1) ELECTRIC HOB
(for ceran glass products)
The hot plates are equipped with 2
hi-light heating elements with different
powers and diametres. On the frontal
panel, close to each knob, has been silk-
screened a scheme where is indicated to
which cooking zone the knob refers (g. 2).
In some particular models the scheme
annexes a light indicator that turns on
when the cooking zome temperature is
above 60 C.
The indicator will turn off only when
the temperature of the cooking zone will
be below the value: thes is the reason why
we call it residual heat indicator. Some
other models they have only one indicator.
Connection of electric heating
elements
Heating elements are controlled by
energy regulators that permit to obtain a
big range of different temperatures.
To connect the heating elements
es necessary to turn clockwise or
anticlockwise the relaive knob. Indicator
light 9 shows the connection of one or
more heating elements.
To connect the heating elements with
double cooking zone is necessary to turn
clockwise the knob to the «Ф1 sign and
release again.
How to use the cooking zones
Heating takes place only in the inside
part of the circles drawn on the special
glass. The circles have to be wholly
covered by the pots.
WARNINGS:
For a correct use, please look at g.3
and remind:
BSwitch on the electricity
only after having placed the pot on the
cooking zone.
BUse pots and pans with at
solid bottoms.
BUse pots with the same
diameter of the cooking zones.
BDry the bottom of the pot
before put in on the cooking zones.
BDo not scrape the pot against
the glass so to not damage it.
BDuring the use of the cooking
zones, please, keep the children away
from the hot plates. Make sure that the
handles of the pots are placed in the
right way towards the interior. Be aware
that overheated fats and oils may become
inamed.

a normal or rapid electric plates. There
are controlled by switches with various
positions (see  g. 4 ) and is switched on by
turning the knob to the required setting.
A diagram is screen-printed above each
knob on the front panel. This diagram
indicates to which electric plates the knob
in question corresponds (see  g. 4). A red
warning light will come on to indicate that
the plate is operating.
A purely indicative regulation table for
the normal electric plates is given below.
TABLE
WARNINGS;
When the plate is switched on for
the  rst time, or if it has remained
unused for a long period, it should be
dried for 30 minutes on switch position
n° 1. This will eliminate any moisture
that may have been absorbed by the
insulating material.
To correctly use the appliance,
remember
To place a pan on the plate before
switching this on.
To always use pans with  at and
very thick bottoms (see  g. 5).
To never use pans that are smaller
than the plate diameters.
To dry the bottom of the pan before
placing it on the plate.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when the plates are being
used. Make sure that there are no
children in the near vicinity. Particularly
make sure that the pan handles are
correctly positioned and keep a check
on foods requiring oil and grease to
cook since these products can easily

Periodically wash the hot plate,
the enamelled stell pan support, the
enamelled burner caps “C» and the
burner heads “M” (see  g. 6) with
lukewarm soapy water. Following this,
all parts should be thoroughly rinsed
and dried. Never wash them while they
are still warm and never use abrasive
powders. Do not allow vinegar, coffee,
milk, salted water, lemon or tomato
juice from remaining in contact with
the enamelled surfaces for long periods
of time.
WARNINGS:

2) ELECTRIC HOB
lf you want to preserve the surface
clean and bright, we recommend you
to use a silicone conditioner. The use of
this conditioners, prior to jam-making,
helps to protect the surface of the hob.
It is very important to clean the
surface soon after every use, when the
glass is stili tepid.
Do not use metallic sponges,powder
abrasives or corrosive sprays.
Depending on the dirty level we
recommend:
ÂSlights stains: it is enought the
use of a moist clean rag.
ÂBurnt or soiling may be removed
with a special razor scraper ( g. 7 ); be
aware that the razor can cause wounds.
ÂMarks of liquid, over owed from
the pot, can be removed using vinegar
or lemon.
ÂPay attention to not /et fail sugar
or element with sugar. in this case turn
the swithch off and clean the surface
with hot water and the razor b/ade
scraper.
ÂAfter a period of time may appear
metal re ex and scratches ( g. 8) due to
the wrong cleaning and the wrong use
of the pots. The scratches are dif cultly
removable, but they do not compromise
!he good working of the hob.
