Changing the power level in the automatic preheating phase (Fig 16)
1.
The burner involved must be on. The decimal point (7) for the corresponding burner must also be on.
2.
Change the level by means of the "+"keys.
If the setting is raised, the new preheating time is recalculated taking the time that has already elapsed for
the previous setting into account.
Disabling the automatic preheating function
1.The burner concerned must be on. The decimal point (7) for the corresponding burner must also be on.
2. Touch the "-" key (5)
8.Timer (Fig 14)
The control device can also have an incorporated timer, which can be assigned to one of the four areas.
1. Touch the "Plus" (10) and "minus" (11) keys of the timer. The timer display(12) will show "00", the
other displays "t".
2. After setting the timer, a burner must be selected within 10 seconds. Select a cooing zone with the
"Plus" key (5).
The pilot light (13) relating to the burner concerned comes on.
3. Select the required time from 1 to 99 minutes with the keys "+" e "-" (10/11).
If the timer is selected by the "minus" key (11), the starting time would be "99" (maximum value).
4. Select the required power setting (from 1 to 9) with the keys "+" e "-" (5/4).
The timer will be assigned to that area: Once countdown is complete the area will switch off
automatically.
Once countdown is complete an acoustic signal will sound for 30".
If you touch the "+" and "-" keys (10-11) of the timer simultaneously,it goes off immediately.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
A few cooking tips
Use only saucepans and frying pans with a sturdy, preferably thick bottom. This is particularly important
when preparing food requiring high cooking temperatures, such as fried foods. If the bottom of the pan is not
perfectly flat, the food takes longer to cook and uses up more energy. The best heat transfer is obtained
when the saucepan and burner are the same size.
You can also use Pyrex and porcelain pans on the burners, providing the bottom of the pan is smooth. Refer
to the instructions of the pan manufacturer on this point.
Any spillages from the pans should be wiped away immediately.
Important notes
Warning: the burner surface becomes red hot when in use, so it is always advisable to keep children well
away from the cook top.
Avoid dropping any hard object on the cook top surface. In some conditions, the material is sensitive to
mechanical loading. The shock of a sharp or pointed object can damage the cooking surface. In the event of
any breakage, cracking or other damage being accidentally caused to the ceramic top, it is essential to stop
using the cook top immediately and contact customer care.
Ceramic glass cook tops must never be used as a work surface or to prepare food wrapped in aluminium foil
or packaged in plastic. Never use the burner without a saucepan on it. Never place flammable, explosive or
deformable objects in the vicinity of the cook top.
Fats and oils can catch fire if they are overheated: that is why foods requiring the use of fat or oil, e.g. French
fries, must always be supervised while they are cooking.
Moreover, it is essential to make sure that the power cords and plugs of any other domestic appliances
attached to sockets near the cook top can never come into contact with the hot cook top surfaces.
No part of the power supply cable must reach an ambient temperature which is over 50°c.
If damaged, the cable must be replaced with one supplied by the technical assistance service.
If the glass surface breaks, unplug the device from the mains supply in order to avoid getting an electric
shock.
The cook top must never be cleaned with steam or other such cleaning devices.
It is essential to clean the cook top - once it has cooled down - every time it has been used. Even the
smallest food scraps would burn the next time it is used. Use only the recommended detergents. Wire wool,
abrasive pads and powders will cause scratching. Oven-cleaning products are unsuitable because they are
corrosive.
Mild soiling can be removed with the aid of a damp cloth or with hot soda. Any traces of detergent must be
removed with cold water and the surfaces must then be accurately dried. Any signs of water that cannot be
removed with boiling water can be eliminated with vinegar and lemon juice, or with a scale-remover fluid. If
any of these detergents comes into contact with the cook top frame, it must be cleaned off immediately with
a wet cloth, to avoid damaging the seal.
