As long as the temperature of the cooking zones remains above 60° C, even after use, the residual heat indicators stay on to prevent the risk of burns.

The control knobs

These are situated on the oven control panel and allow for the continuous control of the power setting of each cooking zone (from 1 to 12 or from 1 to 6).

Extendable cooking zone control

Extendable cooking zones (concentric or oval) are indicated on the glass hob surface by a dual heating zone.

To use the smaller zone only, set the control knob to between 1 and 12 according to the desired heating power.

To use the large zone, set the knob to ⚙ and then adjust it to the desired heating power.

Specific case - KBH 6034 DO/HA

Using the cooker control knob corresponding to the chosen hotplate you can normally only operate its inner zone. To operate the whole extendible hotplate (both the inner and the outer zone) press the button

found on the hob. Now you can regulate the desired temperature using the same knob up until number 12.

! This appliance has been designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

Practical advice on using the appliance

To obtain the best results from your hob:

- Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere to the cooking zone perfectly.

• Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.
• Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is always dry and clean to guarantee correct adherence and durability, not only for the cooking zones but also for the cookware itself.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware placed on it because it heats up and rapidly reaches the maximum level, which could damage the heating elements.

General safety

• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or damp hands and feet.

• The appliance must be used by adults only for the preparation of food, in accordance with the instructions provided in this booklet. Do not use the hob as a worktop or chopping board.

• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains immediately and contact a Service Centre.

• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.
• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been switched off. An indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use).
• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high sugar content. Be especially careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or packaging: if placed on surfaces that are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.
• Always make sure that pan handles are turned towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental burns.
• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.
• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids, etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.
• For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other active implants:

The hob complies with all current standards on electromagnetic interference.

Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It is designed not to create interference on any other electrical apparatus being used on condition that the apparatus in question also complies with this legislation. Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic fields.

To avoid any interference between your induction hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with relevant regulations. In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker manufacturer or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible incompatibility.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

- It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.

- If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.

- Food residue and dirt can be removed using a special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations. For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy water.

- If any plastic or sugary substances are accidentally melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.

- Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.

- Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.

* Only available on certain models.

Stainless steel frame *

Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which has been left on the surface for a long time, or by cleaning products containing phosphorus. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.

! Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or degreasing products which are not suitable for use with aluminium.

Disassembling the hob

If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:

1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on each side.

2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in each corner.

3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.

! Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If the appliance breaks down, contact a Service Centre.
