Using the hob top
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the hob surface. (Please see the “Cleaning and maintenance” section).
oYou should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on the heating elements during transit.
oDo not burn off more than one zone at once.
oYou must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on each zone as you burn it off.
Using the hob top zones
oEach zone on the ceramic hob top is controlled by a control knob.
o To activate a zone, position the control knob between 1 – 6.
oYou should select a control knob position that is suitable for the particular cooking that you are carrying out. 6 is the highest temperature setting and 0 is off.
oWhen you have finished cooking on a particular zone, it is important to make sure that the control knob is turned back to 0 (the off position).
