Most ceramic, copper, or stainless steel cookware is suitable. Avoid aluminum as it can stain. The bottom must be flat and dry, and the diameter at least equal to that of the cooking zone.

Why do the cooking zones turn on and off in cycles?

This is not a fault. The cooking zones operate in on/off cycles of varying lengths depending on the selected power to maintain temperature.

How to turn off the appliance?

To completely turn off the appliance, press the ① sensor for 2 seconds. A long beep and the symbol turning off confirm shutdown.

What does the 'H' display on a cooking zone mean?

This is the residual heat indicator. The cooking zone is still hot. Do not touch it to avoid burns.

• Aluminium receptacles are not advisable as they can stain the glass, unless they have a stainless steel protective base.

• The base of the receptacle must be flat and dry.

• Make sure that the diameters of the receptacles are larger than or the same as the element to be used and place them in the centre of the heat source.

Maintenance and cleaning

• Clean the surface of your hob regularly once it has cooled down. Do not use abrasive products or sponges. Clean with a damp cloth and soapy water (3.1.1).
• Once a week, clean thoroughly with products specifically designed for vetroceramic hobs. We recommend VITRO-CLEN for cleaning and maintaining your vitroceramic hob.
• Stubborn stains can be removed with the glass scraper (3.1.2).
• If you accidentally burn some sugar, sugary elements or plastic on the hob, remove it as soon as possible with a scraper while it is still hot. If this is not done, you may be left with permanent marks.
• Use the blade of the scraper in perfect condition; replace it if is damaged.

Environment

The hob has been designed with protection of the environment in mind.

Be environmentally aware. Use the adequate power for each cooking operation and select the receptacles of a suitable size for the food you are going to prepare. The heat transmission is best when the base of the receptacle and the diameter of the cooking zone are the same size.

When you have finished cooking, if you like you can leave the receptacle where it is to make use

of the residual heat accumulated. This will save energy.

Use a lid whenever you can in order to reduce the heat lost through steam.

Electrical and electronic appliance waste management.

Do not dispose of appliances by mixing them in general domestic waste.

Take your hob to a special collection centre.

The recycling of domestic appliances avoids negative consequences to our health, the environment and enables us to save energy and resources.

For further information, contact your local authority or the establishment from where you purchased your hob.
