2 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 a horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only a few centimeters from the cooking plate. The cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface. Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.
HI-LIGHT DOUBLE ZONE and HI-LIGHT OVAL ZONES The heating element is formed of a 2 coils of resistant material which reaches the working temperature quickly. These zones are controlled by a continuous energy regulator switch (figs. 2.3a - 2.3b). The heat intensity can be regulated continuously from “0” to “12” (max). Check that the hob is clean and then switch on by turning the control knob. When the hob is working, the pilot light will be on. By switching on the second element (fig. 2.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS The hob also features 4 or 5 warning lamps which are wired to the corresponding plate. When the temperature of a cooking plate is over 60°C, the relevant warning lamp is also litup to warn of heat on the surface of the hob. These lamps also stay on after the cooking plates have been switched off to shown that the hob surface is still hot. This residual heat will lasts for a long time after the cooking plate has been switched off.
SAFETY HINTS • Before you switch the hob on, make sure you know which knob controls the required cooking zone. We advise you to set the pan over the cooking zone before switching it on. DISTORTED PANBASE • Do not use pots and pans with rough bases (pay attention to cookware made of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage the glass surface of the hob (scratches). DISTORTED PANBASE • Always ensure that the base of your saucepan is clean and dry before placing on the hob.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB Before you begin cleaning make sure that the hob is switched off. • Remove spillages and other types of incrustations. • 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 must be removed with a damp cloth. • Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as possible.
