• In case any other appliances are plugged in the electric mains close to the cooktop, prevent the
contact of the plug cable with the hot cooking zones.

• Never keep any fl ammable or temperature sensitive objects, like cleaning agents, sprays,
detergents, etc., below the appliance.

• Never use cracked or broken ceramic-glass cooktop. In case you notice any visible cracks on the

Ceramic-glass cooktop is equipped with four hotplates designed
as cooking zones. The surface of the hob is fl at, without any
edges for eventual gathering of dirt. Cookware may easily be
moved about along the hob surface.

• Hotplates quickly reach the selected heating power while the
adjacent area around the hotplates remains cool.

• The cooktop is resistant to temperature changes.

• The cooktop is also impact resistant. Cookware may be placed
upon the surface rather fi rmly without any consequences.

• Avoid using the hob as a working surface. Sharp objects may
produce scratches.

• Never attempt to prepare food in aluminum or plastic
cookware. Never place any plastic objects or aluminum foil
upon the hot cooking hob.

• Avoid making coffee in traditional Turkish coffee kettle since
the diameter of the bottom is too small and the hotplate may
be damaged.

CAUTION !

• Never use cracked or broken ceramic-glass cooking hob.
Sharp edged objects, falling upon the surface of the hob
may cause cracking. The consequences may be visible
immediately or only after a while. In case any visible cracks
are observed cut the power supply immediately.

• In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled
on the hotplate, wipe it immediately and remove the sugar

Cookware

Use only high quality cookware with fl at and fi rm bottom.

• Position the pot at the center of the hotplate during cooking.

• When using the fi reproof and temperature resistant glass
cookware observe the instructions of the producer.

• If the pressure cooker is used to prepare food, have it
under constant control throughout the cooking until proper
pressure has been obtained. In such cases start the cooking
at maximum power of the hotplate, and reduce the power
subsequently according to the instructions of the producer.

• When using high radiation (bright metal surface) crockery, or
thick bottom dishes for preparing food on the glass ceramic
hob, the period of reaching the boiling point may be prolonged
for certain time (up to 10 minutes). Consequently, if you need
to boil considerable amount of liquid, it is recommended to use
the dark, fl at bottom pot.

Energy saving tips

Hotplate may be damaged:

• if it is left in operation without any cookware being placed on
top, or if covered with empty cookware;

• if improper cookware is used: unevenly fl at bottom or small
diameter (traditional Turkish coffee kettle).

• the use of terra-cotta (clay) cookware is likely to produce
scratches upon the ceramic-glass surface.

• Before placing any cookware upon the cooktop thoroughly
wipe the bottom dry, thereby improving the heat conduction
and protecting the hotplate from damage

• The inside bottom of the cookware should be slightly concave
for optimum heat transfer.

• Diameter of the cookware bottom should always match the
diameter of the hotplate. If the pot is too small it may cause
loss of energy and damage the hotplate.

• Whenever possible use the cookware lid to cover the pot.

• The size of the cookware should fi t the quantity of food to be
prepared. Cooking small quantities of food in large pots results
in the loss of energy.

• Food requiring long preparation should be cooked in the
pressure cooker.

• Various vegetables, potatoes, etc. may be boiled in reduced
quantity of water. This way food is cooked faster, provided the
lid is tightly closed. Once the boiling point is reached, reduce
the cooking power and select the slow cooking level.

Glass ceramic hob control elements

• Once the glass ceramic hob is connected to the mains
(including the power failure), the appliance carries out the
harmonization with the conditions of the exterior in order to
provide most effi cient sensor function and render the best
control environment.

• After the successful accommodation to the environment, the
indicators show the mark “-” for a moment which eventually
disappear. The sound signal confi rms the appliance is ready
for use.

• Do not place any objects upon the sensor surface during
the accommodation period, otherwise you may provoke
error mode. In such cases the process is interrupted and the
appliance signals error. The hob fails to respond to commands.

• The hob is equipped with electronic sensors which are
switched on by touching or pressing the sensor surface with
your fi ngertip. Each sensor reaction is confi rmed by the beep.

• Always take care to touch only one sensor at the time for a
short period of time (approximately 1 second). If more than
one sensor is pressed at the same time the relevant command
is not accepted. If the touch is prolonged it provokes error
mode and the appliance is switched off.

• Do not place any objects upon the sensor surface (error mode)
nor any hot dishes which may damage the sensors. Keep the
sensor surface clean at all times.

Switching the hob on

172736

• When the hob is turned off all the hotplates are off and
indicator LED’s are off.

• To switch the hob on, touch the ON/OFF sensor. The hob is
activated and all power displays indicate “0” for a period of
10 seconds. Using the (+) or (-) sensor you may select the
desired cooking power of a particular hotplate (see Power
Regulation).

• Next setting of a particular hotplate should be selected within
ten seconds, otherwise the hob will automatically be switched
off and a short warning beep is heard.
