Operation
To switch on and increase the heat setting turn
the knob counterclockwise. To decrease the
heat setting turn the knob clockwise. To switch
off turn the knob to the 0.
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 operate
the appliance for 10 min. This is to burn off the
residue in the appliance. After that, operate the
appliance at minimum position for 20 min. Dur-
ing this period, an odour and smoke can occur.
This is normal. Make sure that the airflow is suf-
ficient.
When a cooking zone operates, it hums
for a short time. This is typical of all ceram-
ic 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.
Use pots and pans with bottom applicable
to the dimension of the cooking zones.

Information on acrylamides
Important! 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.
