6.4.1Switching on the electric hobs

The cookers are equipped with hobs of different diameters. These are controlled by a switch and are turned on by turning the knob to the desired position. On the front panel above each knob a small drawing shows which hob corresponds to each knob. A yellow warning light lights up when the hob is switched on.

WARNING

When switching on the hob for the first time, or if the hob has not been used for a long time, to remove any humidity from the insulating material it should be dried out by placing the hob on position 1 for 30 minutes.

To use correctly remember to:

•Switch the hob only after having placed the pan on it.

•Use flat and thick bottomed pans.

•Never use pans which are smaller than the hob.

•Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the hob.

•After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the electric hob must be treated with specific cleaning products which are available on the market. This necessary operation prevents oxidisation (rust formation).

•When cooking with flammable oils and fats, never leave the appliance.

•The hobs will stay hot for a long time after use: do not touch them or place any objects on them.

•Before switching on the electric hobs, lift up the glass cover on the cooker; before closing it, switch off the hobs and wait for them to cool down.

•If any dents appear in the hob surface, switch it off immediately and contact the nearest authorised servicing centre.
