8. USING THE COOKING HOB
8.1 Cooking zones
The appliance has 4/5 cooking zones with various diameters and
power levels. Their positions are clearly indicated with circles and
heat is released within the diameters traced on the glass 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
and by a
fish cooker allow double heating, either within the inner
circle or in both circles.
The 4/5 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 up 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.
To obtain better results and save energy, only use containers suitable for
cooking on electric cookers:
• The base of the containers must be thick and completely flat; Before placing
a container on the hob, check that both hob and container are completely
clean and dry.
• To avoid scratches to the hob, do not use cast iron containers or containers
with an uneven base.
• In order to avoid wasting energy, make sure that the diameter of the
container base is the same as the diameter of the circle marked on the hob.
Take care not to spill sugar or sugar mixtures on the hob when it is hot. Do not
place materials or substances that could melt on the hob (plastic or aluminium
foil). If melting does occur, in order to avoid compromising the condition of the
hob surface, immediately switch it off and remove the melted material using the
scraper provided, while the hob is still warm.
Failure to clean the glass
ceramic hob straight away
could lead to encrustations which are impossible
to remove once the hob has cooled down.
Important.
Supervise children carefully as they cannot readily see the residual heat warning lights on the hob. The
cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off.
Make sure that children do not touch the hob at any time.
