This fan may continue to run for several minutes after the appliance has been switched off. This fan is to reduce the external temperature of the appliance and cool the internal components.
Page 8 how to use the vitroceramic hob 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 5 cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface. 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. Fig. 2.1 SINGLE COOKING ZONES FRONT RIGHT AND REAR LEFT ZONE Incorporating the heating element (fig. 2.2a or 2.2b) you can control and light up by selecting from the 12 positions on the control knob (fig. 2.1).
Page 9 COOKING ZONES POWER INDICATOR LIGHT (fig. 2.6) When the ceramic hob is working, the “ON” pilot light in the control panel will be on (fig. 2.6a). COOKING ZONES RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS IMPORTANT When the temperature of a cooking zone is above 140 °F (60 °C), the relevant “HOT SURFACE” warning light in the vitroceramic hob (fig. 2.6b) will come on to indicate that the zone is hot. This light will stay on even after the cooking zone has been switched off to indicate that the zone is still hot. Fig. 2.6a The residual heat persists for some time after the cooking zone has been switched off. During this time avoid touching the hob and take particular care if there are children nearby. The light will go out automatically when the cooking zone temperature drops below 140 °F (60 °C). HINTS FOR SAFE USE OF THE VITROCERAMIC HOB • Before switching on, check which knob controls the required cooking zone. You are advised to place the saucepan on the hob before switching on and to take it off after switching off.
