OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
You operate the hob with the knobs of the appliance that you installed with the
hob. The Operating Instructions chapter for this appliance tells how to operate the
hob.
When a cooking zone operates, it hums for a short time. This is typical of all ceramic glass
cooking zones and does not show that the appliance operates incorrectly.
