How To Use Your Hob

Guide to using the hotplates:

The heating elements are circular in shape and turn red in colour 20-30 seconds after they have been turned on.

Mixed halogen zones.

The hob utilises heating elements which are made up of two halogen lamps and a circular heating element. This combination provides ideal heat distribution across the entire surface of the cooking area. Halogen lamps provide an instantaneous emission of a large quantity of light and heat, which means they are:

•a rapid source of heat similar to that provided by gas burners;

•an equally rapid elimination of the heat source. Halogen lamps are extremely easy to use and their operation is similar to that of other heating elements.

The control knobs

Each cooking area is equipped with a control knob to regulate the temperature at any time from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12. The table gives information on the settings indicated on the knobs and the corresponding, recommended uses.

The “ON” indicator light (B)

This light comes on when one of the heating elements has been turned on.

Residual heat indicator light (D)

This light indicates that the temperature of one or more cooking areas is above 60°C, even thought the elements have been turned off. Some models come equipped with four such indicator lights, one for each of the four cooking areas.
