How to use

Place compatible cookware on the marked cooking zones and select the required power or temperature using the control panel.

Regularly clean the cooled glass-ceramic surface with appropriate non-abrasive cleaners to maintain performance and appearance.

What to consider before purchase

• Available countertop cut-out dimensions and compatibility with built-in installation
• Electrical supply requirements and whether professional installation is needed
• Cookware compatibility with glass-ceramic and induction (if induction zones are present)
• Desired number and size of cooking zones relative to typical cookware

Usage recommendations

Use flat-bottomed, clean cookware for best heat transfer and avoid sliding heavy pots across the glass-ceramic to prevent scratches. Rely on residual heat indicators to plan cooling time and consider a professional installer for electrical connection to ensure safe operation.
