EN 9
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans!
The enamel may chip (the enamel comes
loose from the steel), if you switch the hob on at a high setting when the pan is (too) dry.
The base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to overheating or to the use of too
high a power level.
• Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with
the operation of the overheating protection, so that the appliance becomes too hot.
This may lead to the glass top cracking and the pan base melting.
• Damage arising from the use of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is excluded from the
guarantee.
Minimum pan diameter
• The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least:
▷
110 mm for a cooking zone ø 175 mm
▷
120 mm for a cooking zone ø 215 mm
• You will achieve the best results by using a pan with the same diameter as the zone.
If a pan is too small the cooking zone will not work.
Power level setting
The cooking zones have 9 levels. Beside it there is a level ‘boost’ (P). If you have switched on the
hob the required cooking zone can be chosen within the next 20 seconds. Set the power level
by touching the slide control. At the first touch, the level is set according to the part of the slide
control that you touch. By sliding along the control, the power level setting is changing.
By sliding to the right, the level increases, while sliding to the left decreases the level. When you
move your finger away from the slide control, the cooking zone starts to operate at the level set.
Boost function
• You can use the boost function on the large cooking zones ø 215 mm to cook at the highest
power level during a short period of time (max. 5 minutes). After the maximum boost time the
power will be reduced to setting 9.
• You can use the boost function on the small cooking zones ø 175 mm to cook continuously
at the highest power level.
