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 non-

abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours

of use there may be a smell of rubber which will

disappear very quickly.

Switching the cooking zones on and off

To switch on a cooking zone, turn the corresponding

knob in a clockwise direction.

To switch it off again, turn the knob in an

anticlockwise direction until it is in the “0” position.

If the ELECTRIC HOTPLATE ON indicator light is lit,

this shows that at least one hotplate on the hob is

switched on.

Cooking zones

The hob is equipped with electric radiant heating

elements. When they are in use the following items

on the hob become red.

A. The cooking zone with

radiant heating elements.

B. The residual heat indicator

light: this indicates that the

temperature of the

corresponding cooking zone

is greater than 60°C, even

when the heating element has been switched off but

is still hot.

Cooking zones with radiant heating elements

These emit heat via radiation from the radiant lamps

they contain. They have similar properties to gas

burners: they are easy to control and reach set

temperatures quickly, allowing you to actually see

the power they are providing.

Turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise

direction, to a position between 1 and 6

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.
