Instructions for the User

12. USING THE HOB

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.

12.1 Cooking zones

The device has 4 cooking zones of various powers and diameters. Their position is clearly indicated with circles and the heat is limited to within the diameters traced on the glass. The 4 cooking zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type, they turn on after a few seconds and the heating is adjustable using the knob positioned on the front panel.

12.2 Residual heat indicator lights

The four indicator lights positioned in front between the cooking zones turn on when one or more heating zones surpasses 60°C. This device lets you see even after using the hob if one or more hotplates are still hot. The indicator lights go out when the temperature becomes lower than approximately 60°C.

Be careful of children, as the warning lights indicating residual heat on the hob are difficult for them to see. In fact, even after having been turned off, the cooking zone remains hot for a certain period of time.

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE STOVE.

12.3 Recommendations for using the cooking hob

For best results and energy saving, only use pans suitable for electric cooking:

• The bottoms of pans must be very thick and perfectly flat. In addition, the pans as well as the cooking hob, must be clean and dry.

Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough bottom, as they may

scratch the cooking surface.

• The diameter of the bottom of the pans must be equal to the diameter of the circle outlining the cooking zone. If not there will be a waste of energy.

Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the hob when hot. Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium foil) on the hob. If this occurs, promptly switch off and remove the molten material with the scraper provided while the cooking zone is still warm to prevent it from being damaged. Failure to instantly clean the ceramic hob could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down.
