TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The hob does not work:
•
Check for the presence of mains electrical
power.
•
Set the knob to
“0”
and switch on the hob
again to ensure that the fault has been
remedied.

•
disconnect the hob immediately by
disconnecting the power cable from the socket.
•

disconnect immediately using the fuse box.
•
The cooking hob is equipped with hotplates having
different diameters. Use pots and pans whose bottom
diameter is equal to that of the hotplates, or slightly larger.
•
Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
•
Do not operate a hotplate without placing a container
on it.
•
If possible, keep the container covered when cooking.

Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with a small amount of
water in order to cut down cooking time.

A pressure cooker allows you to save even more energy and
time.
Important:
Never clean the appliance with high pressure
water or steam cleaning equipment.
