6. Using the ceramic hob
During normal operations, the appliance heats up considerably. Caution should therefore be used.
Do not allow children to approach the appliance. Do not leave the ceramic hob unattended
while it is on.
6.1 General warnings
The first time it is heated, the ceramic hob may develop an acrid or burnt smell caused by oily
residue from manufacturing, which disappears completely after repeated use.
The ceramic hob is fitted with a cooking area with various diameters and power (see section “12.3
Power consumption of the ceramic hob”). Their position is clearly indicated with circles and the
heat is delimited within the diameters marked on the glass.
6.2 Switching on
Position the pan or pot with the food to be cooked inside it on the required heating element.
Turn the energy regulator knob to the required setting. After a few moments, the
residual heat
indicator
corresponding to the selected heating element switches on.
If the ceramic hob is used to boil water, once it has boiled, turn the energy regulator knob to a
lower setting to prevent the liquid in the pot from boiling over and soiling the surface.
Some knobs are fitted with a
supplementary heating
setting
(griddle with dual heating
element).
To activate it, turn the energy regulator knob to position
.
6.3 Switching off
After cooking, return the knob to position .
The ceramic hob features a
residual heat indicator
which reproduces in reduced scale the
position of the heating diameters. This light indicates that the surface area is still hot.
Do not clean or touch the surface until the residual heat indicator has switched off.
