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 on all cooking zones a pan filled with some water. Set the maximum position and oper-
ate the appliance for approximately 10 minutes until water inside the pans boils. After that,
operate the appliance at minimum position for 20 minutes. During this period, an odour
and smoke can occur. This is normal. Make sure that the airflow is sufficient.
After this operation, clean the appliance with a soft cloth soaked in warm water.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a solid hotplate before you start it.
• Stop the solid hotplate before the end of the cooking time to use residual heat.
• For satisfactory results, the bottom of pans must have the same dimensions (or slightly
larger) as solid hotplates. Do not use smaller pans.
