Transmission of heat is best when the pan bottom and the cooking zone are of the

same diameter, and the pan is placed on the middle of the cooking zone.
When using a tempered glass (Pyrex) or porcelain cookware, please follow the

cookware manufacturer's instructions.
When using a pressure cooker, do not leave it unattended until the desired pressure is

reached. The cooking zone should initially be set to the maximum power level; as the
pressure rises, use the sensors to decrease the power level according to the pressure
cooker manufacturer's instructions.
Make sure there is always enough water, either in a pressure cooker or in any other

piece of cookware, as using an empty pan on the cooking hob will result in overheating
which will damage both the pan and the cooking zone.
Tempered glass (Pyrex) cookware with a specially brushed bottom is suitable for use on

cooking hobs if it fits the diameter of the cooking zone. Cookware with larger diameter
may break due to thermal stress.
When using any special or unconventional cookware, follow the cookware

manufacturer's instructions.
When a highly reflective pan (bright metal surface) or a pan with a thick bottom is used

for cooking on a glass-ceramic hob, cooking time can be extended by several minutes
(up to 10 minutes). If you wish to boil a larger quantity of food, it is recommended to use
a container with a flat dark bottom.
Pan bottom diameters should match the diameter of the cooking zone. If the pan is too

small, some heat is wasted; furthermore, using a too small pan can damage the cooking
zone.
Whenever possible given the cooking process, use a lid.

The pan should be appropriately sized given the quantity of food prepared. Preparing a

small quantity of food in a large pan will cause a waste of energy.
Dishes that take a long time to cook should be prepared in a pressure cooker.

Various vegetables, potatoes, etc., can be cooked in a small quantity of water; however,

the lid should be closed tightly. When the water is brought to boil, reduce the power
level to a setting that maintains a temperature just above boiling point.
All the indicators light up (for an instant) when the cooker hob is turned on. The cooker
▪
hob is ready for use.
The cooker hob is equipped with electronic sensors that turn on if the relative surfaces
▪
are touched for at least 1 second.
A buzzer sounds every time the sensors turn on.
▪
Do not place any objects on the sensor surface (error signal).
▪
Make sure that the sensor surface is always kept clean.

F.Dual circuit sensor
G. Indicator signalling the additional heating circle
Touch the on/off sensor (A) for at least 1 second. The cooker hob activates and »0«
▪
appears on all the heat setting indicators (B).
The subsequent operation must be effected within 20 seconds or the cooker hob will
▪
turn off.
If the cooker hob was turned on with the on/off sensor (A), the desired cooking zone can
be selected within the next 20 seconds.
• When pressing the sensor (C) for the desired cooking zone, the corresponding display
visualises heat setting »0«.
• Pressing sensors »+« (C) or »-« (E) allows for selecting heat settings 1-9.
