OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

You operate the hob with the knobs of the appliance that you installed with the
hob. The Operating Instructions chapter for this appliance tells how to operate the
hob.
When a cooking zone operates, it hums for a short time. This is typical of all ceramic glass
cooking zones and does not show that the appliance operates incorrectly.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel and with aluminium or copper bottoms can cause
discoloration on glass ceramic surface.
Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you start it.
• Stop the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to use residual heat.
• The bottom of pans and cooking zones must have the same dimension.
Information on acrylamides
According to the newest scientific knowledge, if you brown food (specially the one which
contains starch), acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we recommend that you cook at
the lowest temperatures and do not brown food too much.
