Cooking zone description

Halogen zones

This type of cooking zone transmits heat through the radiation of its halogen lamp. Halogen zones are appreciated for their properties, which are similar to those of gas burners: rapid reaction to settings, instant display of the power level.

Radiant zones

This type of burner consists of several coils that guarantee the even distribution of heat over the bottom of the pan and ensure the success of all cooking on low heat: simmering, sauces or reheating.

The end of programmed cooking is signalled by a beep (one minute long) and the cooking zone is turned off.

The safety devices

Acoustic signal

Anomalies such as:

• an object (such as a saucepan or a lid, etc.) placed for more than 10 seconds on the control zone,
• boiled-over liquids or food spilled on the control zone,
  • prolonged pressure on a key,...

could cause a beep to sound and the hob to turn off.

To stop the beep from sounding, remove the cause of the malfunction.

To use the hob, turn it back on and re-select the cooking zone(s) you wish to use. Set the desired heating power.

Safety cut out

Your appliance is fitted with a safety cut out which intervenes after a certain amount of time (see table) depending on the power setting. When the safety cut out has intervened, the power display indicates "0".

for example: the back right cooking zone is set to 5 and the front left zone is set to 2. The back right zone will turn off after 4 hours of operation and the front left zone will turn off after 6 hours of operation.

To unlock the controls, turn the hob off by pressing the

① key.

Power level	Maximum operating time in hours
1-2 6
3-4 5
5	4
6-7-8 1,5
9	1,5

Overheating

Prolonged use of the hob could cause the electronic components to overheat.

A thermal protection device momentarily sets a reduced power (setting 3) on the front cooking zones until the temperature has dropped back down to a suitable level.

Advice on using your appliance

To get the best from your hob, it is vital that you follow a few fundamental rules during cooking and when preparing food.

- Use pans with a flat bottom so they adhere fully to the heating zone.

- Always use pans whose diameter covers the cooking zone fully so that all the available heat can be used.

• Make sure the pan base is always clean and dry, to guarantee good contact and long life for the cooking zones and pans alike.
• Avoid using pans used normally on gas burners. The concentration of heat on gas burners can warp the bottom of the pan, consequently you would never obtain the desired result when using the pan on the glass ceramic hob.
• Never leave a cooking zone on without a pan on it as the maximum heat level would be reached very quickly, which could damage the heating elements.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a shock caused by a sharp object. In this case, unplug the appliance immediately and contact an authorised after-sales service centre to have it repaired.

Always keep your hob clean. Before proceeding with maintenance operations, check that all the cooking zones are turned off and have cooled down completely.

Stainless steel frame (only on some models)

Stainless steel can stain as an effect of enduring contact with limescale in water or as an effect of highly aggressive detergents (containing phosphorus). We recommend you rinse and dry it thoroughly after maintenance. It is preferable to remove any water spills immediately.

Hob care

The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal shocks and to mechanical shocks under normal conditions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we recommend you care for your hob as follows:

• for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels.
• If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thoroughly.
• food residue and dirt can be removed using a special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations. For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy water.
• When the hob is clean, you can apply a special product for the care and protection of the same: this type of product leaves an invisible film on the surface of the hob to protect the same against any spills and boiled-over food. It is best if you do this when the hob is lukewarm or cold.
• Make sure you always rinse the hob with clean water and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning products could become encrusted onto the hob during subsequent cooking.

Recommendations

• Never use abrasive or corrosive substances, such as aerosol cleaners for grills and ovens, stain removers or rust removers, scouring powders and abrasive sponges: even the delicate ones could scratch the hob surface irreversibly.
• We recommend you keep all items which could melt away from the hob, such as plastic utensils, sugar or products with a high sugar content. Should liquid boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immediately (while the hob is still hot) using a razor blade scraper, in order to avoid damaging the surface.
• Use this hob exclusively for cooking. Do not place items on the hob when the same is not in use. Do not use the hob as a work surface (by placing lids, saucepans or dishcloths on it, for example), nor as a chopping board.
• Never leave aluminium wrappers, aluminium foil and plastic cookware on the hob when hot or still warm.
• Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners to clean your appliance.
