Preparation

Tips for saving energy

The following information will help you to use your appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:

• Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
• Use pots/pans with cover for cooking. If there is no cover, energy consumption may increase 4 times. Select the burner which is suitable for the bottom size of the pot to be used. Always select the correct pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require more energy.
• Pay attention to use flat bottom pots when cooking with electric hobs. Pots with thick bottom will provide a better heat conduction. You can obtain energy savings up to 1/3.
•  Vessels and pots must be compatible with the hotplates. Bottom of the vessels or pots must not be smaller than the hotplate.
• Keep the hotplates and bottom of the pots clean. Dirt will decrease the heat conduction between the hotplate and bottom of the pot.
• For long cookings, turn off the hotplate 5 or 10 minutes before the end of cooking time. You can obtain energy savings up to 20% by using the residual heat.
• Information on energy efficiency according to EU 66/2014 can be found on the product fiche given with the product.

Initial use

First cleaning of the appliance.

• The surface might get damaged by some detergents or cleaning materials.
  Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning powders/creams or any sharp objects during cleaning.
  Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface which may result in shattering of the glass.

1.  Remove all packaging materials.
2. .Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a cloth.

How to use hob

General information about cooking

Never fill the pan with oil more than one third of it. Do not leave the hob unattended when heating oil. Overheated oils bring risk of fire. Never attempt to extinguish a possible fire with water! When oil catches fire, cover it with a fire blanket or damp cloth. Turn off the hob if it is safe to do so and call the fire department.

• Before frying foods, always dry them well and gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete thawing of frozen foods before frying.

• Do not cover the vessel you use when heating oil.

• Place the pans and saucepans in a manner so that their handles are not over the hob to prevent heating of the handles. Do not place unbalanced and easily tilting vessels on the hob.

• Do not place empty vessels and saucepans on cooking zones that are switched on. They might get damaged.

• Operating a cooking zone without a vessel or saucepan on it will cause damage to the product. Turn off the cooking zones after the cooking is complete.

• As the surface of the product can be hot, do not put plastic and aluminum vessels on it.
  Such vessels should not be used to keep foods either.

• Use flat bottomed saucepans or vessels only.

• Put appropriate amount of food in saucepans and pans. Thus, you will not have to make any unnecessary cleaning by preventing the dishes from overflowing.
  Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on cooking zones.
  Place the saucepans in a manner so that they are centered on the cooking zone. When you want to move the saucepan onto another cooking zone, lift and place it onto the cooking zone you want instead of sliding it.

Using the hobs

1. Hotplate 14-16 cm
2. Hotplate 18-20 cm
3. Hotplate 14-16 cm
4.  Hotplate 18-20 cm is list of advised diameter of pots to be used on related burners.

Using hotplates

Hotplate knobs can be turned in both directions in a way that will provide temperature control in steps.
If the hob is equipped with hotplates featuring Booster function, relevant hotplate will be marked with a red dot.

Overheating protection

Hotplates that have a power above 1000 W are equipped with an overheating protection. Overheating protection decreases the power of the hotplate in following cases:

• There is no vessel or saucepan on the hotplate.
• There is an empty vessel or saucepan on the hotplate.
•  The bottom of the vessel or saucepan is not flat.

Turning on the hotplates

Use hotplate knobs to operate the hotplates. Move the hotplate knobs to the relevant level in order to obtain the desired cooking level.

Turning off the hotplates

Turn the hotplate knob to OFF (upper) position.

Thus, the service life of the appliance extends and frequently faced problems are decreased.
• Do not use steam cleaning products for cleaning.
• Some detergents or cleaning agents may damage the surface. Do not use abrasive detergents, cleaning powders, cleaning creams, descalers or sharp objects during cleaning.
• There is no need for a special cleaning agent for cleaning after each use. Clean the appliance using dish soap, warm water and a soft cloth or sponge and dry with a dry microfiber cloth.
•  Be sure to completely wipe off any remaining liquid after cleaning and immediately clean any food splashing around during cooking.
• Do not wash any component of your appliance in a dishwasher.

For the hob

• Acidic dirt such as milk, tomato paste and oil may cause permanent stains on the hobs and components of the burners/hotplates, clean any overflown fluids immediately after cooling down the hob by turning it off.

lnox and stainless surfaces

• Do not use acid or chlorine-containing cleaning agents to clean stainless or inox surfaces and handles.
• Stainless or inox surface may change colour in time. This is normal. After each operation, clean with a detergent suitable for the stainless or inox surface.
• Clean with a soft soapy cloth and liquid (non-scratching) detergent suitable for inox surfaces, taking care to wipe in one direction.
• Remove lime, oil, starch, milk and protein stains on the inox-stainless and glass surfaces immediately without waiting. Stains may rust under long periods of time.

Glass surfaces

• When cleaning glass surfaces, do not use hard metal scrapers and abrasive cleaning materials. They can damage the glass surface.
• Clean the appliance using dishwashing detergent, warm water and a microfiber cloth specific for glass surfaces and dry it with a dry microfiber cloth.
•  If there is residual detergent after cleaning, wipe it with cold water and dry with a clean and dry microfiber cloth. Residual detergent residue may damage the glass surface next time.
• Under no circumstances should the dried-up residue on the glass surface be cleaned off with serrated knives, wire wool or similar scratching tools.
•  You can remove the calcium stains (yellow stains) on the glass surface with the commercially available descaling agent, with a descaling agent such as vinegar or lemon juice.
• If the surface is heavily soiled, apply the cleaning agent on the stain with a sponge and wait a long time for it to work properly. Then clean the glass surface with a wet cloth.
• Discolorations and stains on the glass surface are normal and not defects.

Plastic parts and painted surfaces

• Clean plastic parts and painted surfaces using dishwashing detergent, warm water and a soft cloth or sponge and dry them with a dry cloth.
