Using the appliance
Hob controls
Heating element
The heating element is controlled by a 6-position button.
The heating element is controlled by the corresponding controller, which must be set to the required setting. Beside each controller is a symbol that indicates which element is controlled by the controller. The on/off indicator light on the control panel indicates whether one of the heating elements is in use.
| Button position | Function |
| 0 | Off position |
| 1 | Keep warm position |
| 2-3 | Low heat position |
| 4-5-6 | Cook, sear and boil position |
IMPORTANT
The direction of rotation of the button varies depending on the product's characteristics.
Double and oval cooking zone (if available)
The double and oval cooking zone is composed of two cooking zones. To activate the outer part of a double/oval element, turn the button to the position. The two exterior zones light up. To deactivate the outer part of a double/oval element, turn the button to the Off position. The two exterior zones switch off.
Residual heat indicator (if available)
After using the hob, some of the heat will remain stored up in the ceramic surface. This is the residual heat. If the residual heat level is above +60^ , the residual heat indicator of the cooking zone concerned will light up.
If the power supply to the hob is cut off while the residual heat indicator light is on, the warning light will flash when the power is restored. The display flashes until the residual heat has dropped or one of the cooking zones is activated.
Tips and advice
IMPORTANT
When the heating elements are set to the highest levels, the hot zones may switch on and off. This is because of a safety system that prevents the glass from overheating. This is normal at high temperatures, will not damage the hob and only extend cooking times very slightly.
WARNING
- Never use the hob without any cookware on the cooking zone.
- Only use flat-bottomed pans with a thick base.
- Check that the bottom of the cookware is completely dry before placing them on the hob.
- When the cooking zone is on, it is important to check that the cookware is centred on the zone.
- To save energy, do not use cookware with a different diameter from that of the cooking zone used.
Pan with rounded bottom
Pan is too small
Pan is incorrectly positioned
WARNING
- Do not use cookware with a rough base, as it may damage the ceramic surface.
- If possible, always use a lid with the cookware.
- During use, the temperature of the accessible surfaces may be high. Keep children and pets away from the hob during use and until it has cooled down completely after use.
- If there is a crack on the hob, turn it off immediately and get it replaced by an authorised technician.
Oven controls
Function control
Turn the button to the symbol of the function you want. For the details of the different functions, refer to "Oven functions".
Oven temperature control
Once the cooking function is selected, turn this button to adjust the temperature. The oven temperature light turns on whenever the thermostat is working to heat the oven or maintain it at the required temperature setting.
Oven functions
- The functions of your oven may differ depending on the model of your appliance.
- Natural convection function: The temperature light and oven indicator light will come on and the top and bottom heating elements will start to heat up. The Natural Convection function generates heat and cooks food evenly. It is ideal for pastries, cakes, pasta bakes, lasagne and pizza. It is recommended to preheat the oven for 10 minutes and to use only one level at a time in this mode.
- Bottom heat function: The temperature light and oven warning lights come on, and the lower heating element begins to heat up. The Bottom Heat function is ideal for warming up pizzas with the heat coming from the bottom of the oven. This function is suitable for warming up dishes, but not for cooking.
- Top heat function: The temperature light and oven indicator light come on, and the top element starts to heat up. The heat coming from the top element cooks the top of the food in the oven. This function is ideal for browning food that has already been cooked and for heating up food.
