Environmental Tips
• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of cooking time to take advantage of residual heat.
• Residual heat can be used for keeping food warm.
• Place lids on the cookware whenever possible to minimize heat loss.
• Cookware base size and cooking zone should be of same size for better heat efficiency.
• Select a smaller cookware size if cooking small food quantities. A smaller pan size uses less energy than a
larger pan with small food quantities.
• Lift cookware into positions on the hob. Sliding them can cause scuffs and scratches on the hob surface.
Using the Touch Controls
• The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them.
Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
New appliances have a slight smell on first use. The
unpleasant odour that is often detected during initial
use is caused by the burning of protective substances
used during the manufacturing process. The odour
emitted does not indicate a faulty appliance nor is
harmful to health.
Remove packaging material
Ensure that all packaging material is removed before
using the hob for the first time.
