Cooking Zones Features
The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direction, from the heating
elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set on it.
The heat does not spread in a horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only a few centimeters
from the cooking plate.
The 2 cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface.
Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.
Important Note:
The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches the element ON/OFF during all settings
to protect the ceramic glass from overheating.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature limiter to operate
more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.
The temperature limiter can be seen under the glass dissecting the element. This is not a fault with the
appliance.

in the touch control display is
also lit-up (with the cooking plate switched off) to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.
This symbol also stays on after the touch control panel has been switched off to shown that the hob
H
surface is still hot.
This residual heat lasts for a rather long time after the cooking plate has been switched off.
During this time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking area.
Please pay special attention to ensure that children are not allowed near the hob.
The

H
symbol will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking plate falls
Cooking Hints:
– To reduce the cooking time, you can set the fast cooking function (cf. section “Fast Automatic Heating
of the Cooking Zones” at page 12).
– You should use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass-ceramic hobs are available
from specialist shops).
– The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger) to make the most
of the energy.
– Since the cooking surface stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been switched off, you can
switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.
Never cook the food
directly on the glass
ceramic cooktop, but
in special pans or
containers.
WARNING:
Hobs become very hot
with use, and retain
their heat for a long
time after cooking
has finished (about 30
minutes).
Children should be
supervised at all times
and be prevented
from touching the hot
surfaces, until such
time as the appliance
has cooled.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Ceramic Hob
Before you begin
cleaning make sure
that the hob is
switched off.
– Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.
– Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
– If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring.
Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.
– All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.
Do not use a steam
cleaner because the
moisture can get into
the appliance thus
make it unsafe.
– Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as
soon as possible.
– If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove.
This is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which
could permanently pit the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
– If any of these products has melted on the ceramic surface, you should
remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a scraper to
avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the hob.
– Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil,
sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.
– Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensil as these may damage the ceramic
surface.
– Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
Stainless Steel Elements (Side Stainless Steel Trims)
– Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and
clean cloth.
– Forpersistentdirt,usespecificnon-abrasiveproductsavailablecommercially
