Turning On/Off

To turn on the hob, touch the main power symbol on the control panel. To turn off, touch and hold the main power symbol until the display turns off.

Adjusting Heat Levels

Each cooking zone has independent controls. Select the desired cooking zone by touching its corresponding control. Then, adjust the heat level using the '+' and '-' symbols. There are 9 electric power levels available.

Using the Cooking Time Programmer

The hob features an independent programmer for each cooking zone. To set a cooking time, select the zone, then activate the timer function and adjust the duration using the '+' and '-' controls. The zone will automatically switch off once the set time has elapsed.

Security Blocking (Child Lock)

To activate the security blocking feature, touch and hold the lock symbol on the control panel. This prevents accidental operation, especially by children. To deactivate, touch and hold the lock symbol again until it unlocks.

Residual Heat Indicator

After a cooking zone has been used, the residual heat indicator (usually an 'H' symbol) will illuminate on the display. This indicates that the surface is still hot and caution should be exercised. The indicator will turn off once the zone has cooled down to a safe temperature.

Care and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your vitroceramic hob.

Cleaning the Hob Surface

• Always ensure the hob is cool before cleaning.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge with a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for ceramic or glass hobs.
• For stubborn stains, use a hob scraper designed for ceramic surfaces, holding it at a shallow angle.
• Wipe off any spills immediately, especially sugary liquids, to prevent them from burning onto the surface.
• Avoid using abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or steam cleaners, as these can damage the glass ceramic surface.

General Care Tips
