o You must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on each zone as you burn it off.

Switching a zone on o Each individual zone has an ON/OFF button (2). o Press the ON/OFF button of the cooking zone that you wish to use.
Turning off a zone o Press the ON/OFF button of the zone that you wish to switch off. After a few seconds the zone will switch off. o If you have other zones that are still in use, then they will not switch off. o Before leaving the hob unattended, you must ensure that all of the cooking zones are switched off. Press the minus button (3) until the zone reaches zero. o The zone will switch off immediately.
Safety cut-off o If one or more of the cooking zones are accidentally left on, a safety cut off will activate after a certain period of time.

o If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets. o Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat. o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking times. o Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob top if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface.
