Operation of the top with the electric plates
The electric tops can either be of the standard type, or of the rapid type. These last
feature a red mark at their centre. According to your needs, the tops can be adjusted
by turning the knobs either clockwise or anti‐clockwise on 6 position besides the 0
position (off).
The positions marked by the higher numerical index match the maximum output of
heat (see table). When using rapid tops, a thermostat automatically reduces the
power when the selected temperature is reached, and the top operates
intermittently to reach a constant cooking temperature.
The pilot light set in the control area signals that the electric plates are switched on.

Advice on the use of cooking tops
To Spare energy and to have a longer life of the electric tops, we advise using pans
with flat bottom and with a diameter not lesser than the diameter of the tops.
Care must be taken that fluids do not spill on the electric plates.
Never leave the tops on without pans on them or with empty pans, and never use
the tops to heat the place. Only switch a hotplate on once a pan has been placed upon it.
Once switches off, the plates remain warm for a while.
Switch off the heating element before removing the pans
Utensils
Use pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste energy and are
slow to cook
Use pans slightly larger than the hotplates. Smaller pans will waste energy.
Do not use oversized pans. More than 50mm overhang can overheat cooktop
components and can cause fine cracks in the enamel hob which will trap dirt.
Use only dry utensils. Do not place wet or steamy parts (eg. lids) on the
hotplates.
