Switch on the electric hotplates by turning the knob to
the position required.
The numbers from 1 to 12 indicate the operating
positions with temper ature incr easing with the number .
Once the f ood is boiling turn down the power
accordingtotheheatingintensityrequired.
The hotplate will continue to give out heat for 5
minutes after it has been switched off.
The characteristics of these electric hotplates, which are
fitted with a heating limiter, allow:
- rapid reaching of the temperature
- maximum use of the power with flat-b ott omed
pans
- limitation of t he power if the pan is unsuitable.

CORRECT USE OF THE ELECTRIC
HOTPLATES
When using the electric hotplate:
- absolutely avoid idle operation (without pots)
- try not to spill liquids on the hotplates when they
are hot
- only use pans with flat bottoms (electric type)
- to save electricity use lids when possible
- always use pans which cover the hotplate sur face
completely.
Operation of the electric hotplates is signalled by an
indicator light.
ATTENTION
During and after use of the electric hotplates
the hob becomes hot.
Keep children away.

GLASS CERAMIC HOB
ETK 4240
The hob’s glass ceramic surface allows rapid vertical
heat transmission from t he heating ele ments unde r the
hob to the pa ns on it.
The heat does not propagate horizontally and thus the
hob remains “cold” just a few centimetres away f rom
the cooking zone.
The two cooking zones are indicated by two circles
drawn on the glass ceramic surface.
“HILIGHT” RADIANT ZONE
The heating element is formed of a band resistance coil
which reaches the working temperature very quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a
continuous 12-positio n energy r egulato r.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR LIGHTS
When the cooking zone temperature is higher than
60
o
C, the corresponding indicator light comes on to
signal that the zone is hot.
This light remains on even after the cooking zone has
been switched off, to signal that the zone itself is still
hot.
The cooking zones remain hot for some time after they
are switched off. During this time do not touch the
cooking zone and make sure that children do not touch
them.
The light goes out automat ically when the cook ing
zone temperature drops below 60
o
C.
TIPS FOR QUICK AND CORRECT
COOKING:
- To shorte n the coo king time , when switching o n the
hob turn the knob to maximum. A fter a short time,
turn the knob to the position required for cooking.
- Use flat-bottomed cookware.
For best ener gy use the b otto m of the p an should
be of the same diameter as (or slightly larger than)
the cooking zone.
- As the cooking zone remains hot for some time
after the hob is switched off, turn the zone off a
few minutes before the end of cooking.
The residual heat will complete the cooking.
ADVICEFORTHESAFEUSEOFHOBS
- Before switching on make sure that you have the
correct knob for the hotplate chosen. It is advisable
to put the pan on the hotplate before switching on
andtotakeitawayafterswitchingoff.
- Use cookware with flat and e ven bottoms (be
careful when using cast iron vessels). Uneven
bottoms can scratch the glass ceramic surfaces. Be
careful that the bottom is clean and dry.
- Make sure that the handle s of coo kware do no t
stick out over the edge of the cooker, to avoid them
being knocked over by accident. This also makes it
more difficult for children to reach the cooking
vessels.
- Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass
ceramic hob. If the surface is broken or damaged
unplug the hob and contact the after-sales ser vice.
- Do not lean on the cooking zones when they are
switched on.
- Do not put aluminium foil or plastic objects on the
cooking zone s when they are hot.
- Remember that the cooking zones remain hot for
some time after they are switched off (about 30
min.).
- Follow t he cleaning instructions carefully.
Do not scratch the hob with cutting or sharp
objects.
Do not use the glass ceramic hob as a work
surface.
