3.1 Before first use

Put cookware containing water on each

cooking zone, set the maximum position

and operate the appliance for 10 min.

This is to burn off the residue in the appli-

ance. After that, operate the appliance at

minimum position for 20 min. During this

period, an odour and smoke can occur.

This is normal. Make sure that the airflow

is sufficient.

After this operation, clean the appliance

with a soft cloth soaked in warm water.

3.2 Rapid hot plate

A red dot in the middle of the plate shows

a rapid hot plate. A rapid hot plate heats

up faster than usual plates.

The red dot is painted on the surface and

can come off after some time. It does not

have an effect on the performance of the

appliance.

The rapid hot plate can smoke and make

an odour when you use it for the first time.

The smoke and an odour will go off after a

while.
