 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.

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.

When the hob is switched on, it is possible to lock

the oven controls in order to avoid accidental

changes being made to the settings (by children,
during cleaning, etc.). Press the 

 button to lock

the control panel: the indicator light above the button

will switch on.

To use any of the controls (e.g. to stop cooking),
you must switch off this function. Press the 
button for a few moments, the indicator light will

switch off and the lock function will be removed.
