OPERATION
Before first use
● Connect the hob using the fixed-mounted cable approx. 1.5 long with a neutral
contact,
● Carefully clean the ceramic plate treating it as a glass surface,
● When used for the first time the plate can give off a bit of a smell so switch on the venti-
lation system or open the window,
● Operate the plate observing the safety instructions.
The ceramic plate is equipped with sensors operated by touching the marked areas with finger.
Every touch of a sensor is confirmed with a sound.
When switching the plate on and off and increasing / reducing the heating power al-
ways touch only one sensor. If you touch several sensors at the same time (with the
exception of switching off the hotplate or the clock), the system will ignore the entered
settings and, should you keep touching the sensors for a long time, will emit a fault signal.
Proper utensils for co oking
There are specially tested utensils for cooking and frying on ceramic plate co okers. It is im-
portant to proceed in ac cor dan ce with the instructions of their ma nu fac tu rers.
Cooking dishes with aluminium or cop per bottoms may cause metallic di sco lo ra tions, very
difficult to remove. You sho uld be particularly careful with ena mel led dishes which may cause
per ma nent da ma ge after accidental boiling away of the ir contents. In order to ob ta in optimum
po wer consumption, opti mum cooking time and to avoid burning of boiling over food on the
plate sur fa ce, it is necessary to conform to the following instructions.
Dish bottom:
Cooking/frying dishes should have sta ble, flat bottoms, since bottoms with sharp rims, burrs
and charred food re ma ins may scratch the ceramic plate and act on it like abrasive material!
When the plate is cool it is allowed to use pots with slightly con ca ve bottoms, since they
absorb the heat from the heating plate in an optimum way.
Pot size:
The diameter of pot and pan base sho uld correspond to the diameter of the he ating element
of the plate as closely as po ssi ble.
Pot cover:
A cover on a pot prevent the heat from escaping, therefore it shortens the he ating time and
reduces power con sump tion.
