Description of the heating elements
The radiant elements "1-2-3" consist of circular heating
elements. These become red a few seconds after they have
been switched on.
They are extremely easy to use because they are similar to
the other heating elements. Please refer to table 1.
Control knobs
Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob "5", which
can be used to continuously adjust the temperature intensity
level to values between a minimum of 1 and a maximum of
12. Table1 lists the correspondences between the positions
indicated on the knob and the use for which the hotplates
are recommended.
The "1-2" hotplate control knob usually only activates the
small
/
part of the hotplate. To activate the entire
large hotplate, turn the knob past position 12, to the
symbol; a click will indicate that the entire hotplate has
been activated. The temperature level may now be adjusted
to the desired value, up to level 12, using the same knob.

Advice for the operation of the ceramic glass hob
To achieve the best results using your hob, there are several
basic suggestions which should be taken into account while
cooking or preparing food.
• Use pans with a flat base so as to ensure the pan adheres
properly to the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough
to cover the cooking zone fully, in order to use all the
available heat.
• Make sure that pan bases are always clean and dry, in
order to guarantee perfect contact with the hob and to
safeguard the durability of the hotplates and the pans
themselves.
• Do not use cookware which has been used with gas
/
burners. The concentration of heat from gas burners is
such that it may warp the base of the pan, and therefore
the desired result will never be achieved if it is then used
on the glass ceramic hob.
Using the oven
! Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from
the sides of the appliance.
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty
oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for
at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated
before switching the oven off and opening the oven door.
The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused
by protective substances used during the manufacturing
process burning away.
