Manual for ZG 1102 / ZGW 1302 / ZGW 1302 X

Operating your hob

Cooking zones

• The cooking zones are clearly marked on the ceramic surface.
• They are operated by the corresponding switch box or built-in oven.
• The dimensions of the cooking zones are such that they accommodate standard sized saucepans.

Cooking equipment

• Specially tested cooking pans for ceramic hobs exist. Pay attention to the declaration of the manufacturer.
• Cooking pans with aluminium or copper bottoms can cause metallic discolouration. Be especially careful in using enamel pans. Avoid heating empty pans.
• For optimal energy consumption and cooking time, consider the following:
• Bottom of pans: Should be flat and solid. Rough edges can scratch the surface.
• Size of pans: Should correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
• Lid of pans: Prevents heat escape, shortens heating-up time, and reduces energy consumption.

Maintenance

• Use non-aggressive detergents and soft sponges.
• Cleaning after each use: Wipe off slight soiling with a damp cloth. Burnt soiling requires a scraper followed by a damp cloth.
• Stain removal: Metallic stains and calcareous deposits can be removed with special detergents.
• Sugar, sugar-containing food, plastic objects or kitchen foil: Scrape off immediately while the zone is still hot. Clean with a special detergent after cooling.
• Detergents are available in supermarkets and shops. Scrapers are available in craft and department stores.
• Do not apply detergents on hot zones; let them dry and wipe off. Ensure no residue remains, as it could corrode.

Installation

• Cut out worktop according to template measurements.
• Check seal for fit.
• Lower hob and align correctly.
• Fasten using brackets and tension clamps on the underside of the worktop. Do not overtighten. Use a screwdriver with an adjustable safety clutch (1-1.1 Nm).
• Connect to approved control boxes only.
• Ensure a minimum distance of 20 mm between the hob underside and furniture.
• Electrical connection must be done by a trained technician.

What to do in case of a defect

• Zone not heating: Check if the fuse is on.
• Buzzing sound: This is normal and stops with increasing heat.
• Discolouring: This is burnt food residue and does not affect function or durability.
• Before calling service, ensure correct operation and that the fuse is not blown.
• Attention! If fissures or cracks appear, switch off immediately, disconnect from mains and inform the service department.
• Important! For service, have type, model, and product-no. ready (found on the rating plates).
