5.4 Before first use
Put a cookware containing water on each
electric cooking zone, set the maximum
position and operate the hob for 10 min.
This is to burn off the residue in the
appliance. After that, operate the hob at
minimum position for 20 min. During this
period, an odour and smoke can occur.
This is normal. Make sure that the airflow
is sufficient.
To operate electric cooking zone
properly, refer to diagram below.
