HOW TO USE THE COOKER
HOW TO USE THE CERAMIC HOB
The hotplate power has a sequential control
device which ensures excellent control of the
cooking temperature.
The heat settings are from 1 to 6. The knob
can be set in the required position by turning
it to right or left.
When one of the cooking zones is hot, the
warning light E (see fig. 1) comes on; it
will not go off until the temperature of all
the hotplates has dropped below about 60
degrees C).
The four cooking zones are indicated by the
outlines screen-printed on the hob. For good
efficiency and appropriate energy consump-
tion, only use saucepans and utensils with
thick, perfectly flat bottoms (see fig. 3). The
diameter of the base of the pan must be at
least as large as the outline marked on the
hob. If the bottom of the pan does not cover
the heating area, energy will be wasted.
Preferably, it should be slightly larger in
diameter.
Pan bottoms and the cooking surface must
be clean and dry. Otherwise heat, and thus
energy, will be wasted.
Note:
- Never cook directly on the hotplates.
- To save time, cooking with the hotplates
may be started at full heat (knob on 6),
turning down to the ideal temperature once
the contents of the pan have heated up.
- All the hotplates are equipped with a tem-
perature limiter which prevents them from
overheating, even if a hotplate is operated
at the highest setting with no pan, or if pans
with uneven bottoms are used.
The table below will serve as a guide, bearing
in mind that cooking times and temperatures
may vary depending on the type and amount
of foods cooked and personal taste.

CAUTION
- Do not look directly at the halogen hotpla-
tes while they are on, as the light emitted
from the hotplates may be harmful to your
eyes.
- The ceramic glass surface is very tough but
it is not shatterproof and it may not be used
to place objects upon it.
- It may be damaged if struck violently by
sharp or very hard objects.
- If breakages, crazing or cracks appear on
its surface, stop using it and contact the
after-sales service immediately.
- Do not place aluminium foil or plastic film
wrappings on the hob while it is still hot.
- Soon after installation, the hob may give off
a burnt smell; this will disappear after the
first few times it is used.
IMPORTANT:
Because of their height, children may fail to
see the residual heat warning light. Take care
that they do not touch the hob, even if the
heating elements are switched off.
STATIC ELECTRIC OVEN
