Cooking zone control

Halogen zones and radiant zones are controlled by 12-position Mijotronic knobs to ensure the correct supply of energy according to time: the cooking zones do not heat constantly, but rather in pre-set sequences.

1-2	very low (melted chocolate, melted butter, keeping delicate sauces warm,
	like hollandaise, Béarnaise, etc.),
2-3	low (keeping food warm, scrambled eggs, etc.),
4-5	moderate (simmering, etc.),
5-6	moderate (simmering, etc.),
6-7-8	high (soups, fried eggs, Wiener schnitzel, cooking pasta and rice on reaching
	boiling point, etc.),
9-10	fierce (steak, fish, omelettes, etc),

What cookware to use

•Use pans with a very thick flat bottom so they adhere fully to the heating zone.

•The diameter of the pans must match the diameter of the cooking zone so that all the available heat can be used.

•Avoid at all costs all cookware with irregular rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.

•It is preferable that you cover your cookware with a suitable lid to speed up the rise in temperature.

Maintenance

The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal shocks and to mechanical shocks under normal conditions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we recommend you care for your hob as follows:

•for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels.

•If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thoroughly.

•food residue and dirt can be removed using a special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations. For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy water.

•When the hob is clean, you can apply a special product for the care and protection of the same: this type of product leaves an invisible film on the surface of the hob to protect the same against any spills and boiled-over food. It is best if you do this when the hob is lukewarm or cold.

•Make sure you always rinse the hob with clean water and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning products could become encrusted onto the hob during subsequent cooking.
