USE OF THE DUAL ZONE GLASS CERAMIC HOTPLATE
This hob is fitted with an electric hotplate which has two cooking zones that can be switched on separately, and a glass
ceramic top. This combination delivers rapid and uniform transmission of heat, optimising cooking results and saving time.
To switch on the single zone , turn the knob anti-clockwise from 0. Power can be set from a minimum of 1 to a
maximum setting of 12.
To switch on the dual zone, turn the knob further, past number 12, to the symbol
power which, in this case, will be in decreasing order, starting from a maximum setting of (12) to a minimum of (1).
To revert to cooking with the single cooking zone after the dual zone has been switched on, first switch the hotplate off by
turning the knob to 0.
Next, repeat the operation described above.
Note: the electric hotplate is equipped with a residual heat indicator which switches on whenever the cooking zone reaches a
dangerously hot temperature. This LED inidcator remains lit even after the hotplate is switched off, only switching off once the
temperature of the glass no longer poses a threat.
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR USING THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATE
-
Use flat-bottomed pots and pans whose diameter is equal to, or slightly larger than, that of the cooking zones marked on
the glass.
-
Use the correct amount of water for cooking foods and keep the pot covered.
Use the table below as a guide in order to select the most suitable heat setting, positioning the knob between 1 and 12.

HOW TO USE THE HOB
Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.
WARNING
IMPORTANT: WHEN THE HOB IS IN USE, THE ENTIRE HOB AREA MAY BECOME HOT.
To ignite one of the burners, turn the relative knob anti-clockwise to the maximum flame setting.
Press the knob against the control panel to ignite the burner.
After the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed for about 5-10 seconds to allow proper device operation.
This burner safety device shuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame goes out accidentally (because of sudden
draught, an interruption in the gas delivery, boiling over of liquids, etc.).
The knob must not be pressed for more than 15 sec. If, after that time has elapsed, the burner does not remain lit,
wait at least one minute before trying to light it again.
NOTE: should particular local conditions of the delivered gas make the ignition of burner difficult, it is advisable to repeat
the operation with the knob turned to small flame setting.
The burner might go out when the knob is released. This means that the safety device has not warmed up enough. In this
case, repeat the operations described above.
DIMENSIONS AND DISTANCES TO BE MANTAINED (mm)
NOTE: if the distance "A" between the wall cabinets is between 600 mm
and 730 mm, the height "B" must be a minimum of 530 mm.
If the distance "A" between the wall cabinets is greater than the width
of the cooktop, the height "B" must be a minimum of 400 mm.
In case of installation of a hood above the cooktop, please refer to the
hood instructions for the correct distance
