How to use the cooking zones
The heating areas are the circles marked on the
hob. Use pots and pans that completely cover the
circles.
IMPORTANT:
Remember:
- Place the pan on the cooking zone before
turning the control on.
- Use pots and pans with flat, solid bases.
- Use pots with the same diameter as the
cooking zones or slightly larger.
- Dry the bottom of the pot before putting it on
the cooking zone.
- Do not scrape the pot along the glass. This will
damage it.
- While you are using the hotplate, please, keep
children well away. Make sure that pot
handles are in a safe position. Never leave a
pan of fat or cooking oil unattended.
- Cooking zones stay hot after use for some
time; don’t leave objects on the hob or touch
the top until the residual heat indicator light is
off.
- Don’t use plastic pots or aluminium sheets on
the hob.
- Don’t use hob as a work surface.
CAUTION:
- If a crack in the hob surface becomes
visible, due to accidental damage etc., isolate the
appliance from the electricity supply immediately by
turning it off at the wall and arrange for its repair.
DO NOT RECONNECT THE HOB TO THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UNTIL AFTER REPAIR!
Before any cleaning operation, disconnect the
appliance from the electric circuit.
