Operating the appliance
To switch on and increase the heat setting turn the knob
counterclockwise. To decrease the heat setting turn the
knob clockwise. To switch off turn the knob to the 0.
Power indicator is activated when either of the zones are
turned on, and will stay on until the cooking zones are
switched off.
Before first use
Set the maximum position and run the hob for 10 minutes,
to burn off any residues of manufacturing. After that run
hob at minimum position for 20 minutes. During this pe-
riod an odour and smoke can be emitted. This is normal.
Make sure the airflow is sufficient.
Rapid hot plate
A red dot in the middle of the plate shows a rapid hot plate.
A rapid hot plate heats up faster than usual plates.
The red dot is painted on the surface and can come off
after some time. It does not have an effect on the per-
formance of the appliance.
The rapid hot plate can smoke and make an odour when
you use it for the first time. The smoke and an odour will
go off after a while.
Helpful hints and tips
Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and
flat as possible.
Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a solid hotplate before you start
it.
• Stop the solid hotplate before the end of the cooking
time to use residual heat.
• For satisfactory results, the bottom of pans must have
the same dimensions (or slightly larger) as solid hot-
plates. Do not use smaller pans.

earthenware pans or cast iron plates. Do not use alumi-
nium foil to prevent damage the top during operation.
