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.
Switching the cooking zones on and off
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the corresponding
knob in a clockwise direction.
To switch it off again, turn the knob in an
anticlockwise direction until it is in the "0" position.
If the ELECTRIC HOTPLATE ON indicator light is lit,
this shows that at least one hotplate on the hob is
switched on.
Cooking zones
The hob is equipped with electric radiant heating
elements. When they are in use the following items
on the hob become red.
A. The cooking zone.
B. The residual heat indicator

light: this indicates that the
temperature of the

when the heating element has
been switched off but is still hot.
Cooking zones with radiant heating elements
They have similar properties to gas burners: they are
easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly,
allowing you to actually see the power they are
providing.
Turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise
direction, to a position between 1 and 6.

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.
