where all the controls work normally but the heating
elements do not switch on. To activate the “demo”
mode the hob must be switched on, with all the
hotplates switched off.

simultaneously for 6 seconds. When the 6 seconds
have elapsed, the ON/OFF and CONTROLS
LOCKED indicator lights will flash for one second.

button;
• The display will show the text DE and MO and the
hob will be switched off.
• When the hob is switched on again it will be set to
the “demo” mode.
To exit this mode, follow the procedure described
above. The display will show the text DE and OF and
the hob will be switched off. When it is next switched
on, the hob will function normally.
Practical advice on using the appliance
To obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully
utilise the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all
the available heat.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always
clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the
life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been
used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas
burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it
not to adhere correctly.
