Advice on energy-saving
The diameter of the base of the pan must
correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
• When buying a pot, check whether the
diameter indicated is that of the base or the
top,
as the top is almost always larger than the base.
• The base of the cookware must be thick and
completely flat. In addition, the hob should
be clean and dry as well.
• When preparing dishes with long cooking
times, you can save time and energy by
using a pressure cooker, which also makes it
possible to preserve the vitamins in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker contains
enough liquid as, if there is not enough and
it overheats, this may cause damage to both
the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover the pans with a
suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
saucepan leads to a waste of energy.
• Do not use cast-iron cookware or cookware
with a rough base.
Residual heat
The indicator lights located between the
cooking zones come on when the temperature
of one or more of the radiant zones exceeds
60°C. These indicator lights switch off when the
temperature falls below approximately 60°C.
Power level table
The power in the cooking zones can be
adjusted to various levels. In the table below
you will find instructions for the different types of
cooking.

not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe
the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week using
an ordinary glass ceramic cleaning product.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The silicon in these products creates a
protective, water-repellent membrane which
also resists dirt. All marks stay on the membrane
and can therefore be removed easily. After
cleaning, dry the surface with a clean cloth.
Make sure that there is no detergent left on the
cooking surface as it might undergo an
aggressive reaction when heated up and could
modify the structure of the cooking surface.
Food stains or residues
Light coloured marks from pans with aluminium
bases can be easily cleaned off with a cloth
moistened in vinegar. Remove any burnt-on
residues after cooking; then rinse with water and
dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Dirt, which
may have fallen on the hob while cleaning
lettuce or potatoes, can scratch the hob when
moving pans. Consequently, remove any dirt
from the cooking surface immediately. Changes
in colour do not affect the operation and
stability of the glass. These are not alterations to
the material of the hob but just residues which
have not been removed and have then
carbonised. Shiny surfaces can form due to the
bases of pans, especially aluminium ones,
rubbing on the surface, and due to the use of
unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to
remove using conventional cleaning products. It
may be necessary to repeat the cleaning
process several times. Use of corrosive
detergents or rubbing of pan bases can wear
away the decoration on the hob over time and
contribute to the formation of stains.
What to do if...
The hob does not work:
• Make sure that the hob is connected and
that the main switch is turned on.
• Make sure that there is no power failure.
• Make sure that the fuse has not blown. In
this case replace the fuse.
• Make sure that the circuit breaker of the
residential electrical system has not tripped.
In this case, reset the circuit breaker.
The cooking results are unsatisfactory:
• Make sure that the cooking temperature is
not too high or too low.
• Make sure that the hob has proper
ventilation and that the air intakes are
completely free.
The hob smokes:
• Let the hob cool down and clean it once
cooking is complete.
• Make sure that the food has not spilled out
of the pan and use a larger cooking vessel,
if needed.
The fuses blow or the circuit breaker of the
residential electrical system trips repeatedly.
• Call Technical Support or an electrician.
There are cracks or fissures in the hob:
• Turn off the appliance immediately,
disconnect the power supply and contact
Technical Support.
