6.4.1Switching on the electric hobs

The cookers are equipped with hobs of different diameters. These are controlled by a switch and are turned on by turning the knob to the desired position. On the front panel above each knob a small drawing shows which hob corresponds to each knob. A yellow warning light lights up when the hob is switched on.

6.4.2How to use the electric hobs

WARNING

When switching on the hob for the first time, or if the hob has not been used for a long time, to remove any humidity from the insulating material it should be dried out by placing the hob on position 1 for 30 minutes.

To use correctly remember to:

•Switch the hob only after having placed the pan on it.

•Use flat and thick bottomed pans.

•Never use pans which are smaller than the hob.

•Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the hob.

•After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the electric hob must be treated with specific cleaning products which are available on the market. This necessary operation prevents oxidisation (rust formation).

•When cooking with flammable oils and fats, never leave the appliance.

•The hobs will stay hot for a long time after use: do not touch them or place any objects on them.

•Before switching on the electric hobs, lift up the glass cover on the cooker; before closing it, switch off the hobs and wait for them to cool down.

•If any dents appear in the hob surface, switch it off immediately and contact the nearest authorised servicing centre.

Renowned for their Italian craftsmanship, these models stand out not just for their looks but also for their impressive performance and features tailored for both novice and experienced chefs alike.

One of the standout features of the Smeg APC61BVG and APC61XVG is their multifunction oven.

This versatility is further enhanced by the inclusion of a large capacity oven, allowing for the preparation of multiple dishes simultaneously, making it perfect for family gatherings and entertaining.

The ovens are designed with high-efficiency insulation, ensuring optimal heat retention while minimizing energy consumption. This commitment to energy efficiency not only reduces running costs but also enhances cooking performance by promoting even heat distribution.

Another notable feature of these cookers is the gas hob with durable cast-iron supports. The hob includes powerful burners that provide precise temperature control, making it ideal for a range of cooking techniques, from simmering sauces to boiling pasta. The configuration of the burners allows for flexibility and accommodating different pot sizes.

Safety is also a priority for Smeg, with features such as the flame failure device, which automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out. This ensures peace of mind during cooking sessions, especially in busy kitchens.

In summary, the Smeg APC61BVG and APC61XVG are more than just stylish additions to any kitchen; they embody a blend of advanced technology, user-friendly features, and safety measures.
