Operation of the top with the heating area
An appropriately selected pan saves energy. A pan should have a thick, flat base with a diameter equal to the plate diameter as in that case heat is transferred most efficiently. Advice on the use of cooking tops. To save energy and to have a longer life of the ceramic tops, we advise using pans with flat bottom and with a diameter not less than the diameter of the tops. Care must be taken that fluids do not spill on the ceramic plates. Never leave the tops on without pans on them or with empty pans, and never use the tops to heat the plates. Switch on the plates after having set the pans on them. Once switched off, the plates remain warm for a while, do not touch. Switch off the heating element before removing the pans.
Touch control
-
All operations are performed by means of the touch controls on the control panel.

- After a zone is switched off, the corresponding heat level display will show a flashing letter “H”. This means that the temperature of the zone is above 60°C and is therefore still high enough to cause injury.
Power level| Time limit (hours)
---|---
1-2| 6
3-4| 5
5| 4
6-9| 1.5 - When the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C the letter “H” will go out. It is still possible to burn yourself on a hob zone, even when its temperature has dropped below 60°C.

Utensils
- Use pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste energy and are slow to cook.
- Use pans slightly larger than the hotplates. Smaller pans will waste energy.
- Do not use oversized pans. More than 50mm overhang can overheat cooktop components and can cause fine cracks in the enamel hob which will trap dirt.
- Use only dry utensils. Do not place wet or steamy parts (eg. lids) on the hotplates.
Use
- Do not use pots and pans that are unsteady and likely to rock or overbalance.
- Do not operate the cooktop for an extended time without utensils on the hotplate
Cleaning
Turn off the mains to the equipment before carrying out any maintenance and
wait for it to cool down. We advise using lukewarm water and detergents to
clean enameled elements. Never use abrasive products. Rinse the glass worktop
with water and dry using a soft cloth. Use sponges or a moist cloth to clean
the tops, and remember that water in excess can damage the electric elements.
Clean tough stains using nonabrasive detergents, or warm vinegar.
Clean the electric tops using a moist cloth, then lightly oil the top when it
is still warm. Only licensed repairers should service the appliance.
Installation
pole cable alternating currentat the voltage and frequency indicated on the
