HOW TO USE THE COOKER
TOP
The griddle reaches the working temper-
ature very quickly and can grill any food,
without fat and oil, directly on the radiant
zone's glass-ceramic surface.
Operation of the radiant zone is con-
trolled by a continuous
12-position power regulator.
The signal lamp lights up when the grid-
dle is ON.
USING THE GRIDDLE FOR
THE FIRST TIME
– Remove the adhesive film which pro-
tects some parts.
– Remove any residual glue carefully,
without using abrasive substances, to
avoid scratching the surfaces.
– Clean the cooking surface carefully.
– Switch the griddle on by turning the
power setting knob to the maximum
position (11-12) for about 15 minutes
to remove residual working greases.
USE OF THE GRIDDLE
– Before cooking make sure that the
radiant zone is clean.
– Switch the griddle on by turning the
knob to position 12.
– Preheat until the cooking surface
becomes red.
– Then turn the knob to the position
required. The numbers from 1 to 12
indicate the working positions with
temperature increasing as the number
increases.
– Place the food on the radiant zone and
check the cooking by eye.
– Turn off the griddle by turning the knob
to position “0”.
– As the radiant zone remains hot for
some time after the hob is switched
off, turn the zone off a few minutes
before the end of cooking.
The residual heat will complete the
cooking.
– Do not use the griddle for more than
30 minutes.
TIPS FOR GRILLING:
– Preheat the radiant zone sufficiently to
obtain quick and uniform cooking.
– Do not pour water on the cooking sur-
face when it is switched on or still hot.
– If cooking very fatty foods, leave the
griddle switched on for a few minutes
after cooking is finished, to burn off the
fatty residues.
