Before the First Use of the Appliance

Before using the appliance remove all packaging, including the advertising labels and any protective film.

When using the hob for the first time:

1) place on all the plates a pan filled with some water;

2) switch the plates on for about 10 minutes at “maximum” position until water inside the pans boils;

3) then, turn the control knob to “minumum” and allow the plates to run for approximately 20 minutes;

4) open a window for ventilation.

During this time, the plates may smoke a little and an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is absolutely normal and it is caused by residues of manufacturing.

Once this operation is carried out, let

the plates to cool down, then clean them with a soft cloth soaked in warm water.

Rapid Hotplates

The rapid hotplates are indicated by a red dot, and will heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots are painted on the plate, they may deteriorate during use and even disappear completely after a period of time. This will not affect the

performance of the hob.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a short while.

The Hotplates Control Light will come on each time a cooking zone is switched on.
