USING THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB

The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of
grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we
recommend you remove these with a special non-
abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours
of use there may be a smell of rubber which will
disappear very quickly.

Heating only occurs within the marked circular
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive
foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal
limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several
minutes at full power without a pan on the heating
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating
elements off and on automatically to avoid any
damage to the ceramic glass.
The HOT HOB indicator light:
This indicates that the temperature of the
corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C,
even when the heating element has been switched
off but is still hot.

Rear Right Dual Circuit hotplate
This is a dual purpose hotplate with two elements.
The settings on the glass control panel will show 1 -
4 when the control knob is turned clockwise to
indicate that the whole hotplate is turned on and can
be used for a larger pan, 4 is the highest setting.
With the control knob turned anti-clockwise the
settings on the glass control panel will show 1 - 4 to
indicate that only the inner part of the hotplate is
switched on.
This is an energy saving feature and is useful for
cooking with smaller pans or for simmering. The
control will be OFF when the control knob is turned
to the O position.
PRACTICAL ADVICE ON USING THE HOB
• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that they
adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter that is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all
the heat produced.
• Always make sure that the base of the pan is
completely clean and dry: this ensures that the pans
adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and that both
the pans and the hob last for a longer period of time.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas
burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may
have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to
adhere to the surface correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a
pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone to
become damaged.
