on cooking hobs if it fits the diameter of the cooking zone. Cookware with larger diameter
may break due to thermal stress.
• When using any special or unconventional cookware, follow the cookware
manufacturer’s instructions.
• When a highly reflective pan (bright metal surface) or a pan with a thick bottom is used
for cooking on a glass-ceramic hob, cooking time can be extended by several minutes
(up to 10 minutes). If you wish to boil a larger quantity of food, it is recommended to use
a container with a flat dark bottom.
Energy saving • Do not use clay cookware, because it may leave scratches on the glass-ceramic hob.
• Pan bottom diameters should match the diameter of the cooking zone. If the pan is too
small, some heat is wasted; furthermore, using a too small pan can damage the cooking
zone.
• Whenever possible given the cooking process, use a lid.
• The pan should be appropriately sized given the quantity of food prepared. Preparing a
small quantity of food in a large pan will cause a waste of energy.
• Dishes that take a long time to cook should be prepared in a pressure cooker.
• Various vegetables, potatoes, etc., can be cooked in a small quantity of water;
however, the lid should be closed tightly. When the water is brought to boil, reduce the
power level to a setting that maintains a temperature just above boiling point.
OPERATION
Hob control elements
A . On/Off sensor
B . Cooking zone power or remaining heat displays
C . Cooking zone selection and On/Off sensors (+)
D . Child lock On/Off sensor
E . Sensor (-)
• After turning the ceramic glass hob on all displays come on for a moment. The hob is
ready for operation.
• The hob is fitted with electronic sensors which are switched on if you touch the relevant
circle for at least one second.
• Each sensor’ activation is followed by a sound signal.
• Avoid placing any objects on sensor surface (possible error signalization). Always keep
the sensor surface clean.
Activating the hob Touch the sensor (A) for at least one second. The hob is now active, and all hotplate
power indicators (B) indicate »0«.
Now you need to select the next setting within 20 seconds, otherwise the hob
switches off again.
Turning coking zone on
After turning the hob on using the sensor (A), within the next 20 seconds start one of the
hotplates.
• Touching the desired hotplate sensor (C), its relevant power indicator indicates »0«.
• By touching sensors (C) or (E) set the desired cooking power from 1-9.
Continuous pressing of (C) or (E) sensors the power level is automatically
increased or reduced.
Another procedure is to change power in steps is by intermediate touching of
relevant sensors.
Setting is always possible for one hotplate only at the time.
Power display indicates »0«, or „H“, depending on the existing temperature of the
hotplate (see Section Remaining Heat Indicator).
You can also turn the hotplate off prior the end of cooking and use the remaining
heat, and save energy.
