Before Using Your Cooker
Before using your new cooker, please:
• Make sure all the controls are turned off.
• Read this Instruction/Installation Manual, taking special note of the 'Safety Warnings' section.
• Turn the mains power on.
First Time Use of the Hob
Operate your vitro ceramic hobs at level 6 for 5 minutes. This will remove any manufacturing residues there may
be a small amount of smoke and a slight odour. This is normal and will stop after a few minutes.
Choosing the Right Cookware
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking
zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the ceramic hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
• The heated areas will be seen to switch on and off even when higher heat settings are used. This is
due to a safety device, which prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching on and off when
cooking at high temperatures is quite normal, causes no damage to the hob and little delay in
cooking times. Excessive switching may however be caused by the use of an unsuitable cookware
or a saucepan which is smaller than the heated area. If excessive switching occurs, discontinue the
use of the cookware.
• To improve performance, and reduce energy, always use pans with close fitting lids.
• If the ceramic hob glass surface is cracked, switch of the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric
shock. Contact an authorised repair agent.
