4. Operation instructions
4.1. Before use
The hob
The cooking plates are protected with a thin layer of oil for the duration of storage and transportation.
When heating up the range for the first time the oil may create some smoke and unpleasant smell.
This is quite normal and disappears quickly when using the hob.
4.1.1. Selecting cookware
Always use flat-based cookware in order to achieve good heat transfer and to increase the service life of
the cooking plate. Placing a cold and wet pan on a red-hot cooking plate should be avoided as the thermal
tensions created considerably decrease the service life of the plate.
You get the best benefit from the hob as well as from the cookware by observing the following:
• Use good quality flat-based cookware.
• Wait for pans to cool before putting them in cold water.
• Always ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use.
• Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources.
• Always use pan lids except when frying.
• Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only low or medium heat is necessary.
4.2. Operation procedures
4.2.1. 4.2.1. Using the hob
Switch the appliance off if it is damaged or is malfunctioning. Contact authorised service
personnel using original spare parts for service of the appliance.
During the installation, a mains switch may have been fitted near the range, often on a wall nearby.
Check that the mains switch is in the ON position.
