4.4 Before first use
Put on all cooking zones a pan filled with
some water. Set the maximum position
and operate the appliance for approxi-
mately 10 minutes until water inside the
pans boils. After that, operate the appli-
ance at minimum position for 20 minutes.
During this period, an odour and smoke
can occur. This is normal. Make sure that
the airflow is sufficient.
After this operation, clean the appliance
with a soft cloth soaked in warm water.

5. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to the Safety chapters.
5.1 Energy saving
• If possible, always put the lids
on the cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking
zone before you start it.
• Stop the electrical cooking
zones before the end of the
cooking time to use residual
heat.
• The bottom of pans and electri-
cal cooking zones must have
the same dimensions.
5.2 Cookware
• The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled
steel and with aluminium or
copper bottoms can cause the
colour change on glass-ceramic
surface.
• When the liquid starts to boil, turn down
the flame to barely simmer the liquid.
Use cookware with diameters applicable
to the size of burners.
Burner Diameters of cook-
ware
Rapid 160 - 260 mm
Semi-rapid 120 - 220 mm
Auxiliary 80 - 160 mm
WARNING!
Do not use cast iron pans, pot-
stones, grill or toaster plates on
gas burners.
WARNING!
Make sure that the bottoms of
pots do not stand above the con-
trol knobs. If the control knobs are
under the bottoms of pots, the
flame heats them up.
Do not put the same pan on two
burners.
