Use of the appliance for other purposes than stated above is prohibited.
Preparing food directly on the cooking plate without cookware is pr ohibited.
The manufacturer of the appliance takes no responsibility for situations that might occur
if the warnings and instructions in this manual are neglected.
3.2 Operating principle and construction
Depending on the model, the range is equipped with two, four or six cooking zones.
The cooking zones are heated by infrared heaters positioned under the ceramic surface.
Each cooking zone is equipped with a stepless power control.
Due to the lo w mass of th e h eate r an d th e exc ell en t heat tr an sf er pro p ert ie s of t he ce ra mic

4.1 Before use
4.1.1 Selecting cookware
Cookware made of stainless steel, aluminium and enamelled steel is best suitable for the
ceramic range. Enamel based cast iron cookware can be used if handled with extra care.
Cookware made of copper, ceramic and glass is not suit able for use on the ceramic ra nge.
Always use good quality cookware with smooth and flat bases.
To get the best benefit from the range as well as fro m the cookware observ e the followin g:
• Always lift pans, do not drag.
• Use good quality flat-based cookware.
• Wait for pans to cool before putting them in cold water.
• Always ensure pans have clea n, dry bases before use.
• Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away fr om heat sources.
• Always use pan lids excep t when fryi ng.
• Ensure pans match the size of the hotplate or heating area where possible.
• Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only low or medium
heat is necessary.
Keep plastic and aluminium foils away from the ceramic surface, because they are laborious to remove once melted.
4.2 Operation procedures
4.2.1 Using the range
Switch the appliance off if it is dam aged or is mal f unctioning. Contact authorised servic e
personnel using original spare parts for service of the appliance.
Ranges intended for use aboard ships are equipped with a potrack. Using a range aboard
a ship without the potrac k is prohibited.
During the inst allati on, a mains s witch may have been fit ted near the range, often on a wall
nearby. Check that the mains switch is in the ON position.

The range is controlled with power regulators and pilot lights.
Operating panel
1. Pilot light, cooking zone on
2. Power regulator, front zone
3. Power regulator, rear zone
The ceramic range heats up very fast so no preheating is necessary. This feature also
makes it possible to swit ch off the cooking zone immediat ely when no long er needed . By
using the range in this way, energy is saved and a cooler working environment is
achieved.
Select the cooking zone according to the pan. The power controls of the cooking zones
can be set between 1-6. The green pilot light also turns on.
Start cooking on posit io n 6 and when boil ing s tarts decr ease t he power as n ee ded. De spit e
the fact that every cooking zone is fitt ed with a high temperature lim iter the zones s hould
not be left on wit hout pans for long er periods . If the set p ower of the cooking zone ex ceeds
the heat reception capability of the pan, the temperature limiter automatically adjusts the
power as needed.
If there are longer interruptions in the electricity distribution, all power regulators of the
range should be set to the 0 position. This should be done in order to prevent unexpected
start-up of the range when the electricity distribution is restored.
The ceramic top of t he range is v ery dura ble i n nor mal u sage. If, howe ver, t he ce ramic t op
due to an except ion ally s trong p oint ed blow is cr acke d, us e of the range is p rohi bit ed unti l
the ceramic top is exchanged.

When clean i n g the cook ing top, re member that it is hot a long time after use.
Cleaning is very easy, if possible spillovers are remove d immediately with a dam p cloth.
Sugar and mixes containing much sugar must be removed immediately , be cause later removing is laborious and may leave permanent marks.
Burned spillovers are easy to remove with a scrap er deli vered wit h the range . The scrape r
blade is exchanged by loosening the screw on the scraper shaft. The blade is a regular razor blade.
If plastic or aluminium foils melt on the ceramic top, they can also be removed with the
scraper.

slightly alkaline detergent (pH 8-10) diluted in water according to instructions when
cleaning the surfaces of the range.
