Using the glass ceramic hob

! 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.

Cooking zones

The hob is equipped with electric radiant heating
elements. When they are in use the following items on
the hob become red.

Switching the cooking zones on and off
Traditional cooking zones
Traditional cooking zones are made up of circular heating
elements. They turn red approximately ten seconds after
they have been turned on.
Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob allowing
you to select from 12 different temperature settings from a
minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12.
Extendable cooking zones
The extendable radiant elements (B) are recognisable by
the fact that they have a double heating zone. You can
turn on only the smaller internal cooking zone or both the
external and internal zones.
The control knob allows you to choose between two power
levels, which are both adjustable between a minimum
value of 1 to a maximum of 12:
• The lowest power level can be set by turning the knob
clockwise from 1 to 12.
• Turn the knob to completely () until you hear a slight
click, to enable the maximum power level, which in turn
can be adjusted between 12 and 1 by turning the knob
anticlockwise. To restore the minimum power level, turn
the knob and set it back to position 0.
For double cooking zones, the first part of the knob
movement activates the smaller cooking zone (internal).
To activate both (internal and external), it is necessary to
turn the knob completely () and then select the desired
power level between 12 and 1.

Practical advice on using the hob
To obtain the best results with your 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 last 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.
