Start-up and use

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.

A few seconds after the hob is connected to the electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may now be switched on.

If the - or + button is pressed for an extended

period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power levels and timer minutes.

Switching on the hob

To switch the hob on, press and hold the button for approximately one second.

Switching on the cooking zones

Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector

button and a power adjustment device

consisting of power level selector buttons between the values of 0 and 9.

•To begin operating a cooking zone, press the corresponding control button and set the desired power level using the power level selector buttons between 0 and 9.

described in the previous paragraph. Press and hold the selector button corresponding to the desired

cooking zone for at least 2 seconds. The

Heating elements

Two types of heating element may be installed, depending on the appliance model: halogen and radiant elements.

Halogen elements emit heat via radiation from the halogen lamps they contain.

They have similar properties to gas burners: they are easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly, allowing you to see the power level instantly. Radiant elements consist of a series of coils which allow heat to be distributed evenly at the base of the cookware, so that all slow-flame cooking may be performed successfully, for example stews, sauces or reheated dishes.
