15 USE
Tips for use
Control panel
Keep the control panel clean. Do not place
objects on the touch controls. This will switch
off the hob and a fault code will appear. See
page 18, "Faults".
Pans
Use the hob for cooking only. A grain of sand
can cause a scratch that cannot be removed.
Do not slide pans across the hob surface and
do not clean vegetables on it (see fig. 1).
Use pans that are suitable for cooking by
electricity. Place only pans with a clean dry
base on the hob zones. This will prevent
marking by lime-scale or other stains that are
difficult to remove.
Do not use pans that are smaller than the
cooking zone. This will prevent food spills on
the very hot cooking zone. Burnt-on food spills
are difficult to remove (see fig. 2).

Before use of the appliance
The appliance should only be connected by a
qualified fitter (see electrical connection).
Disconnect the appliance before starting with
cleaning or reparation. Preferably by taking
the plug out of the socket or by turning off the
mains switch.
Be careful when you are using earthenware,
glass or metal objects above the cooking
surface. A dropped herb jar, for example, can
cause a crack.
If a crack appears in the hob surface you must
switch off or disconnect the appliance from
the mains. Do not use the appliance anymore
and get in touch with the Service department.
This cooking appliance is designed for
domestic use. Do not use the appliance for
any purpose other than food preparation.
When cooking the hob becomes hot, children
should always be kept at a distance.
The cooking surface must not be used for
storage.
Plastic or aluminium foil should never be used
as a container for the preparation of dishes
(for example aluminium deepfreeze
containers). Plastic and aluminium foil will
melt and stick to your hob and can never be
removed.
Grease and oil are flammable when over-
heated. Stay near the cooker when preparing
dishes.
Things to watch for
When you first connect the appliance to the
mains it will test itself automatically and the
displays will light briefly.
If you do not select a setting within 5 seconds
the zone will switch itself off automatically.
Cords to electrical appliances - e.g. a mixer -
may accidentally touch the cooking zones.
The zones must not be used without pans.
Never put aluminium foil directly on the zone.
Do not place any inflammable or deformable
objects immediately under the hob.
Clean the hob with soapy water. We advise
you to treat the glass plate with Collo Profi
before using your hob for the first time (see
section on maintenance).
