HOW TO USE THE VITROCERAMIC HOB
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 a horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only a few centimeters from the cooking plate.
The cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface. Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.
Important note:
The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches the element ON/OFF du- ring all 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.
The temperature limiter can be seen under the glass dissecting the element. This is not a fault with the appliance.

The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the working temperature quickly.
These zones are controlled by a continuous energy regulator switch (fig. 22). The heat intensity can be regulated continuously from “0” to “12” (max).
Check that the hob is clean and then switch on by turning the control knob. When the hob is working, the power on indicator light will be on.
