Warnings

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.
If the burner flames are accidentally blown out, switch off the
burner operating control knob and do not try to relight it for at
least 1 minute.
A few seconds after the burner is switched off, a sound (thud)
will be produced. This is not a fault - this means that the safety
device is no longer operating.
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.

Electric hob

Models with a twin-circuit glass ceramic hotplate provide two
different hotplate configurations: a small hotplate of 700 W and
an extended hotplate of 1800 W, if your appliance works at
230 V.

Operation

Switching on
Connect the small hotplate:
Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting. The
operation indicator will light up.
Setting 0: Off setting
Setting 1: low power
Setting 9: full power
Connect the extended hotplate:
Turn the control knob clockwise beyond setting 9 and then turn
it the opposite direction to the required setting.
To use the small hotplate again, turn the control knob
anticlockwise to setting 0 and switch on again.
Note: It is recommended to start cooking on full power and
then to use intermediate power levels after a few minutes.
Switching off
Turn the knob anticlockwise to the Off setting. The residual heat
warning light will switch off once the hob surface has cooled
down.
Residual heat
The electric hob can be switched off slightly before the end of
the cooking time. The residual heat will enable you to continue
cooking for several minutes, thus saving energy.
