4.3 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.
5. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to the Safety chapters.
5.1 Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids
on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a solid hot-
plate before you start it.
• Stop the solid hotplate before
the end of the cooking time to
use residual heat.
• For satisfactory results, the bot-
tom of pans must have the
same dimensions (or slightly
larger) as solid hotplates. Do
not use smaller pans.
5.2 Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.
WARNING!
Make sure that pots do not cover
the control zone.
Use pots and pans with bottom
applicable to the dimension of
burner.

6. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to the Safety chapters.
Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
WARNING!
Before any maintenance or clean-
ing can be carried out, you must
disconnect the hob from the elec-
tricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned while it is
still warm, as spillage can be re-
moved more easily than if it is left
to cool.
WARNING!
Sharp objects and abrasive clean-
ing agents will damage the appli-
ance.
For your safety, do not clean the
appliance with steam blasters or
high-pressure cleaners.
