• Ceramic glass hob is fi tted with three or four hotplates. Hob
surface is completely fl at and smooth, without edges to
accumulate dirt.
• The hob is fi tted with high power induction hotplates. Heat is
generated directly at the bottom of the dish, where it is most
needed, without any losses through the ceramic glass surface.
This way the required extent of energy is considerably smaller
compared to traditional heaters, which operate on radiation
principle.
• Glass ceramic hotplate is not heated directly, but only by return
heat transmitted by the dish. This heat fi gures as “remaining
heat” after the hotplate is turned off. The induction hotplate
generates heat from the induction coil, installed underneath
the ceramic glass surface. The coil creates magnetic
fi eld at
the bottom of the dish (which can me magnetized) which in
turn originates whirling
fl ows of current which then heat the
hotplate.
• Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if appropriate
cookware is used.
• Dish should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.
• The appropriate cookware is the one which enables induction,
for example steel, enamel or steel alloy cookware. Pots made
from steel alloy with copper or aluminum bottom, or glass pots
are inappropriate.
• If you use the pressure cooker (“economy pot”) keep it under
close surveillance until propre pressure is obtained. Hotplate
should
fi rst operate on maximum power, then follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and use the appropriate sensor to
decrease the power.
• When buying cookware, check if it bears the label “allows
induction”.

IMPORTANT!
• In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled on the hotplate, wipe it
immediately and remove the sugar residues with a scraper although the cooking zone is still hot,
otherwise the hotplate may be damaged.
• Avoid cleaning the cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as you may damage the hob.
