The control knobs for the hob electric hotplates (I)
The cookers can be fitted with normal and rapid electric
hotplates in a variety of combinations (the rapid hotplates
can be distinguished from the rest by the red boss in the
centre of the same). To avoid any heat loss and damage to
the hotplates, we advise you to use pans with a flat bottom,
with a diameter which matches that of the hotplate itself. The
table contains the different settings indicated on the knobs
and the use for which the hotplates are recommended.

Instructions for using the pyroceram top
To obtain the best results from your hob, there are some
basic rules to follow when cooking or preparing food.
· All types of pots and pans may be used on the ceramic
glass cooktop. However, the bottom surface must be
perfectly flat (see Fig. A). Naturally, the thicker the
bottom of the pot or pan, the more uniformly the heat
is distributed.
Fig. A
· Make sure that the base of the pan completely covers
the cooking ring, so as to make full use of the heat
produced (Fig. B)
Fig. B
· Always make sure that the pan base is always dry and
clean so as to guarantee proper contact as well as
longer-lasting pans and the long life-span of the hob.
· Do not use the same pans which are used for cooking
on gas burners. The heat strength of gas burners may
deform the pan base and will not give the same results
if it is subsequently used on a glazed ceramic hob.
