4 USE OF THE COOKING HOB

4.1Cooking zones

The appliance features 4/5 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 to a maximum.

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 4/5 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.

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

Important.

Beware of children in the vicinity as the signal lamps indicating residual heat are out of sight to them. In fact, even after having been turned off, the cooking hob remains hot for a certain period of time.

Make sure that children never touch the cooking hob.
