OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Description of the heating elements
The radiant elements A-B-C consist of circular heating
elements. These become red a few seconds after they
have been switched on.
They are extremely easy to use because they are similar
to the other heating elements. Please refer to table 1.
Control knobs
Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob E,
which can be used to continuously adjust the tempe-
rature intensity level to values between a minimum of
1 and a maximum of 12. Table1 lists the
correspondences between the positions indicated on
the knob and the use for which the hotplates are
recommended.
The A-B hotplate control knob usually only activates
the small
/
part of the hotplate. To activate
the entire large hotplate, turn the knob past position
12, to the
/
symbol; a click will indicate that
the entire hotplate has been activated. The tempera-
ture level may now be adjusted to the desired value,
up to level 12, using the same knob.

residual heat indicator lights, one for each cooking zone.
Advice for the operation of the ceramic glass
hob
To achieve the best results using your hob, there are
several basic suggestions which should be taken into
account while cooking or preparing food.
Use pans with a flat base so as to ensure the pan
adheres properly to the cooking zone.
Always use pans with a diameter which is large
enough to cover the cooking zone fully, in order to use
all the available heat.
Make sure that pan bases are always clean and dry,
in order to guarantee perfect contact with the hob and
to safeguard the durability of the hotplates and the
pans themselves.
Do not use cookware which has been used with gas
burners. The concentration of heat from gas burners is
such that it may warp the base of the pan, and therefore
the desired result will never be achieved if it is then
used on the glass ceramic hob.
