Start-up and use

The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special non- abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.

A few seconds after the hob is connected to the electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may now be switched on.

If the - or + button is pressed for an extended

period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power levels and timer minutes.

Switching on the hob

To switch the hob on, press and hold the button for approximately one second.

Switching on the cooking zones

Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector

button		and a power adjustment device

consisting of a double - and + button.

•To begin operating a cooking zone, press the corresponding control button and set the desired

power level (between 0 and 9) using the buttons - and +.

Booster function*

The booster function for some of the cooking zones may be used to shorten heating-up times. It may be

activated by pressing the button. The indicator

light directly above the button will illuminate. This function boosts the power to 2000 W or 3000 W, depending on the size of the relevant cooking zone. The booster stops automatically after 4 minutes. While the booster for one of the cooking zones is active, the corresponding front or rear cooking zone will operate at a reduced power level (e.g. if the booster for the rear left-hand hotplate has been activated, the power level of the front left-hand hotplate will be reduced). For further information, please refer to the Technical

description of the models.
