For dual double-flame burners, the inner and outer flames can
be controlled separately. The available power levels are as
follows:
Operating and residual heat indicator
All the hotplates have an operating and residual heat indicator
which comes on when the flame on the corresponding hotplate
is lit.
Once the hotplate is switched off, the residual heat indicator
remains on indicating that the hotplate temperature is too high.
Do not touch the hotplate while the indicator light is on.
After a while the residual heat indicator will go off, indicating
that the temperature of the hotplate has dropped and is no
longer too high. Care must then be taken when touching the
appliance to avoid burns, since the hotplate may not have
completely cooled down.
Protection against overheating
The hob has a protection against overheating system to protect
the electrical installation. This switches off all the burners in
case of overheating and the operating indicators start to flicker.
Turn all control knobs to setting 0. Wait until the appliance has
cooled down sufficiently. Now you can reconnect the appliance
normally. The rapid flickering of the burner operation indicators
switches off or is replaced by the residual heat indicator.

Warnings
This appliance will not function if it is not connected to the
mains or if the electricity supply is cut off.
It is normal to hear a soft whistling noise while the burner is
operating.
When first used, it is normal for the burner to give off odours.
This does not pose any risk and does not indicate a
malfunction. They will disappear in time.
An orange-coloured flame is normal. This is caused by the
presence of dust in the atmosphere, spilt liquids, etc.
Keep the burner as clean as possible. If the ignition sparkers
are dirty they will not light properly. Clean them periodically
using a small non-wire brush. Bear in mind that the ignition
sparkers must not suffer any serious impacts.
