Usage
To use a cooking zone
Warnings:
• When it is first used, it is normal for the cooking zone to give off odours; this
does not pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction; they will
disappear in time.
• The kitchen will become hot and humid when this appliance is used. You
must therefore ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: either keep the
natural ventilation apertures open, or install a ventilation system (extractor
hood).
• If using the appliance intensively for prolonged periods, you may require
additional ventilation (e.g. by opening a window) or more effective
ventilation (e.g. by increasing the hob's ventilation, if possible).
1. Turn on the appliance at the circuit.
2. Place a suitable pan on the zone you wish to use. Make sure the bottom of the
pan and the surface of the pan support are clean and dry.
3. Turn the dial of the cooking zone that you wish to use in either direction to
your required power level.
4. The residual heat indicator of the zone you are using will be lit.
5. To switch the cooking zone off, turn the control dial in either direction to the
off position. The residual heat indicator will stay lit until the cooking zone has
cooled down sufficiently. It can also be used as an energy saving function if
you want to heat an additional pan or keep the contents of a pan warm, use
the zone that is still hot.

unnecessary effort.
• Do not leave acidic liquids (e.g. lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the hob.
• Where possible, do not allow salt to come into contact with the surface of the
electric hob.
Causes of damage:
• Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic.
• Avoid boiling pots dry. This may cause damage.
• Sugar can cause the surface to blister if not removed immediately
• Never place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the display area or the
surround. This may cause damage.
• Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.
• Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates.
• Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.
• Unsuitable cleaning agents can cause discolouration and/or stains.
• Spillages can cause discolouration if not removed/cleaned immediately.
• Dragging or scrapping pans across the hob can cause discolouration, pans
should lifted when moving them
