How To Use The Vitroceramic Hob - DeLonghi DEFL605E Installation And Servicing Instrucnions

HOW TO USE THE VITROCERAMIC HOB

The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direction,
from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set on it.
The heat does not spread in a horizontal direction, so that the glass stays "cool" at only a
few centimeters from the cooking plate.
The cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface.
Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.
Important note:
The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches the element ON/OFF
during all settings to protect the ceramic glass from overheating.
The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature limiter
to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.
The temperature limiter can be seen under the glass dissecting the element. This is not a
fault with the appliance.
"HI-LIGHT" RADIANT ZONES
The heating element (fig. 19) is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the
working temperature quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator from 1 to 12
(maximum temperature) (fig. 18).
Caution!
Do not cover the hob with aluminium foils.
