USING THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB

The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on
the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you
remove these with a special nonabrasive cleaning
product. During the first few hours of use there may be a
smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.
COOKING ZONES
The hob is equipped with electric radiant heating
elements. When they are in use the following items on
the hob become red.

SWITCHING THE COOKING ZONES ON AND OFF

To switch on a cooking zone turn the corresponding knob
in a clockwise direction, to a position between 0 and 6.
To switch it off again, turn the knob in an
anticlockwise direction until it is in the "0" position.
Heating only occurs within the marked circular
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive
foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal
limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several
minutes at full power without a pan on the heating
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating
elements off and on automatically to avoid any
damage to the ceramic glass

PRACTICAL ADVICE ON USING THE HOB

•
Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that
they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.
•
Always use pans with a diameter that is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use
all the heat produced.
•
Always make sure that the base of the pan is
completely clean and dry: this ensures that the
pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and
that both the pans and the hob last for a longer
period of time.
•
Avoid using the same cookware that is used on
gas burners: the heat concentration on gas
burners may have warped the base of the pan,
causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
•
Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a
pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone
to become damaged.
