7.4 Electric elements
7.4.1 Turning on electric elements
Hobs may be fitted with an electric element of varying diameter. The electric element is controlled by a switch and is turned on by rotating the appropriate knob to the desired position.
Raised indicators make for easier and clearer reading and use of the controls, each knob being connected to its corresponding electric element by a rib. Setting corresponds to the elongated part of the knob or to the marking on it. When the electric element is powered, an appropriate indicator light comes on in the front panel.
7.4.2 Using the electric elements
The electric elements are ideal for ultrarapid cooking.
The settings shown in the table are merely indicative.
