3 - USE OF THE HOB BURNERS
Fig. 3.2
The ceramic surface of the hob allows
a fast transmission of heat in the vertical
direction, from the heating elements
underneath the ceramic glass to the pans
set on it.
The heat does not spread in the horizontal
direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at
only a few centimeters from the cooking
plate.
The 4 cooking zones are shown by painted
disks on the ceramic surface.
3 circuit radiant zones
Incorporating3heatingelements(g.3.2)
you can control and light up all together or
separatelybya6positionswitch(g.3.1).
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 protect
the ceramic glass from overheating.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong
pan positioning will cause the temperature
limiter to operate more frequently, resulting
in a reduction of cooking performance.

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 controlled
by a continuous energy regulator from 1
to 12 (maximum temperature) (fig. 3.3).
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 0(off) position (you should feel a click)
and then clockwise to a setting from 1to
12.
