8. USING THE COOKING HOB
8.1
Before using the appliance
Metal objects such as cutlery or lids must not be placed on the hob surface as
they can become very hot.
Before using the hob for the first time, pre-heat it to the maximum temperature
long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food
unpleasant odours.
8.2
Cooking zones
The appliance has 4/5 cooking zones of
various diameters and power levels. Their
position is clearly indicated with circles and
heat is released within the diameters traced on
the glass ceramic surface. The 5 cooking
zones are HIGH-LIGHT zones and come on a
few seconds after activation. The heat intensity
can be adjusted using the knobs located on the
front panel from a minimum to a maximum
value.
The cooking zones indicated by two concentric circles (
) allow double
heating, either within the inner circle or in both circles.
The four lights located between the cooking zones come on when the
temperature of one or more of the radiating zones exceeds 60°C.
These lights switch off when the temperature falls below
approximately 60°C.
When the hob is used for the first time, you are advised to heat it to the
maximum temperature long enough to burn off any oily residues from
manufacturing in order to ensure that the food does not absorb odours.
