SWITCHING THE HEATING ELEMENTS
The cooking zones are clearly visible on the
hob, being circular. Only the inside of the circles
traced on the glass is heated.
The hob has a built-in warning light that
switches on when the temperature in the
cooking zone exceeds 60°C. This warning light
will only switch off when the temperature in
the cooking zone has gone below this value
and it is for this reason it is called the "residual
heat warning".
The heating elements with a single cooking
zone, are controlled by energy regulators with
12 positions (A) that permit to obtain a big
range of different temperatures.
The heating element with a double cooking
zone, are controlled by 12-position energy
regulators (B).
By turning the knob from 1 to 12, the powers
of the first zone of cooking "1" are regulated.
By turning besides the number 12, the second
zone of cooking "2" is activated (fig. 3).
In this position, both work the zone of cooking
to the maximum power. By turning the knob
counterclockwise to regulate its power.
Only returning on the position "0" the second
zone of cooking is disconnected.
A red coloured warning light signals that the
heating elements are on.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING CERAMIC GLASS
HOBS
• Ceramic glass is a natural product and, like
any other material in ceramic, can have an
uneven surface. You might even see some
bubbles inside the ceramic glass itself: these
will not influence cooking or the lifetime of
the hob.
• Illumination of the single cooking zones
might differ. This depends on the technical
characteristics of the heating elements.
This has absolutely no effect on quality or
operation.
• According to how you look at it, the
incandescent heating might appear to go
over the edge of the cooking zone.
• Do not put very hot pans on the outer edge
of the hob.
• Do not use pans with aluminum bottom.
• Do not use the hob as a work top and take
care not to let hard or sharp objects fall on it.
The top could be damaged.
• Do not put empty enamelled pans on the
heat. Both the bottom of the pan and the
ceramic glass could be damaged.
• Do not drag pans or other objects over the
glass top which could get scratched.
• Clean and dry the bottom of the pan before
putting it on the hob. Salt, sugar or grains of
sand, for example, that could be in greens,
can scratch.
• Clean off immediately any spilled liquid.
• Do not cook or reheat food wrapped in tin
foil or plastic containers. Both the tin foil and
the plastic containers would melt, sticking to
the hob.
