4 Preparation

Tips for saving energy

The following information will help you to use your appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:

• Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them. • Use pots/pans with cover for cooking. If there is no cover, energy consumption may increase 4 times. - Select the burner which is suitable for the bottom size of the pot to be used. Always select the correct pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require more energy. • Pay attention to use flat bottom pots when cooking with electric hobs. * Pots with thick bottom will provide a better heat conduction. You can obtain energy savings up to 1/3. • Vessels and pots must be compatible with the cooking zones. Bottom of the vessels or pots must not be smaller than the hotplate. - Keep the cooking zones and bottom of the pots clean. Dirt will decrease the heat conduction between the cooking zone and bottom of the pot.

- For long cookings, turn off the cooking zone 5 or 10 minutes before the end of cooking time. You can obtain energy savings up to 20% by using the residual heat.

Initial use

First cleaning of the appliance

The surface might get damaged by some detergents or cleaning materials.

Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning powders/creams or any sharp objects during cleaning.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a cloth.

Initial heating

Smoke and smell may emit for a couple of hours during the initial operation. This is quite normal. Ensure that the room is well ventilated to remove the smoke and smell. Avoid directly inhaling the smoke and the smell that emits.

5 How to use the hob

General information about cooking

Never fill the pan with oil more than one third of it. Do not leave the hob unattended when heating oil. Overheated oils bring risk of fire.

Never attempt to extinguish a possible fire with water!

When oil catches fire, cover it with a fire blanket or damp cloth. Turn off the hob if it is safe to do so and call the fire department.

• Before frying foods, always dry them well and gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete thawing of frozen foods before frying. • Do not cover the vessel you use when heating oil. - Place the pans and saucepans in a manner so that their handles are not over the hob to prevent heating of the handles. Do not place unbalanced and easily tilting vessels on the hob. • Do not place empty vessels and saucepans on cooking zones that are switched on. They might get damaged. - Operating a cooking zone without a vessel or saucepan on it will cause damage to the product. Turn off the cooking zones after the cooking is complete. • As the surface of the product can be hot, do not put plastic and aluminum vessels on it. - Clean any melted such materials on the surface immediately. * Such vessels should not be used to keep foods either. • Use flat bottomed saucepans or vessels only.

• Put appropriate amount of food in saucepans and pans. Thus, you will not have to make any unnecessary cleaning by preventing the dishes from overflowing. * Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on cooking zones. * Place the saucepans in a manner so that they are centered on the cooking zone. When you want to move the saucepan onto another cooking zone, lift and place it onto the cooking zone you want instead of sliding it.

Tips about glass ceramic hobs

• Glass ceramic surface is heatproof and is not affected by big temperature differences. • Do not use the glass ceramic surface as a place of storage or as a cutting board. • Use only the saucepans and pans with machined bottoms. Sharp edges create scratches on the surface. • Do not use aluminum vessels and saucepans. Aluminum damages the glass ceramic surface.

Spills may damage the glass ceramic surface and cause fire.

Do not use vessels with concave or convex bottoms.

Use only the saucepans and pans with flat bottoms. They ensure easier heat transfer.

If the diameter of the saucepan is too small, energy will be wasted.

Using the hobs

1 Warming plate 2 Dual-circuit cooking plate 21-23/12-14 cm 3 Single-circuit cooking plate 16-18 cm 4 Extended cooking plate 17-19/26-28 cm 5 Single-circuit cooking plate 14-16 cm is list of advised diameter of pots to be used on related burners.

DANGER:

Do not allow any object to drop on the hob. Even small objects such as a saltshaker may damage the hob.

Do not use cracked hobs. Water may leak through these cracks and cause short circuit.

In case of any kind of damage on the surface (eg., visible cracks), switch off the product immediately to minimize the risk of electric shock.

Quick heating glass-ceramic hobs emit a bright light when they are switched on. Do not stare at the bright light.
