The hotplate is controlled by a knob with 6 positions.
The hotplate can be operated by switching the control
knob to one of these positions. Near each hob control
knob, there is a small symbol that shows which
hotplate is controlled by that knob. The on/off light on
the control panel shows which hotplates are in use.

WARNING:
• When operating the hotplate for the first time, or
after it has not been used for a prolonged period
of time, it is necessary to eliminate any humidity
which may have accumulated around the electrical
elements of the plate. To do this, operate the
hotplate on its lowest setting for about 20 minutes.
• Never operate a hotplate without pans on.
• Only use flat-bottomed pans with thick bases.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before
placing it on a hotplate.
• When a hotplate is in operation, make sure that the
pan is centred correctly on it.
• Never use a pan with a smaller or larger diameter
than that of the hotplate as this will waste energy.

• If possible, always place lids on the pans to avoid
heat loss.
• The temperature of accessible parts may become
high while the appliance is operating. It is imperative
to keep children and animals well away from the
hob during use and until it has fully cooled after use.
• If you notice a crack on the cooktop, it must be
immediately switched off and replaced by an
authorized service personnel or technician.
Main Oven Functions

the model of your product.

Switch on the
DEFROST function using the main
oven function control knob. The
oven’s warning lights will switch on,
and the fan will start operating. To
use the defrost function, place your
frozen food on a shelf in the middle of the oven. It is
recommended that you put an oven tray under the

melting ice. This function will not cook or bake your
food, it will only help to defrost it.
