Instructions for use, installation and connection

Tips for purchasing crockery

• Good quality dishes feature thick flat bottom. Uneven

bottom of the dish causes increased consumption of energy

and extended cooking time.

• When purchasing new crockery carefully check if the

diameter quoted refers to the upper rim or the bottom. The

latter is usually always smaller.

• Use of pressure cookers additionally saves energy, since

food is prepared in a closed dish and under pressure.

Furthermore, shorter cooking time preserves the vitamin

contents.

• When using high radiation (bright metal surface) crockery, or

thick bottom dishes for preparing food on the glass ceramic

hob, the period of reaching the boiling point may be

prolonged for certain time (up to 10 minutes). Consequently,

if you need to boil considerable amount of liquid, it is

recommended to use the dark, flat bottom pot.

Tips for effective use of crockery

• The best transfer of energy is obtained if the bottom

diameter of the dish is identical to the hotplate diameter, and

if the dish is placed exactly in the center of the hotplate.

• If the diameter differs, it is always better to have bigger

crockery than smaller. The loss of energy is greater, and

stains may be burned to the hotplate.

• Use pot lids and cover your cookware whenever possible.

• The dish size should always suit the quantity of food.

Excessively big pot wastes too much energy.

• Reduce power regulation towards the end of cooking, and

switch the hotplate off before cooking is complete, to be able

to use the remaining heat.

• Always provide adequate quantity of water when cooking in

the pressure cooker. Lack of water may cause damage to

the dish and to the hotplate.

• Temperature resistant glass cookware is suitable for use

with the hotplate if the bottom diameter of such dish is

adequate to the diameter of the hotplate. Dish protruding

over the hotplate edge may break as a consequence of

created thermal tension.

• When using special cookware, always follow the

manufacturer's instructions.

Tips for the use of oven

• If possible use dark, silicone coated or enamel baking pans,

because of their excellent thermal conductivity.

• Preheating of oven is necessary only if recommended by the

recipe or if written in the chart below.

• Heating of empty oven consumes a lot of energy. Save it by

baking several pizzas or cakes consecutively, one after the

another, while the oven is still warm from the previous

one.Towards the end of baking, the oven may be switched

off about 10 minutes before the pletion, thereby making use

of the remaining.

Hotplates

Important warnings!

• Never switch on empty hotplates, without dishes, and never

use hotplates for heating the ambience!

• Keep the hotplates and the cookware clean, because dirt

may affect your cooking results.

• Hot oil or grease is highly inflammable, so the

preparation of food with large quantities of oil (chips)

should be under constant surveillance at all times.

Special warning for glass ceramic hob

(certain models only)

• Glass ceramic hob is tough, but not unbreakable. Should

any sharp or heavy objects fall upon the surface, they may

cause damage.

• If you discover any visible cracks upon the glass ceramic

surface, you may not use the hob anymore, because there is

an electric shock hazard. In such cases switch all the

hotplates off and unscrew the fuse or switch off the main

switch to disconnect the appliance completely from the

mains. Call the nearest service center.

• Sand particles or rough wrought iron pot bottoms may also

produce scratches upon the glass ceramic surface.

• In case the glass ceramic hob is used as a worktop it may

be damaged or scratched. Never heat up the food in

aluminum foil or plastic dishes, otherwise you may damage

the hob or cause melting of material and fire.

• Bottom of the dish must correspond to the diameter of the

hotplate.

• Red hotplate may sometimes glow over the marked rim,

depending upon the observing angle.

Special warning for hotplates

(certain models only)

• Never place wet dishes or steaming lids upon the hotplate.

Humidity may damage hotplates.

• Never cool down hot dishes upon idle hotplates, because

condensation below the dish may cause corrosion of the

hotplate.

Operation of hotplates

Hotplates are controlled by knobs, located at the control panel.

Symbols adjacent to the knobs indicate their location.

Heating power is regulated in steps.

It is recommended to switch the hotplate off 3-5 minutes before

the completion of cooking, and use the remaining accumulated

heat.

Following are the recommended power regulations.

Express hotplate (certain models only)

is more powerful than the regular one, which means that it

heats up much quicker.

It is marked by the red dot in the middle, which may

disappear with time due to repeated cleaning.
