PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL ADVICE
Attention: Danger of electrocution:
•
Before any maintenance on the appliance, disconnect it from
the electrical power supply by unplugging; this is to prevent
any risk of electrocution.
•
If the appliance is damaged, do not use it, but unplug it from
the mains and contact After-sales Service.
•
The glass ceramic hob has good mechanical resistance and is
designed to withstand minor accidents and incorrect usage;
however, if an object falls on it and damages the surface, do
not use the hob. Disconnect it from the electrical power
supply and call the nearest After- sales Service.
•
Do not use the hob as a work surface.
•
Do not use utensils, plastic containers or aluminium foil for
cooking directly on the glass ceramic hob.
•
Ensure the bottom of pots and pans are dry before using.
•
When the hob is in use, the surfaces of the hotplates become
very hot, so children must be kept safely away from the hob.
•
Fats and oil can easily catch fire if overheated, so never leave
pans unattended while frying, etc.
•
Do not leave the hotplates on without a pan in position.
•
Take steps to ensure electrical cables (e.g. of small household
appliances) do not come into contact with hot parts of the
hob.
•
Do not leave synthetic fabrics, plastic utensils or other
flammable objects on the hob.
•
Avoid scratching the surface of the hob with the bottom of
pots and pans.
•
To obtain the best cooking results, it is advisable to use flat-
bottomed stainless steel pots and pans.
The diameter of the bottom must be equal to that of the
hotplate or slightly greater.
•
Take steps to prevent sugar and other sugary ingredients such
as jam, jelly and juice, from coming into contact with the
hotplates. If you do have a spill, clean the hob thoroughly right
away, following the cleaning instructions.
•
If the hob is fitted with halogen lamps, do not stare at them.

USING THE HOB
The hotplates are clearly marked on the hob.
The hotplates are switched on, adjusted and switched off again
by turning the knobs on the oven in a clockwise direction.
Next to the 4 knobs are numbers from 0 to 12 or 10.
Each number corresponds to a power output level for cooking.
The hob features 4 luminous residual heat indicators; these light
up to indicate that the temperature of
the hotplates is still high.
The residual heat indicators light up as soon as the hotplates
reach a temperature high enough to cause burns.
They remain lit even after the relative hotplate is turned off and
only switch off once the hotplate temperature is no longer
dangerous.
HOW TO USE THE KEEP-WARM PLATE
Cooking zone/keep-warm zone
The hob is marked out with 4 cooking zones and some models
also feature a keep-warm zone.
Each cooking zone has an adjustment switch on the electric
oven.
The lay-out and operation is described in the instructions manual
provided with the oven.
Sensor buttons for the keep-warm zone
The ON/OFF button is positioned on the front edge of the hob,
in front of the keep-warm zone.
To switch on the keep-warm zone:
- press button A, marked with the symbol check that LED
A1 is lit up
The red led of button will start flashing.
If no other button is touched for 10 seconds, the keep-warm
function is automatically disabled and switched OFF (led off). After
enabling the keep-warm zone with button , touch button
to switch on the keep-warm zone (red light remains on).
To switch off the keep-warm zone, touch button again.
Important:
It is very important to keep the controls area (sensor
buttons) dry, in order to prevent the keep-warm plate
from switching off.
The surface of the keep-warm zone reaches a
temperature of around 100 °C.
To install the glass ceramic hob with the keep-warm zone
on the left, make sure that installation is carried out to
the right, in combination with the oven.
