First Cleaning

In order to remove any remnants left by pr oduct ion, clean the hob before it is first use. Ensure any labels and protective films on the hob are removed. Clean the ceramic glass and the frame with hot water and a little washing up liquid added.

First Heating Up

Check each cooking zone, in turn, by briefly switching to the maximum setting (10). When using the ceramic hob for the first time it can temporarily emit an odour.

Ceramic glass surface

The cooking surface is made of proven ceramic glass. The surface is non-porous and, in addition, insensitive to quick variations in temperature. Therefore pots may be moved from a hot t o a cold zone. When switching on the cooking zones you may hear a short-term audible buzzing sound of the radiant elements. This will not harm the performance of the appliance.

Keep all objects and materials that might smelt away from the heat zones. Sugar solutions, food stuff s wit h a high sugar content, plastics, or kit c hen f oil – must be removed immediately with a glass scraper. If this type of soiling is not removed immediately it can cause irreparable damage to the cer am ic glass surface. Which is not covered by the guarantee. When the surface has cooled, wipe over with a damp cloth and Vitroclen.

Heat Controls

The cooking zones regulate the heating capacity of the cooking zones. The control knobs for the cooking zones can be turned to the left and to the right to desired position.

1 = minimum setting

10 = maximum setting 0 = OFF

After use make sure t hat the appliance is switched off by ensuring that all cont rol knobs are set to ‘0’.
