VITROCERAMIC HOBS
4
4
The main characteristic of this pyroceram cooker top is that it permits rapid vertical
transmission of the heat from the heating elements below to the saucepans on top.
The heat does not spread horizontally, however, and therefore the glass stays cold only
a few centimetres from the hob.
The hobs are controlled by the 7 positions switch (0÷6) (fig. 4.1) or by the continuous
energy regulation switch (0÷12) (fig. 4.2).
The heat intensity can be regulated continuously from 0 (off) to “6” or “12” (max).
Check that the hob is clean and then switch on by turning the control knob.
When the top is working, the pilot light will be on.
When the hob temperature is above 60°C, the corresponding indicator light will come
on to indicate that the hob is hot.
This light will stay on even after the hob has been switched off to indicate that the hob
is still hot.
The residual heat persists for some time after the hob has been switched off.
During this time avoid touching the hob and take particular care if there
are children nearby.
The light will go out automatically when the hob temperature drops below 60°C.
TYPES OF COOKING AREA
“3 circuiti” radiant zones
(Fig. 4.3)
The heating element consists of 3 electrical resistances which can operate together or
separately according to the setting of the 7-position switch or energy regulator 0-12.
It reaches the required temperature very quickly.
“Hi-light” radiant zones (Fig. 4.4)
The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the working
temperature quickly.
Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator from 1
(minimum position) to 12 (maximum temperature).
Halogen zones (Fig. 4.5)
The heating element consists of 2 halogen lamps and an electrical resistance.
It instantly reaches the required temperature.
The area is controlled by a continuous energy regulator from 1 (minimum position) to 12
(maximum temperature).
Warning for eyes: Do not stare at the lamp when it is on.
