Using the hob top
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the hob surface (see
"Cleaning and maintenance" section).
o You should switch on one burner at a time, for 5 minutes at the
maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new smell that
exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on the
heating elements during transit.
o Do not burn off more than one burner at once.
o You must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on
each burner as you burn it off.

is completed.
o To turn on a burner use the relevant control
knob for the burner you wish to use.
