Practical advice on using the glass

The glue that is applied on the gaskets leaves some

traces of grease on the glass. Before using the

appliance, we recommend you eliminate 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.

Traditional cooking zones

Traditional cooking zones are made up of circular heating elements. They turn red approximately ten seconds after they have been turned on.

Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob allowing you to select from 6 different temperature settings from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 6.

Residual heat indicator lights*

The indicator lights (C) indicate that the temperature of the corresponding cooking zones have exceeded 60°C, even after the heating element has been switched off.

Recommended power levels for various types of cooking:

	Setting	Normal or Fast Plate

	0	Off

	1	Cooking vegetables, fish

	2	Cooking potatoes (using steam) soups,

* Only on certain models

To obtain the best results with your hob:

•Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere to the cooking zone perfectly.

•Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.

•Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is always dry and clean to guarantee correct adherence and long life, not only for the cooking zones but also for the cookware itself.

•Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may deform the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.

•Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware on it because as it heats up and rapidly reaches the maximum level, it could damage the heating elements.
