The hob
WARNING!
Only for the ceramic hob models: Do not use
the appliance if the ceramic glass is damaged.
If a fault or crack becomes visible, disconnect
the appliance immediately from the electricity
supply and contact your local service force cen-
tre.
The highest number represents the hottest set-
ting and the lowest number represents the
coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to
the quantity and type of food to be cooked.

Using the hob

The hob part of the appliance is controlled via
a knob with 7 positions on the control panel.
Position "0" means off position. The remaining
6 positions indicate the following types of use:
1: Heat maintenance position
2-3: Heating in low temperature position
4-5-6: Cooking, frying and boiling position
The knob rotation direction may differ according
to the product specification. In case of ZKS5010
models surfaces of hotplates are covered by a
protective layer. At first use, operate the hot-
plates without a pan at level 3 for 5 minutes.This
hardens the protective coating on the hob and
makes it more resistant to normal use. A harm-
less smoke will be given off from the hob.

Recommended saucepans

Only saucepans with flat bases and close
fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan
base should be approximately the same size
as the cooking area.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrub-
bed to remove edges and take off any de-
posits left from manufacture.
Traditional round-bottomed Woks must not
be used even with a stand. Woks with flat-
bottomed bases are available and do comply
with the above recommendations.
