- To minimize the possibility of burns , ignition of flammable materials and spillage , the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units
CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Disposal of the packing material
- The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal, and can normally be recycled.
- Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation!
- Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure they are offered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
- Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which, if handled or disposed of i Incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance.
- Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.
- Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling center, and ensure that it presents no danger to children while being storiform disposal.
- It should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply by a competent person.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this
document in the space provided in the “After sales service” section of this
booklet.
Cleaning for the first time
- Remove any protective wrapping and stickers.
- Before using for the first time, clean the appliance with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry. Do not use washing up liquid to clean the ceramic surface as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to remove.
- On cook tops with beveled glass edges, a small gap may be visible between the cook top and the worktop during the first few days after installation. This gap will reduce with time as the appliance is used and will not affect the electrical safety of your appliance.
- Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up at the first time.
- The smell and any fumes given off do not mean that the appliance is defective or has been wrongly installed, and they are not harmful to health.
HOW THE COOKING ZONES WORK
Double circle cooking zones have two heating elements. Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot. When a power level is selected, the heat switches on and the element can be seen through the ceramic surface. The temperature of the cooking zones depends on the power level selected, and is electronically regulated. This controls the “timing” of a cooking zone, switching the element on and off.

These settings and figures, which envisage approx. 4 helpings, should only be taken as a guide.
With deep pans, larger quantities or when cooking without a lid, a higher setting is required. For smaller quantities, select a lower setting.
Attention: Family power supply should be matched with product rated power.
Pans- Pans made of any materials can be used on a ceramic cook top.
- However, the best pans are those with a thick base which has slight concave when cold. When heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the cook top, optimizing the conduction of the heat.
- Pans made of glass, ceramic or stoneware are less suitable, as they do not conduct the heat so well.
- Do not use pots and pans on the ceramic cook top with bases with pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g. cast iron pans. These could scratch or scour the cook top surface permanently.
- Lift pans into position on the cook top. Sliding them into place will cause scuffs and scratches.
- Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different size. Select pots and pans that have flat bottoms larger enough to cover the surface area of the heating element. Using undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or pan to the burner will also improve efficiency.
Tips on saving energy
- Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimize heat loss.
- Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a large, partially filled pan on a large cooking zone.
- Use as little water as possible to cook with, and reduce the power setting once the water has come to the boil or the oil is hot enough to fry in.
- When cooking for a long time, switch the cooking zone off about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. In this way, use is made of the residual heat.

CLEANING AND CARE
- The appliance should be cleaned after each use. Allow the cook top to cool down before cleaning. Wipe all coarse soiling off using a damp cloth. Stubborn soiling may need to be removed with a shielded scraper blade. Finally, clean the cook top with a suitable proprietary ceramic cook top cleaner applied with kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Do not apply cleaner whilst the cook top is still hot, as this could result in marking. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Finally wipe the appliance with a damp cloth, and then dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Ensure that all cleaning agent residues are removed. Residues can burn onto the cook top the next time it is used, and cause damage to the ceramic surface.
- Spots caused by limescale deposits, water and aluminum residues (which have a metallic appearance) can be removed using the ceramic cook top cleaner. Should any sugar, plastic or aluminum foil spill or fall on to a hot cooking zone, first switch off the appliance. Then carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminum residues from the cook top whilst they are still hot using a shielded scraper blade. Take care not to burn yourself. Allow the cooking zone to cool down, and then clean as described above with a suitable proprietary ceramic cook top cleaner. Appliances with aluminum frames (see data plate) are prone to scratching, alkali and acid damage.
- Take great care when cleaning the aluminum frame. Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or descaling agents on aluminum surfaces. Soiling should be wiped off as soon as possible after using the appliance. If the soiling is left for a long time it can have a damaging effect on the aluminum surfaces. Intensive cleaning with proprietary ceramic cook top cleaners can cause the frame to take on a shiny appearance.
Attention: Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. The steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.
- Only use proprietary cleaning products which are suitable for cleaning ceramic cook tops. Never use cleaners containing sand, soda, alkalis, acids or chlorides, oven sprays, dishwasher detergents, nor steel wool, abrasive cleaning agents, hard brushes, scouring pads and cloths. You should also avoid using sponges etc. which have previously been used with abrasive cleaning agents, as this will damage the surface.
- Do not use washing up liquid to clean the ceramic surface, as it can leave a blue sheen which may be difficult to remove.
- Do not use sharp objects which may damage the seals between the ceramic surface and the frame or between the frame and the worktop.
- To prevent the risk of spillages burning on, remove any soiling as soon as possible, and ensure that pan bases are clean, dry and free of grease.
