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

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

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 saucepans and pans with flat bottoms. They ensure easier heat transfer. If the diameter of the saucepan is too small, energy will be wasted.

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.

2. Set the desired time value by touching the "^" and "√" keys.
3. The timer activated for the cooking zone that was set first is indicated with a continuously flashing "☐" LED.
4. More timers can be assigned for other active cooking zones by touching the "⊖" key once again.
5. After 10 seconds, timer display reverts back to the timer that will end first.
6. " " LEDs that illuminate continuously on the timer display indicate the timer that is currently counting down.
7. You can display the values set for cooking zone timers and egg timer by changing the position of "☐" key. A flashing front right "☐" LED always shows an assignment. If no LED is flashing, value of the egg timer will be displayed on the timer screen.

Disabling the timers:

First you must display the timer by changing the position of the "⊖" key until the timer appears. This value can later be cancelled in 2 different ways:

• By decreasing the value step by step to "00" by touching "√" key.
• By touching "^" and "√" keys simultaneously for half second until "00" appears on timer display.

When the time is over, an audible alarm will sound. Touch any key on the touch control panel to silence the audible alarm.

Display the remaining time value of the cooking zone timer 3 (indicator LED flashes) to the timer display (the indicator LEDs of the active timers of the cooking zones 1 and 4 in fact will not be visible on the timer display).

Keep warm function (if any)

Keep Warm function of the cooking zone helps to keep the food warm by selecting an additional

temperature level between 0 and 1. Touch"☐" key to activate the Keep Warm function.

Then, the "☐" LED flashes. Touch the "☐" key again to disable the cooking zone.

Operation time constraints

The hob control is equipped with an operation time limit. When one or more cooking zones are left on unintentionally, the cooking zone will automatically be deactivated after a certain

period of time (see Table-1). The operation time limit depends on the selected temperature setting. If a timer is assigned for the cooking zone, "00" appears on the timer display for 10 seconds (10 seconds later, the residual heat indicator turns on).

Then, the timer display is turned off. After disabling the cooking zone automatically as described above, it becomes operational again and the maximum operation time is applied for this temperature setting.

Table-1: Temperature setting parameters; Cycle time 47.0 seconds

Temperature setting	OFF Time - seconds	ON Time - seconds	Operation time limit - hour	Booster time - seconds
0	0	0	0	-
1	45,6	1,4	6	60

Residual Heat Functions

For a deactivated cooking zone whose surface temperature is sensed to be above 60°C or whose display indicates a value above 60°C, an "H" (residual heat) symbol appears on the display. When the residual heat falls below 60°C, "0" appears on the display.

When power is restored after a power failure and if the residual heat of the relevant cooking zone was above 60°C before the failure, the residual heat display flashes. The display continues to flash until the maximum residual heat time is over or the cooking zone is selected and enabled.

Sensor Calibration and Error Messages

When the supply power is applied, the hob control system performs calibration depending on the sensor, glass, and ambient conditions. Do not cover the glass part of the sensor with anything during calibration. The hob control system should also not be exposed to strong light sources such as sunlight, strong halogen lamps, etc.

Table-2: Error codes and error sources

Cause of error	Display
Ambient light is too high	F1
Fluorescent lamp	F2
Sensor is covered with a bright substance	F3
Ambient light is fluctuating strongly	F4

Sample application:

The following lighting conditions will allow a smooth calibration:

Illumination with a bulb without a reflector (100W, dull) 70 cm above the glass ceramic hob. After a successful calibration, it is warranted that the hob will operate as intended even under strong illumination such as a halogen spot lamp with reflector (50 W).

If an error occurs, calibration is repeated until the ambient conditions allow for a successful calibration. The hob control system can only be operated when the calibration of all sensors is successful.

You must remove all substances on the hob during calibration. Also, the ambient illumination should not be too strong during calibration. If one of the F1, F2, or F4 messages is obtained, the user must turn off all light sources or close the

window during the calibration process at first connection to the supply power. When the calibration is completed successfully, the control system can tolerate high amounts of ambient light. The hob control system adopts and recalibrates itself according to changes in ambient conditions while it is in use.

Touch control is equipped with a sensor ensuring protection against overheating. The relevant cooking zone will be deactivated when reacting to this sensor. To obtain more information about the error messages, please see the table.

If a key is activated repeatedly (for longer than 10 seconds), the entire control system is deactivated and an audio signal is given.

6 Maintenance and care

General information

The service life of the product will extend and the possibility of problems will decrease if the product is cleaned at regular intervals.

DANGER:

Disconnect the product from the mains supply before starting maintenance and cleaning works.

There is the risk of electric shock!

DANGER:

Allow the product to cool down before you clean it.

Hot surfaces may cause burns!

• Clean the product thoroughly after each use. In this way, it will be possible to remove cooking residues more easily, thus avoiding these from burning the next time the appliance is used.
• No special cleaning agents are required for cleaning the product. Use warm water with washing liquid, a soft cloth or sponge to clean the product and wipe it with a dry cloth. Always ensure any excess liquid is thoroughly wiped off after cleaning and any spillage is immediately wiped dry.
• Do not use cleaning agents that contain acid or chloride to clean the stainless or inox surfaces and the handle. Use a soft cloth with a liquid detergent (not abrasive) to wipe those parts clean, paying attention to sweep in one direction.

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.

Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance as this may cause an electric shock.

Cleaning the hob

Glass ceramic surfaces

Wipe the glass ceramic surface using a piece of cloth dampened with cold water in a manner as not to leave any cleaning agent on it. Dry with a soft and dry cloth. Residues may cause damage on the glass ceramic surface when using the hob for the next time.

Dried residues on the glass ceramic surface should under no circumstances be scraped with hook blades, steel wool or similar tools.

Remove calcium stains (yellow stains) by a small amount of lime remover such as vinegar or lemon juice. You can also use suitable commercially available products.

If the surface is heavily soiled, apply the cleaning agent on a sponge and wait until it is absorbed well. Then, clean the surface of the hob with a damp cloth.

Sugar-based foods such as thick cream and syrup must be cleaned promptly without waiting the surface to cool down. Otherwise, glass ceramic surface may be damaged permanently.

Slight color fading may occur on coatings or other surfaces in time. This will not affect operation of the product.

Color fading and stains on the glass ceramic surface is a normal condition, and not a defect.
