The glass ceramic hob is fitted with different surface units :

is regulated by a control knob with 6 heat positions.

It is a combination of halogen (1/3) and high light (2/3).

The temperature rise of this surface unit is extremely rapid.

It is suitable for frying meat, rapid boiling and intensive cooking where a high

temperature is required for a very short period of time.

Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best performance from

• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and thick bases : using this

type of cookware will prevent hot spots that cause food to stick. Thick metal pots and

pans will provide an even distribution of heat.

• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry : when filling pans with liquid or using

one that has been stored in the refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely

dry before placing it on the hob. This will help to avoid staining the hob.

• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover the surface unit :

the size of the pan should be no smaller than the heating area. If it is slightly wider the

energy will be used at its maximum efficiency.

THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE The following information will help you to choose cookware which will give good perfor-

Stainless Steel : highly recommended.

Especially good with a sandwich clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits

of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminium

or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution).

Aluminium : heavy weight recommended.

Good conductivity. Aluminium residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but

can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium

Cast Iron : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Copper Bottom / stoneware: heavy weight recommended.

Good performance, but copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The

residues can be removed, as long as the hob is cleaned immediately. However, do not

let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated copper

pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob.

Porcelain/enamel : Good perfomance only with a thiny smooth, flat base.

Glass-ceramic : not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

• It is recommended that heat setting is at its highest until it has properly warmed

up and then lower to the desired cooking setting.

• The residual heat indicator lights up when the heat zone temperature reaches

60°C and above. It will stay on, even if the unit is switched off, until the surface

It will switch off when the temperature of the heat zone falls below 60°C.

• To switch off an heat zone, turn the corresponding knob back on the "0" setting.

• Positions : The examples below are intended as a guide. When you become

familiar with using your hob you will be able to work out the settings which suit

• Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it to cool down.

• Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for glass ceramic sur-

faces should be used. They are obtainable from hardware stores.

• Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface will quickly burn and

will make cleaning more difficult.

• It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which are liable to melt,

such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based products.

. Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the hob surface.

. Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp kitchen paper.

. Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.

If there are still some stubborn stains:

. Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning

fluid on the surface.

. Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of

30° to the hob, until the stains disappear.

. Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen

paper until the surface is clean.

. Repeat the operation if necessary.

Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to prevent scratches and

wear. Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again.

To remove marks left by water, use a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then

wipe with absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised cleaning fluid.

The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flat-bottomed cooking vessels,

however, it is always better to lift them when moving them from one zone to another.

The control knobs can be removed for a complete cleaning. However, you must care

not to let any liquid go into the open zones, and then to push the knobs fully on fitting

NB: • do not use a sponge which is too wet.

• never use a knife or a screwdriver.

• a scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface, as long as it is kept at

• never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach of children.

• never use abrasive products or scouring powders.

• The metal surround :
