Quick User Guide:
Sensor calibration:
Sensor calibration will be made after every "power on" of the power
lines. During sensor calibration "-" will be shown in all displays. Do
not cover the sensors during this time. Prevent control from high
ambient light levels.
Switch on control:
Operate “H” sensor (on the right
side) for at least 1 sec.
Select heater:
Flashing "0" or “X” (already selected cooking
level) shows selected heater. Heater selection
can be made by toggling heaters with TOS
Sensor.
Cooking Level Selection:
Once a heater is selected, touch “+” to increase the cooking level,
touch “-” to decrease the cooking level
Switching off a heater:
In order to switch off a selected heater touch "+" and "-" sensor simultaneously.
For the first time use, operate your electric cooker for 5 minutes in position 3 without placing a utensil on it. This is going to provide for the
hardening of the heat resistant material on the cooker.
In order to get the maximum efficiency out of the heaters, please pay
attention to the sizes of the utensils that are going to be placed on the
heaters and the utensil to be flat base one.
The diameter of the bases of the utensils to be used; should be the
same as the diametre of the heater. While buying new sets of utensils,
please pay attention to the dimensions of the heater surfaces.
In order to protect the glass surface of your cooker; the cap of the
cooking utensil should be closed during the cooking procedure.
Aluminium or copper based utensils may leave traces to be
cleaned on the glass surface after the cooking procedure which
will require cleaning.
Utensils with barbed bases should not be used since they may
scratch the glass surface.
The bases of the cooking utensils should be clean and dry before
using on the cooker.
The base of the cooking utensil should be a bit concave while cold.
When it is heated in this manner due to a little bir of expansion, the
contact with the surface of the cooker would have been increased and
the maximum amount of heat transfer is thereby provided from the
cooker to the utensil. For the enamel utensil bases the best thickness is 2 to 3 mms; however the same measurement is 4 to 6 mms
at its best for stainless steel utensils with sandwich type bases.
To decide on whether the base of the utensil is correct or not; a very
simple test could be performed (when it is cold). Keep the base of
the utensil on a flat table and cut down some paper shreds and
pass them underneath the utensil. (for an enamel utensil, 5 to 10
paper shreds; and for a stainless steel utensil, 2 to 5 paper shreds
are going to be appropriate).

the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot or with wet
or damp hands and feet.
• The appliance must be used by adults only for
the preparation of food, in accordance with the
instructions outlined in this booklet. Any other
use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room)
constitutes improper use and is dangerous.
The manufacturer may not be held liable for any
damage resulting from improper, incorrect and
unreasonable use of the appliance.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical

hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been
switched off. An indicator light provides a warning
when residual heat is present (see Start-up and
use).
• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob,
for example plastic and aluminium objects, or
products with a high sugar content. Be especially
careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or
packaging: if placed on surfaces which are still hot,
they may cause serious damage to the hob.
• Always make sure that pan handles are turned
towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid

using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted
appliances should be collected separately in order
to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential
damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The
crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to
remind the owner of their obligations regarding
separated waste collection.
For further information relating to the correct disposal
of exhausted household appliances, owners may
contact the public service provided or their local
dealer.

Installation
Connecting the electricity supply cable to the mains
If the appliance is being connected directly to the
electricity mains an omnipolar switch must be installed
with a minimum opening of 3 mm between contacts.
! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical
connection has been made and that it is fully compliant
with safety regulations.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply,
make sure that: • The appliance is earthed and the
plug is compliant
with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of
the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate
located on the appliance itself.
• The voltage falls within the range of values indicated
on the data plate.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug,
ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use
extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.
! Do not remove or replace the power supply cable
for any reason. Its removal or replacement will void
the warranty and the CE marking. ARGOS does not
assume liability for accidents or damage arising from
replacement/removal of the original power supply
cable. Replacement can only be accepted when
carried out by personnel authorised by ARGOS and
using an original spare part.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only.
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
Care and maintenance
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for
example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues
and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder
detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may
scratch the surface beyond repair.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the
appliance.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a
damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen towel.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass
ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper.
Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for
the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty
deposits. You can achieve excellent results by using a
rust-proof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for
glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If any plastic or sugary substances are accidentally
melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the
scraper, while the surface is still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special
protective maintenance product: the invisible film left
by this product protects the surface from drips during
cooking. This maintenance task should be carried out
while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean
water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.
Stainless steel frame (only in models with outer frame)
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which has
been left on the surface for a long time, or by cleaning
products containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface well and
dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the surface, dry it
quickly and thoroughly.
! Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is sim-
ilar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or
degreasing products which are not suitable for use
with aluminium.
Disassembling the hob
If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:
1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on
each side.
2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in each
corner.
3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.
! Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If the
appliance breaks down, contact a Service Centre.
