Lotus PCQ-94ET Instructions Pour L'installation Et L'emploi page 28

- Remember that whilst using glass ceramic tops, the crystal surfaces in the cooking area, increase the
temperature considerably; it is therefore necessary to take this into consideration and act accordingly.
- It is advisable to use recipients with a flat bottom, as recipients with concave or rounded bottoms
increase cooking time and energy consumption.
Indications: Each hotplate is connected to an energy regulator (selector), giving the possibility to choose from 6
different temperatures. For the first cooking, it is advisable to use the highest temperatures..
- each hotplate is provided with a temperature limiter which comes into function when the temperature
reached may damage the crystal.
- When the crystal surface heats up, the residuous heat light comes on, corresponding to the hotplate in
function. This indicator does not go off until the crystal maintains a high temperature, even with the
hotplate turned off so as to avoid danger of burns.
Warnings: Do not use pans or any recipient with the bottom in aluminium or with a tin coating.
Do not use terracotta pots as they could break or crack and therefore become unhygienic. It is
advisable to use stainless steel pans with a smooth, flat bottom and with an adequate diameter for the
heating area. If cast-iron pans are used, be careful not to slide them on the crystal, in order to avoid any
scratches. Make sure that the bottom of the pans has been dried well before placing them on the top;
avoid banging the crystal, especially with sharp or pointed objects.
Pay attention never to cover the crystal with sheets of aluminium paper or anything similar, during use.
Any kind of food (meat, fish, legumes, eggs, rice, vegetables, etc.) can be cooked on the glass ceramic coking tops,
providing suitable pans are used.
Hotplates:
Switch on the main switch installed above the appliance. Turn the control knob corresponding to the hotplate from
position "0" to the degree of coking desired, between 1 and 6. The light comes on, as son as the power supply is on. It is
advisable to turn on the hotplate at maximum temperature and, as soon as this is reached, turn the control knob to the
level desired. To turn off the hotplate, turn the knob back into position "0".
Oven:
Turn the control knob to the right and set the temperature wanted.
To turn the oven off, turn the knob to the left to position 0.
To turn the oven on, turn the selector knob (see figure) to the right or left into one of the

position "0" to the degree of heating desired, between 1 and 6. The light comes on, as son as the power supply is on.
The green light indicates the presence of electrical tension. To turn off the hotplate, turn the knob back into position
"0". The hotplates are made up of a nucleus and a crown.
Turning the knob, as indicated above, only the nucleus of the hotplate comes on; turning the knob beyond position "6",
the crown also comes on and the temperature can, once again be regulated from pos. "1" to pos. "6".
