! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease
on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend
you remove these with a special non-abrasive cleaning
product. During the first few hours of use there may be a
smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.

Description of the heating elements
The circular radiant heating elements become red 10 - 20
seconds after they have been switched on.
The circular hilite heating elements guarantee even heat
distribution in addition to the usual advantages that hilite
heating elements bring.
Hilite elements emit high levels of heat and light as soon
as they are switched on, offering the following practical
advantages:
· rapid heating (in relation to a gas burner)
· rapid cooling

circular heating elements)

Practical advice on using the hob
• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that they
adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough
to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the heat
produced.
• Always make sure that the base of the pan is
completely clean and dry: this ensures that the pans
adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and that both
the pans and the hob remain effective for a longer
period of time.
• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas
burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may
have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to
adhere to the surface correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a
pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone to
become damaged.
