Before you use the appliance for the first time, please do as follows: Carefully unpack the appliance and remove all the packaging
material. Keep the material (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. Check the appliance after unpacking for any
damage, possible from transportation. Clean the glass with a damp cloth. Check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the
voltage printed on the bottom of the appliance. Follow the installation instructions in chapter 7 for installing the hob.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The residual heat indicator shows the glass is still too hot to touch around the cooking zone.
When the area of the cooking zone is too hot, an indicator light switches on of the corresponding cooking zone. As soon as the
temperature has decreased below 60°C, the light goes out.
cookware
5
• Use thick, flat smooth bottomed cookware that are the same diameter as the cooking zone. This will help reduce cooking times.
• Cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone.
• If you use pots made of temperature resistant glass or earthenware, always consider the manufacturer’s instructions.
• 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.
• The cooking zone can be damaged if:
- switched on and left uncovered or with an empty pot on it;
- if you use pots with an inadequate bottom like uneven, rough or too small diameter bottoms;
- never use the earthenware pots as they are very likely to scratch the ceramic surface.
• Before putting the pot on the hob, thoroughly wipe the bottom of the pot, to prevent heat conduction and to protect the cooking
zone.
