Caution! Do not cover the hob with aluminium foils.

Attention: Detach the appliance from the mains if the ceramic glass is cracked and contact the After-Sales Service.

Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.

HOW TO USE THE 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 the horizontal direction, so that the glass stays "cool" at only a few centimeters from the cooking plate.

Check that the hob is clean and then switch on by turning the control knob.

When the top is working, the pilot light will be on.

When the hob temperature is above 60^ , the corresponding indicator light will come on to indicate that the hob is hot.

This light will stay on even after the hob has been switched off to indicate that the hob is still hot.

The residual heat persists for some time after the hob has been switched off.

During this time avoid touching the hob and take particular care if there are children nearby.

The light will go out automatically when the hob temperature drops below 60^ .

NOTE: The knob and symbols may vary.
Fig. 2.1

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches ON/OFF the element in all settings to protect any overheating of the ceramic glass.

The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature limiter to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance.

"3-CIRCUIT" RADIANT ZONES

The heating element (fig. 2.2) consists of 3 electrical resistances which can operate together or separately according to the setting of the 7-position switch (fig. 2.1). It reaches the required temperature very quickly.

WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

COOKING HINTS:

• To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you switch the plate on. After a short time you can set the control knob to the position required for cooking.
• You should only use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass-ceramic hobs are available from specialist shops). The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger) to make the most of the energy.
• Since the cooking surface will stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been switched off, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking. The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.
• To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.
• Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop.

WARNING: Hobs become very hot with use, and retain their heat for a long time after cooking has finished (about 30 minutes).

Children should be supervised at all times and be prevented from touching the hot surfaces, until such time as the appliance has cooled.

ADVICE FOR SAFE USE OF THE COOKTOP

• Before switching on make sure that you have the correct knob for the hotplate chosen. It is advisable to put the pan on the hotplate before switching on and to take it away after switching off.
• Use cookware with flat and even bottoms (be careful when using cast iron vessels). Uneven bottoms can scratch the glass ceramic surfaces. Be careful that the bottom is clean and dry.
• Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave silver streaks or spots on the bob.
• Do not leave wet or damp lids on the bob.
• The glass-ceramic surface and pans must be clean. Carefully eliminate any food remains (especially containing sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.
• Make sure that the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the cooker, to avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to reach the cooking vessels.
• Do not lean over the cooking zones when they are switched on.
• Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass ceramic cooktop. If the surface is broken or damaged unplug the appliance and contact the after-sales service.
• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic objects on the cooking zones when they are hot.
• Remember that the cooking zones remain hot for some time after they are switched off (about 30mm ).
• Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
• If you note a crack in the cooktop, switch the appliance off immediately and call the After-Sales Service.

Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects.

Do not use the glass ceramic surface as a work surface.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB

Before you begin cleaning make sure that the appliance is switched off.

Remove any encrustation using a scraper specific for glass ceramic surfaces.

Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.

If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring.

Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob. All traces of the cleaner have to be removed with a damp cloth.

It is highly recommended to keep off the hob any article which can melt: plastic, aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.

If any of these products has melted on the ceramic surface, you should remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the hob.

Avoid using any knife or sharp utensil since these can damage the ceramic.

Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface permanently.

ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!

If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using a special tool (i.e. scraper) take extra care to avoid damage to the seal at the edges of the glass ceramic surface.
