normal. Make sure that the airflow is suffi-
cient.
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.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a solid hotplate be-
fore you start it.
• Stop the solid hotplate before the
end of the cooking time to use resid-
ual heat.
• For satisfactory results, the bottom
of pans must have the same dimen-
sions (or slightly larger) as solid hot-
plates. Do not use smaller pans.
Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware must
be as thick and flat as possible.

Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest
scientific knowledge, if you brown food
(specially the one which contains starch),
acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus,
we recommend that you cook at the lowest
temperatures and do not brown food too
much.
CARE AND CLEANING
Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
Warning! Before any maintenance or
cleaning can be carried out, you must
disconnect the hob from the electricity
supply.
The hob is best cleaned while it is still
warm, as spillage can be removed
more easily than if it is left to cool.
Warning! Sharp objects and abrasive
cleaning agents will damage the
appliance.
For your safety, do not clean the appli-
ance with steam blasters or high-pres-
sure cleaners.
The stainless steel can become tarnished if
it is too much heated. Refer to this you
must not cook with potstones, earthenware
pans or cast iron plates. Do not use alumi-
nium foil to prevent damage the top during
operation.
Stainless steel parts wash with water, and
then dry with a soft cloth.
Scratches or dark stains have no effect
on how the appliance operates.
Removing the dirt:
1. Use the fine scouring powder or a
scouring pad to remove the dirt.
2. Clean the appliance with a damp cloth
and some detergent.
3. Heat the hotplate to a low temperature
and leave to dry.
