HOW TO USE THE COOKER TOP

The griddle reaches the working temperature very quickly and can grill any food, without fat and oil, directly on the radiant zone's glass-ceramic surface.

Operation of the radiant zone is controlled by a continuous 12-position power regulator.

The signal lamp lights up when the griddle is ON.

Figure 2

USING THE GRIDDLE FOR THE FIRST TIME

√ Remove the adhesive film which protects some parts.
√ Remove any residual glue carefully, without using abrasive substances, to avoid scratching the surfaces.
√ Clean the cooking surface carefully.
√ Switch the griddle on by turning the power setting knob to the maximum position (11-12) for about 15 minutes to remove residual working greases.

USE OF THE GRIDDLE

√ Before cooking make sure that the radiant zone is clean.
√ Switch the griddle on by turning the knob to position 12.
√ Preheat until the cooking surface becomes red.
√ Then turn the knob to the position required. The numbers from 1 to 12 indicate the working positions with temperature increasing as the number increases.
√ Place the food on the radiant zone and check the cooking by eye.
√ Turn off the griddle by turning the knob to position "0".
√ As the radiant zone remains hot for some time after the hob is switched off, turn the zone off a few minutes before the end of cooking.

The residual heat will complete the cooking.

√ Do not use the griddle for more than 30 minutes.

Caution!

The griddle becomes very hot during use and remains very hot even after it is switched off. Keep children well out of reach.

ADVICE FOR THE SAFE USE OF CERAMIC GRIDDLE

√ Do not lean on the cooking zones when they are switched on.
√ Do not put aluminium foil or plastic objects on the cooking zones when they are hot.
√ Do not leave objects of any type on the surfaces made of ceramic, glass or similar fragile material.
√ Remember that the cooking zone remain hot for some time after it is switched off (about 30 min.).
√ Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
√ If you note a crack in the cooktop, switch the appliance off immediately and call the After-Sales Service.

TIPS FOR GRILLING:

√ Preheat the radiant zone sufficiently to obtain quick and uniform cooking.
√ Do not pour water on the cooking surface when it is switched on or still hot.
√ If cooking very fatty foods, leave the griddle switched on for a few minutes after cooking is finished, to burn off the fatty residues.

Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects.

Do not use the cooktop as a work surface.

GENERAL TIPS

√ Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the hob is switched off.
√ It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold, especially when cleaning the enamelled parts.
√ Avoid leaving alcaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.
√ Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.
√ Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance and make it unsafe.

ENAMELLED PARTS

√ All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other non-abrasive products.
√ Dry preferably with a chamois leather.

If acid substances such as lemon juice, tomato conserve, vinegar etc. are left on the enamel for a long time they will etch it, making it opaque.

STAINLESS STEEL PARTS

√ Clean with special products which are available on the market.
√ Dry preferably with chamois leather.

CONTROL KNOB

√ The control knob may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken not to damage the seal.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC GRIDDLE

Make sure that the cooktop is switched off before cleaning it.

√ Remove any encrustation.
√ Remove dust with a damp cloth.
√ Detergents can be used, but they must not be abrasive or corrosive.
√ Any remaining detergent must be completely removed with a damp cloth.
√ Do not put any objects on the cooktop which can melt with heat, such as plastic objects, aluminium foil, sugar or sugar products.
√ If any object melts on the cooktop, remove it immediately (while the cooktop is still hot) using a speaal scraper, to prevent any irreversible damage to the glass ceramic surface.
√ Do not use knives or sharp objects which could damage the cooktop surface.
√ Do not use abrasive sponges or pads which could irreversibly damage the glass ceramic surface.

CAUTION: Any abrasive substances and non-neutral detergents are absolutely not to be used as these can cause permanent damage to these elements.
