INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
Hotplate function principle
• Ceramic glass hob is fitted with three or four hotplates. Hob surface is completely flat and
smooth, without edges to accumulate dirt.
• The hob is fitted with high power induction hotplates. Heat is generated directly at the bottom
of the dish, where it is most needed, without any losses through the ceramic glass surface.
This way the required extent of energy is considerably smaller compared to traditional heaters,
which operate on radiation principle.
• Glass ceramic hotplate is not heated directly, but only by return heat transmitted by the dish.
This heat figures as “remaining heat” after the hotplate is turned off. The induction hotplate
generates heat from the induction coil, installed underneath the ceramic glass surface. The coil
creates magnetic field at the bottom of the dish (which can me magnetized) which in turn
originates whirling flows of current which then heat the hotplate.
Appropriate cookware
for induction hotplates
IMPORTANT!
In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled on the hotplate, wipe it
immediately and remove the sugar residues with a scraper although the cooking zone is still hot,
otherwise the hotplate may be damaged.
Avoid cleaning the cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as you may damage the hob.
• Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if appropriate cookware is used.
• Dish should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.
• The appropriate cookware is the one which enables induction, for example steel, enamel or
steel alloy cookware. Pots made from steel alloy with copper or aluminium bottom, or glass pots
are inappropriate.
• If you use the pressure cooker (“economy pot”) keep it under close surveillance until proper
pressure is obtained. Hotplate should first operate on maximum power, then follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and use the appropriate sensor to decrease the power.
When buying cookware, check if it bears the label “allows induction”.
Magnet test
Use small magnet to test if the dish bottom is magnetic. Only dishes where magnet sticks to the
bottom are suitable for induction cooking.
Dish recognition
One of great advantages of the induction hotplate is dish recognition. Even if there are no dishes
upon the hotplate, or the dish diameter is smaller than the diameter of the relevant hotplate,
there are no thermal energy losses. When the hotplate is on, the power indicator displays letter
“U”. If you place the dish
over that hotplate within the following 10 minutes, the hotplate recognizes the dish and turns on
to the preset power value.
At the moment you remove the dish from the hotplate, power is suspended. If you place smaller
dish upon the hotplate and it is recognized, the hotplate will only use the amount of energy
required to heat the dish according to its size.
Hotplate may be damaged if:
• it is turned on and left empty, or an empty dish is placed on it;
• you use clay dishes which leave scratches on the ceramic glass surface;
• you fail to wipe the dish bottom dry prior placing it on the ceramic glass hotplate; heat induction
is obstructed and the hotplate may be damaged;
• you fail to use the appropriate dishes that can be magnetized: steel dishes, enamel or steel
alloy dishes; induction hotplate will not function otherwise.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• When buying cookware be careful in selecting size: pot diameter usually refers to the top edge
of the dish, which is often larger than the dish bottom.
• Steam-pressure pots (economic pots), which use pressure in tightly sealed interior, are
especially economic, and save both time and energy. Shorter cooking time leaves more vitamins
in food.
• Always leave enough water in steam-pressure pots, otherwise it may result in overheating
which may damage both the pot and the hotplate.
• Always cover the cookware with lids of appropriate size.
• Use such dish size to accommodate the quantity of food to be prepared. If you use excessively
large pot for small amount of food, you will consume considerably more energy.
GAS COOKING ZONES
Important warnings
• If you wish to quickly fry some food, set the gas burner to the maximum power initially and
reduce the power as your continue.
• Gas burners are fitted with thermoelectric protection devices. If the burner flame is
extinguished accidentally or unintentionally (e.g. when some liquid boils over or when
there is draught in the room), gas supply is automatically cut off, thus preventing the gas
to be emitted into the room.
• Gas burner cover should always be placed very carefully on the burner crown. Make sure the
slots on the burner crown are never obstructed.
1 Burner crown cover
2 Burner crown with the support for the burner cover
3 Thermo-element (only with protected burners, available in some models)
4 Spark plug
5 Nozzle
Cookware
• Correctly selected cookware will enable optimum cooking time and gas consumption. Pan
diameter is the most important parameter.
• Flames that reach over the edge of a pan that is too small, can damage the cookware;
furthermore, gas consumption is higher in such cases.
• For combustion, the gas also needs air. If a pan is too large, air supply to the burner is
insufficient; as a result, combustion effect is lesser.
Important warnings regarding the glass ceramic hob
• Cooking zone reaches the selected power level or temperature very quickly; however, the area
surrounding the cooking zones remains relatively cool.
• The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
• The hob is also impact-resistant. The pans may be placed onto the hob roughly without
damaging the hob.
• Glass ceramic hobs should not be used as a worktop. Sharp objects can cause scratches.
• Preparing food in thin aluminum of plastic containers on hot cooking zones is not allowed. Do
not place any plastic objects or aluminum foil on the glass ceramic hob.
• Never use a glass-ceramic hob that is cracked or broken.
If an object falls on the hob with a sharp edge downwards, this could cause the hob / glass
ceramic panel to break. The consequences are visible immediately, or only after a while. If any
visible crack should appear, immediately disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• If sugar is spilt on a hot glass ceramic hob, or a sugar-laden food, immediately wipe the hob.

par plug built into each gas burner (supplied).
Before rotating the knob, it should first be depressed.
Single-handed ignition
• In order to ignite the gas burner, press the selected burner control knob and rotate it to the
maximum power (flame) position. An electric spark will be generated automatically, igniting the
releasing gas.
• If the electric ignition should not work due to a power failure or damp spark plugs, the gas can
also be ignited using a match or a gas lighter. After igniting the gas, keep the control knob
pressed for another ten seconds, until the flame settles.
• The flame can then be set between the maximum and minimum level. Any setting between 0
and the large flame is not recommended, as the flame is not stable in this interval and may be
extinguished.
If the burner hasn’t ignited after the knob has been depressed for 15 seconds, close the
burner and wait at least one minute. Then, repeat the ignition process.
If the burner flame is extinguished (for any reason), close the burner and wait at least one
minute before attempting to re-ignite it.
• To extinguish the flame and close the burner gas supply, rotate
the control knob to the right, to the ‘OFF’ position 0.
CAUTION: The gas cooking appliance use may cause heat, humidity and products of
combustion in the room where is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially
when the appliance is in use: keep open any natural ventilation holes or install a mechanical
ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening
of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical
ventilation where present.
CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when the hob is in use. Young children should be kept
away.
CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other purposes,
for example room heating.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
After each use of the glass-ceramic hob, wait for it to cool down and clean it; otherwise, even the
smallest food residue will be burnt onto the hot surface next time you use the appliance.
For regular cleaning and maintenance of the glass-ceramic surface, use special conditioning
agents which form a protective layer on the surface, shielding it from dirt. Before each use, wipe
any dust or other particles from the hob surface and pan bottom as these could scratch the
surface (Figure 1).
Careful: steel wool, abrasive sponges, and abrasive detergents can scratch the hob surface.
Glass ceramic surface can also be damaged by aggressive sprays and inappropriate or
insufficiently shaken (mixed) liquid cleaning agents (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Signs and indications on the hob may be worn if aggressive cleaning aids are used on cooking
zone edges, or if pans with damaged bottom or used.
Light stains can be removed by a damp soft cloth; then, wipe the surface dry (Figure 3).
Water stains can be removed using a mild solution of vinegar; however, do not use this solution
to clean the frame (only with some models, as it may become dull. Do not use aggressive sprays
or decalcification agents (Figure 3).
Heavier stains can be removed using special agents and utensils for cleaning the glass-ceramic
hobs. When using these products, follow the instructions provided by their respective
manufacturers.
Make sure any residues of cleaning agents are thoroughly removed, as they could damage the
glass-ceramic hob when the cooking zones heat up (Figure 3).
Stubborn and burnt residues can be removed using a scraper.
Make sure the plastic part of the scraper does not come into contact with a hot cooking zone. Be
careful not to cut yourself with the scraper!
Sugar and sugar-laden food may permanently damage the glassceramic
surface (Figure 5); therefore, they should be removed from the glass-ceramic surface as soon
as possible, although the cooking zone may still be hot (Figure 4). Any change in the color of the
glass-ceramic surface does not affect its operation or the stability of the surface.
Such discolorations are mostly a result of burnt food residues or use of cookware made of
materials such as aluminum or copper; these stains are diffi cult to remove.
Warning: All damage described above predominantly relates to the aesthetics, i.e. appearance
of the appliance and do not affect its functionality directly. Such errors cannot be the subject of a
warranty claim.

Gas cooking zones
To clean the grid, cooking hob surface, and parts of the burner, use hot water with some
dishwashing detergent. Clean the thermo-element and the spark plug with a soft brush. These
parts must be kept impeccably clean, as only then will they operate correctly. Clean the crown
and the burner cover. Be particularly careful to keep all exit slots on the crown clean and
unobstructed. After cleaning, dry all parts thoroughly and replace or reassemble them correctly.
Parts that are placed askew will make lighting the burners more difficult.
Warning: Burner covers are coated in black enamel. Due to high temperatures, discoloration is
unavoidable; however, this will not affect the operation of the burners.
