When the hob is first installed
1 Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the
hob including the advertising labels and any protec-
tive film, before using the hob.
3 When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum
briefly. This is a characteristic of all ceramic glass
cooking zones and does not impair either the func-
tion or the life of the appliance.
Hints and Tips on cooking and frying
Cookware
• You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of
the pans. The bottom should be as thick and flat as possi-
ble.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or
copper bottoms can leave discolourations on the ceramic
glass surface which can be impossible to remove.
Energy saving
2 Always place cookware on the cooking zone before
it is switched on.
2 If possible, always place lids on the pans.
2 Switch cooking zones off before the end of the cook-
ing time, to take advantage of residual heat.
2 Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the
same size.
