7 USING THE HOB

Before turning on the burners, make sure that the burner rings, caps and grids have been fitted correctly.

In the wok burner, notch A must be aligned with pin B.

Grid C provided is intended for use with woks (Chinese pans).

Adapter D comes only with open grids models and is intended for use with small sized vessels.

7.1Ignition of the burners

The device is fit with electronic ignition. Simply press and simultaneously turn the knob counter-clockwise on the high flame symbol, until the burner is ignited. In models with safety valve, the knob has to be turned to the ignition symbol before it is pressed, and after ignition the knob has to be kept pressed for about 2 seconds to keep the flame lit and to activate the safety device

The burner might go off when the knob is released. In this case repeat the aforesaid operation keeping the knob pressed for more than 2 seconds.

Should the burners go off accidentally in the models with valves, a safety device will trip after approximately 20 seconds to block the gas outlet even if the cock is open.

7.2Practical advice for using the burners

For better burner performance and minimum gas

consumption, flat bottomed, even recipients must be used, with covers and proportional in size to the burners (see paragraph “7.3 Diameter of containers”).

To avoid overcooking or damage to the surface top while cooking, all recipients or griddles must be positioned within the cooking hob perimeter and must be a minimum distance of 3-4 cm from the knobs.

With its sleek stainless-steel finish and smooth glass surface, the CIR34XS not only elevates the kitchen’s look but also offers exceptional functionality.

One of the standout features of the CIR34XS is its induction cooking technology. This method utilizes electromagnetic energy to directly heat cookware, delivering rapid and precise cooking results while ensuring the surface remains cool to the touch.

The cooktop features four highly responsive induction zones, each equipped with a booster function that allows for quick heating. This is particularly useful for bringing water to a boil or for sautéing ingredients with remarkable speed. The zones come in various sizes, accommodating different cookware dimensions and ensuring an optimal cooking experience.

Safety is a priority with the Smeg CIR34XS. The cooktop is equipped with several safety features including residual heat indicators, which alert users when the surface is still warm. Additionally, a child lock function provides peace of mind for families, preventing accidental activation by young children. The automatic shut-off feature also ensures that the cooktop will turn off after a designated period of inactivity, reducing the risk of overheating.

User convenience is further enhanced by the touch controls, which allow for easy temperature adjustments and settings. The layout is designed for intuitive use, making it simple even for novice cooks to operate. The sleek design also means that cleaning is effortless; the smooth, flat surface can be wiped down quickly, preventing food residue from becoming baked onto the cooktop.

Overall, the Smeg CIR34XS is a blend of style, efficiency, and practicality, making it a wise investment for modern kitchens. With its advanced induction technology, user-friendly interface, and safety features, it stands out as a top choice for anyone looking to elevate their cooking experience.
