Prior first use
Glass ceramic hob
Wipe the glass ceramic surface with moist cloth and some
dishwashing detergent for manual wash. Never use any
aggressive detergents, like powder detergents, rough dish
sponges producing scratches, rust removers or stain removers.
Oven
Take all the accessories out of the oven and clean it with warm
water and your usual mild detergent. Never use aggressive
cleaners as they might cause scratches!
During the first heating the oven might produce a somewhat
unpleasant smell of a new product. This is normal, just
ventilate the place thoroughly!
Program timer
(certain models only)
Set the correct time of day as described in the separately
supplied instructions for the use of program timers. Setting the
time is imperative for the correct functioning of the appliance,
since the operation of oven is possible only after such
adjustment had been made.
Alarm timer
(certain models only)
Maximum setting time is 60 minutes. After the expiry of set
time alarm sound is heard, lasting for about five seconds.
Timer is set by turning the knob in clockwise direction, and the
correct setting is obtained by turning it anti-clockwise.
Energy saving tips
The bottom of the dish is too
thin and becomes crooked in the
process of heating up. The
consequence is excessive
consumption of energy and
uneven distribution of heat.
incorrect
The dish is too big or too small.
Temperature resistant glass,
protruding over the edge, might
break. Dish with too small
bottom diameter excessively
consumes energy and is not
economical.
incorrect
Adequate size of cooking
dishes.
Below are some important
suggestions how to use your
new cooker and its accessories
in order to save as much energy
as possible.
correct
Stick to the general rule:
The better the quality of the dish, the lower consumption of
energy!
Tips for purchasing crockery
•
Good quality dishes feature thick flat bottom. Uneven
bottom of the dish causes increased consumption of energy
and extended cooking time.
•
When purchasing new crockery carefully check if the
diameter quoted refers to the upper rim or the bottom. The
latter is usually always smaller.
•
Use of pressure cookers additionally saves energy, since
food is prepared in a closed dish and under pressure.
Furthermore, shorter cooking time preserves the vitamin
contents.
•
When using high radiation (bright metal surface) crockery, or
thick bottom dishes for preparing food on the glass ceramic
hob, the period of reaching the boiling point may be
prolonged for certain time (up to 10 minutes). Consequently,
if you need to boil considerable amount of liquid, it is
recommended to use the dark, flat bottom pot.
Tips for effective use of crockery
•
The best transfer of energy is obtained if the bottom
diameter of the dish is identical to the hotplate diameter, and
if the dish is placed exactly in the center of the hotplate.
•
If the diameter differs, it is always better to have bigger
crockery than smaller. The loss of energy is greater, and
stains may be burned to the hotplate.
•
Use pot lids and cover your cookware whenever possible.
•
The dish size should always suit the quantity of food.
Excessively big pot wastes too much energy.
•
Reduce power regulation towards the end of cooking, and
switch the hotplate off before cooking is complete, to be able
to use the remaining heat.
•
Always provide adequate quantity of water when cooking in
the pressure cooker. Lack of water may cause damage to
the dish and to the hotplate.
•
Temperature resistant glass cookware is suitable for use
with the hotplate if the bottom diameter of such dish is
adequate to the diameter of the hotplate. Dish protruding
over the hotplate edge may break as a consequence of
created thermal tension.
•
When using special cookware, always follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Tips for the use of oven
•
If possible use dark, silicone coated or enamel baking pans,
because of their excellent thermal conductivity.
•
Preheating of oven is necessary only if recommended by the
recipe or if written in the chart below.
