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.
Switching the cooking zones on and off
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the corresponding
knob in a clockwise direction.
To switch it off again, turn the knob in an anticlockwise
direction until it is in the “0” position.
If the COOKING ZONE ON indicator light is lit, this
shows that at least one pf the cooking zones on the
hob is switched on.
Cooking zones
The hob is equipped with electric heating elements.
When they are in use the following items on the hob
become red.
The hob is equipped with electric hilite heating
elements. When they are in use the following items on
the hob become red.
A. The cooking zone with radiant
heating elements.
B.The cooking zone with a hilite
heating element.
C. The residual heat indicator
light: this indicates that
the temperature of the
corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C,
even when the heating element has been switched off
but is still hot.
Cooking zones with hilite heating elements
These emit heat via radiation from the hilite lamps they
contain. They have similar properties to gas burners:
they are easy to control and reach set temperatures
quickly, allowing you to actually see the power they are
providing.
Description of the heating elements
The circular radiant heating elements become red 10 -
20 seconds after they have been switched on.
The circular hilite heating elements guarantee even
heat distribution in addition to the usual advantages
that hilite heating elements bring.
Hilite lamps emit high levels of heat and light as soon
as they are switched on, offering the following practical
advantages:
· rapid heating (in relation to a gas burner)
· rapid cooling
· even temperature across the whole surface (due to
the circular heating elements).
They are similar to the other cooking zones on the hob
and are therefore easy to use. To ensure you use the
hob correctly, all you need to do is consult the cooking
tables in the instruction booklet.
Practical advice on using the hob
• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that they
adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter that is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all
the heat produced.
• Always make sure that the base of the pan is
completely clean and dry: this ensures that the pans
adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and that both
the pans and the hob remain effective for a longer
period of time.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas
burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may
have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to
adhere to the surface correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a
pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone to
become damaged.
