The hob
WARNING!
Only for the ceramic hob models: Do not use
the appliance if the ceramic glass is damaged.
If a fault or crack becomes visible, disconnect
the appliance immediately from the electricity
supply and contact your local service force cen-
tre.
The highest number represents the hottest set-
ting and the lowest number represents the
coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to
the quantity and type of food to be cooked.
Using the hob
The hob part of the appliance is controlled via
a knob with 7 positions on the control panel.
Position "0" means off position. The remaining
6 positions indicate the following types of use:
1: Heat maintenance position
2-3: Heating in low temperature position
4-5-6: Cooking, frying and boiling position
The knob rotation direction may differ according
to the product specification. In case of ZKS5010
models surfaces of hotplates are covered by a
protective layer. At first use, operate the hot-
plates without a pan at level 3 for 5 minutes.This
hardens the protective coating on the hob and
makes it more resistant to normal use. A harm-
less smoke will be given off from the hob.
Recommended saucepans
• Only saucepans with flat bases and close
fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan
base should be approximately the same size
as the cooking area.
• Ensure that new saucepans are well scrub-
bed to remove edges and take off any de-
posits left from manufacture.
• Traditional round-bottomed Woks must not
be used even with a stand. Woks with flat-
bottomed bases are available and do comply
with the above recommendations.
