Glass ceramic worktop

The new design concept heating elements make
it possible to reach maximum power in a few se-
conds. Furthermore, the ultra-thick fibreglass in-
sulation prevents heat dispersion, limiting heating
to the silk screen-printed zones only. The 4 (or 5)
heating zones are controlled by 2 switches and 2
(or 3) energy regulators.
The switch controls power in W, which is pre-defi-
ned according to the position set on the knob.
The energy regulator is a device which regulates
power gradually according to the position set on
the knob ( % of maximum power). Control of the
heating zones is automatic, by activating or disa-
bling the heating elements at regular intervals,
thus ensuring precise, uniform heating. E.g.: short
heating periods and long pauses indicate low tem-
perature; long heating periods and brief pauses
indicate a higher temperature. With the energy
regulator, you can totally or partially heat a parti-
cularly zone of the glass ceramic top.

Residual heat

The glass ceramic top is divided into 4 (or 5) hea-
ting zones. To ensure extra safety, it has indicator li-
ghts (residual heat indicators), which light up when
a zone is very hot.
The indicators stay lighted for as long as the hea-
ted zone remains hot, even with the plates OFF:

How to use the glass ceramic top

When using the top for the first time, we advise you
to turn ON the heating zones one at a time for few

We advise you to clean when the glass has
cooled. Wash the glass with the type of liquid
detergent as per supplied sample, or with
soapy water. For stubborn dirt, use the sup-
plied scraper. Do not use abrasive material
such as Scotch bryte, metal sponges or the
like. Take care not to spill sugar while coo-
king, because impossible to remove deposits
could be formed. Any cast-iron pots or with
a rough bottom tend to leave light coloured
traces, which can be removed with a cloth
dampened with vinegar.

minutes, in order to eliminate any humidity accumula-
ted in the insulation.
To avoid heat dispersion and for excellent performan-
ce, we advise you to use pots with a flat, thick bottom.
Furthermore, whenever possible, the pots should be of
the size as the heating zone being used.
The heated zone stays hot for a certain period of time.
You should therefore exploit this by switching the pla-
te off a few minutes before end of cooking, so that you
finish cooking by exploiting the residual heat accumu-
lated by the glass, and save on energy.

When the top is in operation or the residual
heat indicator is ON, take great care, and
keep children away.
Accessible parts of the oven can become
very hot while the grill is operating. Children
should be kept at a safe distance.

if the glass ceramic breaks, disconnect
electric power and call in the John Lewis
Authorised Service Centre.
