4. USE OF THE COOKING HOB

4.1 Cooking zones

The appliance features 5 cooking zones of different diameter and power. Their position is clearly indicated by circles and the heat given off is defined by the markings on the glass surface.

The 5 cooking zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type and come on after a few seconds of being activated. Heating intensity can be adjusted by means of the knobs located on the front panel from a minimum setting of 1 to a maximum setting of 9.

The cooking zones marked by two concentric circles () and by a circle

+fish-kettle () feature double heating either within the inner circle or both circles.

The five signal lamps located between the cooking zones come on when the temperature of one or more of the heating zones exceeds 60°C.

The lamps go off upon temperature dropping to below approximately 60°C.

When using for the first time, it is advisable to heat up the cooking hob to its maximum temperature for enough time so as to burn off any possible oily manufacturing residues, the smell of which could otherwise be absorbed by the food.

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

The bottom of the receptacles must be very

thick and perfectly flat; before placing on the cooking hob, make sure that it, as well as the cooking hob itself, are perfectly clean and dry.

To avoid scratching of the cooking hob, never use cast-iron receptacles or receptacles with a rough bottom.

To avoid waste of energy, make sure that the diameter of the receptacle bottom is the same as that of the circle marked on the cooking hob.
