It is important to note that the plate may smoke
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when
used for the first time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a short while.
Using the hotplates
The control panel incorporates knobs to operate the four
hot plates. The cooking zones and relevant control knobs
are of two types:
A)normal cooking zone: the control knob (fig. 1) is a 7
position control knob: 0 = off and 1-3 indicate the
levels of power up to the mawimum.
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum
(3) for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and
then adjusted to the required setting.
B)double circuit cooking zone (front left)
- To switch on the smaller cooking zone, turn the
relevant control knob (fig. 2) to the required heat setting
between 1 and 3.
- To switch on both heating elements, turn the control
knob to maximum heat setting (3) then turn the knob
further to nearly reach the 0 symbol. You will hear a
click and the wider cooking zone will switch on.
Then turn back the knob and adjust it to the required
heat setting. Now the two heating elements will ope-
rate together, giving a higher power output that a
normal cooking zone.
Hob pilot lights
The ceramic glass hob is equipped with four pilot lights
corresponding to each cooking zone. The corresponding
light turns on some minutes after the plate has been set
into operation, and stays on during the whole time of
functioning and also when the plate is off to show the
presence of residual heat in the pyroceram surface.
The pilot light turns finally off only when the surface
temperature decreases to safety values (lukewarm tem-
perature), more o less 50°C, allowing users to clean the
plate with no risk.
