Power indicator is activated when either of the
zones are turned on, and will stay on until the
cooking zones are switched off.
Before first use
Put cookware containing water on each cook-
ing zone, set the maximum position and oper-
ate the appliance for 10 min. This is to burn off
the residue in the appliance. After that, oper-
ate the appliance 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.

Helpful hints and tips

Warning! Refer to the Safety chapters.
Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must be
as thick and flat as possible.
Warning! Make sure that pots do not
cover the control zone.
Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a solid hotplate be-
fore you start it.
• Stop the solid hotplate before the end
of the cooking time to use residual
heat.

Care and cleaning

Warning! Refer to the Safety chapters.
Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
Warning! Before any maintenance or
cleaning can be carried out, you must
disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned while it is still
warm, as spillage can be removed more
easily than if it is left to cool.

After this operation, clean the appliance with a
soft cloth soaked in warm water.
Rapid hot plate
A red dot in the middle of the plate shows a
rapid hot plate. A rapid hot plate heats up fast-
er than usual plates.
The red dot is painted on the surface and can
come off after some time. It does not have an
effect on the performance of the appliance.
The rapid hot plate can smoke and make an
odour when you use it for the first time. The
smoke and an odour will go off after a while.
• For satisfactory results, the bottom of
pans must have the same dimensions
(or slightly larger) as solid hotplates.
Do not use smaller pans.
