The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of
grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we
recommend you remove these with a special non-
abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours
of use there may be a smell of rubber which will
disappear very quickly.
A few seconds after the hob is connected to the
electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may
now be switched on.

The booster function for the rear cooking zones may
be used to shorten heating-up times. It is activated
by pressing the
Booster
button. P appears on the
power indicator display. This function boosts the
power of the relevant zone to 3000W.
It stops automatically after 4 minutes. Until the
booster of one of the rear zones is activated, the
front zones have a ma
x
imum power of 600 W (e.g. if
the left rear hotplate booster is activated, the power
of the left front hotplate decreases).
Oval cooking zones*: may be used with the
booster only if the whole oval is activated.
Do not put two small pans on the oval cooking
zones.
