Operation
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
Put cookware containing water on each cook-
ing zone, set the maximum position and operate
the appliance for 10 min. This is to burn off the
residue in the appliance. After that, operate the
appliance at minimum position for 20 min. Dur-
ing this period, an odour and smoke can occur.
This is normal. Make sure that the airflow is suf-
ficient.
After this operation, clean the appliance with a
soft cloth soaked in warm water.
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 performance 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.
Warning! Pots must not enter the control
zone.
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 hotplates. Do
not use smaller pans.

Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest scientific
knowledge, if you brown food (specially the one
which contains starch), acrylamides can pose a
health risk. Thus, we recommend that you cook
at the lowest temperatures and do not brown
food too much.
