How To Use the Cooking Hob
Fig. 3.4
The ceramic surface of the hob allows
a fast transmission of heat in the verti-
cal direction, from the heating elements
underneath the ceramic glass to the
pans set on it.
The heat does not spread in the hori-
zontal direction, so that the glass stays
“cool” at only a few centimeters from the
cooking plate.
The 5 cooking zones are shown by paint-
ed disks on the ceramic surface.
3 circuit radiant zones
Incorporating 3 heating elements
(fig. 3.4) you can control and light up all
together or separately by a 6 position
switch (fig. 3.3).
Reaches the working temperature in a
very short time.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The heating elements incorporate a
thermolimiter that switches the element
ON/OFF during all the settings to pro-
tect the ceramic glass from overheating.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong
pan positioning will cause the tempera-
ture limiter to operate more frequently,
resulting in a reduction of cooking per-
formance.
Fig. 3.3

16
Double and oval radiant
zones
The heating element is formed of a coil
of resistant material which reaches the
working temperature quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is con-
trolled by a continuous energy regulator
from 1 to 12 (maximum temperature)
(fig. 3.5).
To turn on both zones of the double
element, turn the double element knob
fully clockwise to the position .
To reduce the heat of the full double
element, turn its knob anticlockwise to
setting 12 or lower. Adjust the heat during
cooking as necessary.
Note: if you leave the knob at the
position, the full double element will
remain at the highest heat setting.
To returntousingonlytheinnerzone
ofthedoubleelement, rst turn the knob
to the o(off) position (you should feel a
click) and then clockwise to a setting from
1 to 12.

Residual heat indicator
The hob also features 5 warning lights
which are connected to the correspond-
ing plates.
When the temperature of a cooking plate
is above 60 °C, the relevant warning light
will also light up to warn of heat on the
surface of the hob.
This light also stay on after the cooking
plate has been switched off to show that
the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat will lasts for a long
time after the cooking plate has been
switched off.
During this time you should avoid
touching the hob  surface over the
cooking area.
Please pay special attention to ensure
that children are not allowed near
the hob.
The light will switch off automatically as
soon as the surface temperature of the
cooking plate falls below 60°C.
Caution!
The cooker becomes very hot
duringoperation.
Keep children well out of reach.
Fig. 3.9
DO NOT USE GLASSWARE ON CERAMIC HOBS.
DO NOT USE PANS WITH ROUGH CIRCULAR
MACHINED BASE.
Cooking hints:
– To reduce the cooking time, you can
turn the control knob to the max when
you switch the plate on.
After a short time you can set the con-
trol knob to the position required for
cooking.
– You should only use pots and pans with
flat bases (pans with the test mark for
glass-ceramic hobs are available from
specialist shops).
The diameter of the pan should match
that of the cooking plate (or be slightly
bigger) to make the most of the energy.
– Since the cooking surface will stays hot
for a certain time after the plate has
been switched off, you can switch it off
5 or 10 minutes before the end of the
cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will com-
plete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids when-
ever possible.
– Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic hob, but in special pans
or containers.
– Do not scratch the cooktop with cut-
ting or sharp objects.
 Donotusetheglassceramicsurface
as a work surface.
DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat fry-
ing, do not fill the pan more than one
third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO
NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave
the pan where it is and turn off the con-
trol knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan
to smother the flames. Leave the pan to
cool for at least 30minutes before mov-
ing the pan.
DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.

19
Fig. 3.10
Safety hints:
– Before you switch the hob on, make
sure you know which knob controls the
required cooking plate. We advise you
to set the pan over the cooking plate
before switching it on. Remove the pan
after you have switched the cooking
plate off.
– Do not use pots and pans with rough
bases (pay attention to cookware made
of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage
(scratch) the glass surface of the hob.
Make sure that the pan bottom of the
pan is dry and clean.
– Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave
silver streaks or spots on the hob.
– Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
hob.
– The glass-ceramic surface and pans
must be clean. Carefully remove any
food debris (especially containing
sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a cleans-
ing agent.
– Pan handles should never stand out
beyond the kitchen worktop, as there
is a great danger of knocking the pan
over.
This will also ensure that children
cannot reach them.
– Donotusethehobiftheglasssur-
faceisbrokenorcrackedinanyway.
Please disconnect the hob from the
mains and contact the after-sales
service.
– Do not lean over the cooking plate when
in use.
– Do not lay cooking foil or plastic mate-
rials on the ceramic surface when it is
hot.
– Remember that the surface remains hot
for a long time (about 30 min.) after the
cooking plate has been switched off.
– Follow the cleaning instructions care-
fully.
Do not use the glass surface for
storage.
Cleaning the hob
Before you begin cleaning make sure
that the appliance is switched off.
Remove spillages and other types of
incrustations.
Dust or food particles can be removed
with a damp cloth.
If you use a detergent, please make
sure that it is not abrasive or scouring.
Abrasive or scouring powders can dam-
age the glass surface of the hob.
All traces of the cleaner must be removed
with a damp cloth.
Do not put articles on the hob which can
melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,
sugar syrup mixtures etc.
If any of these products items have melt-
ed on the ceramic surface, you should
remove it immediately (when the surface
is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid
any permanent damage to the surface
of the hob.
Avoid using a knife or other sharp
utensils since these can damage the
ceramic.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive
sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.
