PYROCERAM COOKING PLATE
The pyroceram cooking plate is equipped with a pilot
light which turns on when the surface is too hot; it is a
helpful device which protects users from burns.
This light turns on some minutes after the plate has
been set into operation, abd it stays on during the
whole time of functioning and also when the plate is off
to show the presence of residual heat in the pyroceram
surface.
The pilot light turns finally off only when the surface
temperature decreases to safety values (lukewarm
temperature), more o less 50°C, allowing users to
clean the plate with no risk.
The pyroceram cooking plate is resistent to sudden
changes in temperature, it is insensitive to heat and
cold and hals also a good resistence to mechanical
blows; a sharpened object, however, no matter if it is
small (for example a point of a knife) can irreparably
damage the cooking surface, jeopardising its
functionality.
Attention: is the surface shows a crack,
immediately switch the equipment off and
call the Aftersales Service.
PLATE CLEANING AND MANTEINANCE
Fist remove all food and grease residues from the
cooking plate using a cleaning scraper.
The clean the cooking plate at low heat; use a suitable
detergent and absorbent paper.
Finally rub it with a wet cloth and dry it with a clean
cloth.
WARNING: Never place alluminium foils or
containers in plastic or other synthetic material on
the hot pyroceram surface.
Anyway, if some of these materials should settle by
accident on the plate, due to overheating, be careful to
remove them immediately, using a scraper (it is not
supplied).
In the same way, remove sugar or food residues with
high sugar content, which may have split from
saucepans.
Cleaning detergents can supply the pyroceram plate
with a protective film against dirt and damage due to
sugar-substances. To this purpose, this kind of product
must be applied before cooking.
Never use scratching sponges, abrasive products,
chemically powerful detergents (like spray oven
detergents) or spot removers.
Before using the cooking plate for the first time,
carefully wash the pyroceram plate with a non-abrasi-
ve detergent, dry it and then wsitch it on for about 10
minutes at the highest position (n. 6 of the knob).
When using the cooking plate for the first time,
unpleasant smells, or smell of burnt material, might be
smelt: this is absolutely normal and it is due to the
evaporation of greasy working residues and of hte
dope used during the installation. These smells will
vanish after some time of working.
