TIPS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
When a cooking zone is switched on it may hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not impair either the function of the life of the appliance.
Controlling the temperature - single zone
To increase the heat, turn the control knob clockwise.
To decrease the heat, turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
To switch off, turn the control knob to the off position.
Controlling the temperature - dual zone
By switching the outside ring on and off, the effective heating surface can be matched to the size of the cookware.
IMPORTANT
The inside ring must be switched on before switching on the outside ring.
To turn the outside ring on, turn the control knob clockwise past a slight resistance, as far as it will go. The inside ring must be switched on before turning on the outside ring.
Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reach the desired setting.
To switch off, turn the control knob to the off position.
Cookware
For optimal results use good quality cookware with a heavy flat base. Cookware made of enamelled or with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave discolourations on the glass ceramic surface which are difficult or impossible to remove.
ENVIRONMENT
Always place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.
If possible, always place the lids on the pans.
Switch the cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time to take advantage of the residual heat.
Ensure the bottom of the pan is the same size as the cooking zone you are using.

Allowing heat to escape during cooking increases cooking time and energy consumption
