Power levels

The progressive control knobs can be used to control the
power needed, from minimum to maximum power.

Protection against overheating

The hob has a protection against overheating system to protect
the electrical installation. This will turn of all burners in case of
overheating and will emit a warning sound.
Turn all control knobs to setting 0. Wait until the appliance has
cooled down sufficiently and turns off. Now you can reconnect

the appliance normally.

Warnings

This appliance will not function if it is not connected to the
mains or if the electricity supply is cut off.
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is
operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours.
This does not pose any risk and does not indicate a
malfunction. They will disappear in time.

An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the

presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition sparkers

are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them periodically
using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the ignition
sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts.

Wok pan
The wok pan diffuses intense

heat uniformly, so that the
food is cooked in less time
and using less oil.
Always follow the manufac-
turer's instructions when cook-

ing with a wok pan.

Use pans which are the right
size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on
large burners. The flame must

not touch the sides of the pan.

Do not use damaged pans,
which do not sit evenly on the

hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick, flat

base.

Do not cook without using a lid
and make sure the lid is

properly fitted. This wastes
energy.

Always centre the pan over the

burner, not to one side.
Otherwise it could tip over.
Do not place large pans on the
burners near the control
knobs. These may be

damaged by the very high
temperatures.
Place the pans on the pan
supports, never directly on the
burner.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner caps are

correctly positioned before
using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on the
hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do
not place excessive weight on

it.
