touching the (-) or (+)
sensors for the selected hotplate and set the desired heating
power. If the power setting is not selected within the next
ten seconds, the “0” indicator turns off and the hotplate will
automatically be switched off.
Setting of cooking level
• As long as the indicators are lit the heating power (1...) may
be selected and altered accordingly by pressing the (-) or (+)
sensor. By the (+) sensor the power is gradually increased to
the maximum level (9), while with the (-) sensor it is reduced
back to “0” (hotplate is switched off). In case you start the
setting by pressing the (-) sensor, the heating power starts
from the level “4”, and if you start the setting by pressing the
(+) sensor, the heating power starts from the maximum level
“9•”, simultaneously starting the automatic cooking mode
(see Automatic cooking mode). When one hotplate is on, the
“0” sign on other hotplate indicators is off. If you wish to start
another hotplate, press either the (-) or (+) sensor, and the “0”
mark appears on the indicator. Now press the (-) or (+) sensor
again and select the heating power.
• When the automatic cooking mode is activated the hotplate
will operate at maximum power for a limited period of time
(depending upon the power level required for continuation)
and then automatically switch to the reduced power level to
resume cooking (see chart). It may be switched on in any of
the hotplates for all power settings except for maximum setting
“9”.
• By touching the hotplate (+) sensor switch the hotplate on. The
display indicates power setting “9” and the decimal dot (•).
Within the next ten seconds press the (-) sensor and select the
power setting (8...1) for cooking. The decimal dot is on for the
entire time this function is on. By touching the (-) or (+) sensor
you may vary the heating power at any desired moment. If no
power setting for further cooking is selected within the next 10
seconds the automatic cooking mode is switched off and the
decimal dot disappears.
• Once the time from the above chart expires, the function is
switched off and the decimal dot disappears.
Cooking automatics can be tupned off at any time with (-)
sensor, by setting cooking level to “0”.

• Switch the relevant hotplate ( 2 or 4) and consequently
switch the extended hotplate ring by pressing the relevant
sensor (see the control element board illustration). The LED
signal lamp above the indicator displays the extended ring is
on. Now select the random heating power for both hotplate
rings together. Extended ring may be switched off either by
consequent pressing the sensor or by reducing the heating
power to “0”, as well as by simultaneous pressing of both the
(-) and (+) sensor. It may of course be switched off also by
switching off the entire hob.
Switching the second hotplate ring on
• The rear right hotplate (4) is equipped with the extended
hotplate ring, which is switched on by pressing the special
second ring sensor. The signal lamp above the indicator
displays the ring is on.
Switching the third hotplate ring on
(certain models)
• The front left hotplate (2) is equipped with two extended
hotplate rings. To switch the second ring on, press the special
second ring sensor (top left). The LED signal lamp above the
indicator displays the ring is on. To switch on the third ring
press the same sensor once again, another LED signal lamp is
on. Both extended rings are switched off by repeated pressing
the sensor. They may also be switched off by switching off the
relevant hotplate or the entire hob.
