6. USING THE COOKING HOB
6.1
General warnings and advice
The appliance has 4 cooking zones of various diameters and power
levels. Their position is clearly indicated with circles and heat is released
within the diameters traced on the glass ceramic surface. The 4 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 circle
+ fish kettle
allow double heating, either within the inner circle or in
both circles.
The four indicator 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 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.
For best cooking results and energy saving, only use containers suitable
for electric cooking:
• The bases of containers must be very thick, perfectly flat and clean
and dry. The hob must also be clean and dry.
• Do not use cast iron saucepans or saucepans with a rough base, as
they may scratch the cooking surface.
• The diameter of the base of the saucepans must be equal to the
diameter of the circle outlining the cooking zone. If not, energy will be
wasted.
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 indicator 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.
