WARNING:
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direction,
from the heating elements underneath the
ceramic glass to the pans set on it.
The heat does not spread in a horizontal
direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only
a few centimeters from the cooking plate.
The cooking zones are shown by painted disks
on the ceramic surface.
Before switching on the cooktop make sure
that it is clean.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The heating elements incorporate a
thermolimiter that switches the element ON/
OFF during all settings to protect the ceramic
glass from overheating.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan
positioning will cause the temperature limiter to
operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction
of cooking performance.
The temperature limiter can be seen under the
glass dissecting the element.
This is not a fault with the appliance.
HI-LIGHT RADIANT ZONES
(fig. 2.1)
The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the working
temperature quickly.
These zones are controlled by a continuous energy regulator switch (figs. 2.2a - 2.2b).
The heat intensity can be regulated continuously from “
O
” to “
12
” (max).
Check that the hob is clean and then switch on by turning the control knob.
When the hob is working, the pilot light
will be on.
