When heating up the hotplate for the first time,
vapour is released which may lead to irritation
of the mucous membranes. During this
process, ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated. Keep children, pets and particularly

To eliminate the new-appliance smell, switch all of the
cooking zones to position 4 one after the other and
without cookware for 15 minutes each. Only ever switch
on one hotplate. During initial operation, smoke and
odours may be released but these will disappear over
time.

particularly vulnerable people away from the room.
Caution!
Do not operate the hotplates without placing pans on
top, except during this initial heating phase.
Operation
Switching on
Turn the control knob anticlockwise to the required
setting. The operation indicator will light up.
Setting 1: low power.
Setting 9: full power.
It is recommended to start cooking on full power
Note:
and then to use intermediate power levels after a few
minutes.
Switching off
Turn the control knob clockwise to the off setting. The
operation indicator will switch off.
Residual heat
The electric hob can be switched off slightly before the
end of the cooking time. The residual heat will enable
you to continue cooking for several minutes, thus
saving energy.
Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save
energy and prevent cookware damage:
Use pans which are suitably sized for the hotplate.
■
The diameter of the base of the pan should match
that of the hotplate, and should not be smaller.
Use a pan with thick flat base.
■
Do not use damaged pans that do not sit on the
■
hotplate in a stable manner.
Place the pan in the centre of the hotplate.
■
Otherwise it could tip over.
Always use the pan lids when cooking.
■
Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive
■
weight on it.
Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.
■
Do not cover the hob with aluminium foil or similar
■
products when cooking. This could damage the hob.
