VITROCERAMIC HOB Figure 13 COOKING ZONES “Hi-Light” single zone, Ø 145 mm 1200 W “Hi-Light” single zone, Ø 180 mm 1800 W “Hi-Light” single zone, Ø 145 mm 1200 W “Hi-Light” double zone, Ø 210/120 mm 2200/750 W Attention: Detach the appliance from the mains if the ceramic glass is cracked and contact the After- Sales Service.
HOW TO USE THE 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.
Page 19
“HI-LIGHT” DOUBLE ZONE (Fig. 17) ■ The heating element is formed of 2 coils of resistant material which reaches the wor- king temperature quickly. ■ This zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator switch (fig. 16). The heat intensity can be regulated continuously from “0” to “12” (max). ■...
SAFETY HINTS Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface when the hob is hot. Make sure that the hob is clean before you use it. Always ensure that the base of your saucepan is clean and dry before placing on the hob.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR Figure 20 The hob also features a warning lamp (on the control panel, fig. 20) which is wired to the plates. When the temperature of a cooking plate is over 60°C, the warning lamp is also lit-up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.

COOKING WITH MULTIFUNCTION OVEN OPERATING PRINCIPLES Attention: The oven door becomes Heating and cooking in the MULTIFUN- very hot during operation. CTION oven are obtained in the following Keep children away. ways: a. by normal convection The heat is produced by the upper and GENERAL FEATURES lower heating elements.
Figure 22 THERMOSTAT KNOB To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set function selector knob to the required po- sition and the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. To set the temperature, turn the thermostat control knob indicator mark to the required temperature.
GRILLING The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation. Use with the oven door closed and the thermostat knob must be regulated between 50°C and 200°C maximum. For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”. Always grill with the oven door closed.
MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE AFTER COOKING OR SLOWLY HEATING FOODS The upper element and the circular element connected in series, are switched on; also the fan is on. The heat is diffused by forced convection with the most heat being produced by the upper ele- ment.
SIMULTANEOUS COOKING OF DIFFERENT FOODS The MULTIFUNCTION oven set on position gives simultaneous heterogeneous cooking of different foods. Different foods such as fish, cake and meat can be cooked toge- ther without mixing the smells and flavours. This is possible since the fats and vapors are oxidized while passing through the electrical element and therefore are not deposited onto the foods.
