6. USING THE COOKING HOB

6.1 General warnings and advice

The appliance features 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 5 cooking

zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type 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 burner 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.

To obtain better results and save energy, only use containers suitable for

cooking on electric cookers:

• The base of the containers must be thick and completely flat. Before

placing a container on the hob, check that both hob and container are

completely clean and dry.

• To avoid scratches to the hob, do not use cast iron containers or

containers with an uneven base.

• In order to avoid wasting energy, make sure that the diameter of the

container base is the same as the diameter of the circle marked on

the hob.

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.
