■ Cleaning for the first time

1. Remove any protective wrapping and stickers.

2. 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.

3. On cooktops with bevelled glass edges, a smail gap may be visible between the cooktop 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.

4. Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell when heated up at the first time.

5. 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 cocking 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.

  With deep pans, larger quantities or wnen 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

1. Pans made of any materials can be used on a ceramic cooktop.

2. However, the best pans are those with a thick base which Nas slight concave when cold.
   When heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the cooktop, optimizing the conduction of the neat.

3. Pans made of glass, ceramic or stoneware are less suitabie, as they do not conduct the heat so well.

4. Do not use pots and pans on the ceramic cooktop with bases with pronounced edges or or ridges, e.g. cast Iron pans. These could scratch or scour the cooktop surface permanently.

5. Lift pans into position on the cooktop. Sliding them into place will cause scuffs and scratches.

6. Use proper pan sizes. This appliance Is equipped with surface units of afferent size. Select pots and pans that nave fiat 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

1. Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimize heat loss.
2. 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 in a large cooking zone.
3. Use as little water as possible to cook with, and reduce the power setting once the water has come to the boll or the oi Is hot enough to fry In.
4. 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 neat.

CLEANING AND CARE

1. The appliance should be cleaned after each use. Allow the cooktop 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 cooktop with a suitable proprietary ceramic cooktop cleaner applied with kitchen paper or a clean cloth. Do not apply cleaner whilst the cooktop 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 cooktop the next time it is used, and cause damage to the ceramic surface.

2. Spots caused by limescale deposits, water and aluminium residues (which have a metalic appearance) can be removed using the ceramic cooktop cleaner. Should any sugar, plastic or aluminium foil spill or fall on to a hot cooking zone, first switch off the appliance. Then carefully scrape off all the sugar, plastic or aluminium residues from the cooktop 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 cooktop cleaner. Appliances with aluminium frames (see data plate) are prone to scratching, alkali and acid damage.

3. Take great care when cleaning the aluminium frame. Do not use cleaning agents for stainless steel or descaling agents on aluminium 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 aluminium surfaces. Intensive cleaning with proprietary ceramic cooktop 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 cooktops. 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.
