Start-up and use
! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of
grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we
recommend you remove these with a special non-
abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours
of use there may be a smell of rubber which will
disappear very quickly.
! A few seconds after the hob is connected to the
electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may
now be switched on.
! If the
-
or
+
button is pressed for an extended
period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the
power levels and timer minutes.
Switching on the hob
To switch the hob on, press and hold the button
for approximately one second.
Switching on the cooking zones
Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector button
and a power adjustment device consisting of a
double
-
and
+
button.
• To begin operating a cooking zone, press the
corresponding control button and set the desired
power level (between 0 and 9) using the buttons
-
and
+
.
Switching off the cooking zones
To switch off a cooking zone, select it using the
corresponding selector button and:
• Press the
-
button: the power of the cooking zone
will progressively decrease until it is switched off.
Heating elements
Two types of heating element may be installed,
depending on the appliance model: halogen and
radiant elements.
Halogen elements emit heat via radiation from the
halogen lamps they contain.
They have similar properties to gas burners: they are
easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly,
allowing you to see the power level instantly.
Radiant elements consist of a series of coils which
allow heat to be distributed evenly at the base of
the cookware, so that all slow-flame cooking may be
performed successfully, for example stews, sauces or
reheated dishes.
