WARNING: Danger of fire: Do not store items on the
cooking surfaces.
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off
the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
•For induction hobs, metallic objects such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface
because they can get hot.
•For induction hobs, after use switch off the hob element
using the control knob. Do not rely on the pan detector.
•For models which incorporate a hob lid, clean any
spillages off the lid before use and allow the cooker to cool
before closing the lid.
•Do not operate the appliance with an external timer or
separate remote-control system.
•Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or scourers to clean
oven surfaces. They can scratch the surfaces which may
result in shattering of the door glass or damage to
surfaces.
•Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appliance.
•Your appliance is produced in accordance with all
applicable local and international standards and
regulations.
•Maintenance and repair work should only be carried out by
authorised service technicians. Installation and repair
work that is carried out by unauthorised technicians may
be dangerous. Do not alter or modify the specifications of
the appliance in any way. Inappropriate hob guards can
cause accidents.

Cookware
•Use thick, flat, smooth bottomed
good quality cookware made of steel,
enamelled steel, cast iron or stainless steel.
The quality and composition of the cookware
has a direct effect on cooking performance.
•Do not use concave or convex bottomed
cookware. Cookware made from aluminium
and stainless steel with non-ferromagnetic
bottom, glass, copper, brass, ceramic,
porcelain are unsuitable for induction
heating.
•To check if the cookware is suitable for
induction cooking you can hold a magnet to
the base of the cookware.
If the magnet sticks, the cookware is
generally suitable or you can put a little water
in the cookware on a cooking zone set at
maximum level. The water should start
heating in a few seconds.
•When using certain pans, you may hear
various noises coming from them, this is due
to the design of the pans and does not affect
the performance or safety of the hob.
•To achieve the best cooking performance, the
pan should be placed in the center of the
cooking zone.
•The symbol will flash in the cooking zone
display after the power level is selected if an
unsuitable pan or no pan is placed on the
cooking zone. The cooking zone will switch off
automaticaly
after 2 minutes.
•If a suitable pan is placed on the cooking
zone symbol will disappear and cooking
continues at the selected power level.
•To obtain best energy transfer the diameter
of the cookware base should match that of
the cooking zone.

5.1 CleaninG
WARNING: Switch off the appliance
and allow it to cool before cleaning is to
be carried out.
General Instructions
•Check whether the cleaning materials are
appropriate and recommended by the
manufacturer before use on your appliance.
•Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners which
do not contain particles. Do not use caustic
(corrosive) creams, abrasive cleaning
powders, rough wire wool or hard tools as
they may damage the cooker surfaces.
Do not use cleaners that contain particles,
as they may scratch the glass, enamelled
and/or painted parts
of your appliance.
•Should any liquids overflow, clean them
immediately to avoid parts becoming
damaged.
Do not use steam cleaners for
cleaning any part of the appliance.
Cleaning the Ceramic Glass
Ceramic glass can hold heavy utensils but may
be broken if it is hit with a sharp object.
WARNING : Ceramic Cooktops - if the
surface is cracked, to avoid the possibility
of an electric shock, switch
off the appliance and call for service.
•Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean the
vitroceramic glass. Then, rinse and dry
them thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Do not use cleaning materials meant for
steel as they may damage the glass.
•If substances with a low melting point are
used in the cookware’s base or coatings,
they can damage the glass-ceramic
cooktop.If plastic, tin foil, sugar
or sugary foods have fallen on the hot
glass-ceramic cooktop, please scrape it off
the hot surface as quickly and as safely as
possible. If these substances melt, they can
damage the glass-ceramic cooktop. When
you cook very sugary items like jam, apply a
layer of a suitable protective agent
beforehand if it is possible.
