Setting
General
On the glass work surface the 4 cooking zones
are indicated by a circle. The diameter of the
base of the pan should correspond as closely
as possible with the diameter of the cooking
zone.
Switching on and off

Place a pan on a cooking zone and turn the
control knob to the desired setting.
The cooking zone will then heat up. The

automatically to provide the power you have
set.
Switching off

The indicator shows that the cooking zone is
still hot, and goes out as soon as the glass top
reaches a safe temperature.
Residual heat is indicated by a light for each
cooking zone on the glass hob.

What you should pay attention to
■ Never open the casing of the appliance
■ Ensure that there is adequate ventilation
during use
- Keep natural ventilation openings open.
■ If there is a drawer under the hob
- Ensure that there is a sufficient gap
between the hob and the contents of the
drawer.
- Do not place any flammable objects in the
drawer.
■ Use the hob only for preparing dishes
- The appliance is not suitable for space
heating.
■ The cooking zones get very hot during use
and also remain hot for some time after use
(see also 'residual heat indication')
- Do not allow small children in the vicinity
of the hob during and soon after cooking.
■ Empty pans and boiling dry
- Never leave an empty pan on a cooking
zone that is switched on.
- Avoid the pan boiling dry.
- The cooking zones are protected against
overheating, but the pan may be
damaged.
■ Always use suitable cooking utensils
- Damage arising from the use of
unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is
excluded from the guarantee.
■ Use of fat and oil
- Grease and oil are flammable when
overheated. Stay near the cooker when
preparing dishes.
■ Use of other equipment near the hob
- Make sure that cables of electrical
machines (such as a mixer) do not end up
on hot cooking zones.
■ Never flambé under an extractor hood
- The high flames can cause fire. Even if
the ventilator is switched off.
■ Use of the cooking surface
- The glass-ceramic cooking surface is
very strong but not unbreakable. A
breakage may occur if a sharp object falls
on it.
- Do not use the hob as a work surface for
cutting meat or vegetables, for instance.
- Do not continue to use an appliance
whose cooking surface is showing a
break or cracks. Switch the appliance off
immediately. Remove the plug from the
socket or set the switch of the power
supply cable (in the case of a fixed
connection) to zero or turn off the fuse
switch(es) in the meter cupboard. Phone
the service department.
