The rating plate with basic information on the appliance is located on the bottom side of the cooking hob. Information on appliance type and model can be found on the warranty sheet.

Before first use

• If your hob has a glass ceramic surface, clean it with a damp cloth and some washing-up liquid.
• Do not use aggressive cleaners, such as abrasive cleaners that could cause scratches, abrasive dishwashing sponges, or stain removers.
• During initial use, the characteristic “new appliance smell” may appear; it will gradually disappear.

Glass ceramic cooking surface

• The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
• Do not use the glass ceramic hob if it is cracked or broken. If a sharp object falls on the hob, the hob may break. The consequences of such occurrence may be visible immediately or only after a while.
• If any visible crack appears in the hob, immediately cut off the power supply to the appliance.
• Make sure the cooking zone and the cookware bottom is clean and dry. This will allow better conduction of heat and prevent any damage to the heating surface.
• Do not place empty cookware on the cooking zone. The cooking zone may be damaged if you place an empty pan onto it. Before placing a pan onto the cooking zone, wipe the pan bottom dry to allow conduction of heat.

Tips regarding your cookware

• Use quality cookware with flat and stable bottom.
• Pan bottom and cooking zone diameters should be the same.
• Tempered glass cookware with special ground bottom may be used on the cooking zones if its diameter fits that of the cooking zones. Cookware with larger diameter may crack due to thermal tension.
• Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle of the cooking zone.
• When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is reached. First, set the cooking zone to maximum power; then, following the pressure cooker manufacturer’s instructions, use the relevant sensor to decrease the cooking power at the right time.
• Make sure there is enough liquid in the pressure cooker, or any other pot or pan. Due to overheating, using an empty pot on the cooking zone may result in damage to both the pot and the cooking zone.
• When using special cookware, observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

Energy saving tips

• When purchasing cookware, note that the diameter indicated on the pan usually pertains to the upper edge or the lid, which is normally larger than the diameter of the pan bottom.
• If a dish takes a long time to cook, use a pressure cooker. Make sure there is always sufficient liquid in the pressure cooker.
• If an empty cooker is placed on the cooking hob, it may overheat which in turn may lead to damage to both the pot and the cooking zone.
• Whenever possible, close the pot or pan with a suitably sized lid. Use cookware that fits the amount of food you are cooking. Cooking in a large partly full pot will consume much more energy.

Flush-mount installation into the worktop

Appliances without faceted edges or decorative frames are suitable for flush mounting.

Installing the appliance

The appliance may only be installed into a temperature- and water-resistant countertop, such as a countertop made of (natural) stone (marble, granite), or solid wood (the edges along the cut-out have to be sealed). When installing a countertop made of ceramics, wood, or glass, a wooden sub-frame should be used. The frame is not supplied with the appliance. The appliance may only be installed into a countertop made of other materials after you have consulted the countertop manufacturer and obtained his express approval. The internal dimension of the basic unit should be at least equal to the internal cutout for the appliance. This will allow simple removal of the appliance from the countertop. Attach sealing tape along the perimeter of the bottom of the glass panel.

First, feed the power cord through the cutout. Place the appliance over the center of the cutout. Connect the appliance to the power mains (see instructions for connecting the appliance). Before sealing the appliance, test its operation. Seal the slot between the appliance and the countertop using a silicone sealant. The silicone sealant used to seal the appliance has to be temperature-resistant (to at least 160 °C). Smooth out the silicone sealant using a suitable tool. Observe the instructions for the use of the selected silicone sealant. Do not switch on the appliance until the silicone sealant has dried completely.

WARNING!

• Pay particular attention to built-in dimensions with (natural) stone countertops. When choosing the silicone sealant, observe the countertop material and consult the countertop manufacturer.
• Use of inappropriate silicone sealants can result in permanent discoloration of some parts.

Removing the built-in appliance

Disconnect the appliance from the power mains. Use a suitable tool to remove the silicone gasket from the perimeter. Remove the appliance by pushing it upwards from the bottom side.

• WARNING! Do not attempt to remove the appliance from the upper side of the countertop.
• WARNING! The service department shall only be responsible for the repair and servicing of the cooking hob. Consult your specialized kitchen equipment dealer regarding the re-installation (of the flush-mount) cooking hob.
