12. USING THE HOB
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature long enough to burn
any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.
12.1 Cooking zones
The device has 4 cooking zones of various powers and diameters.
Their position is clearly indicated with circles and the heat is
limited to within the diameters traced on the glass. The 4 cooking
zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type, they turn on after a few
seconds and the heating is adjustable using the knob positioned
on the front panel.
12.2 Residual heat indicator lights
The four indicator lights positioned in front between the cooking zones turn on when one
or more heating zones surpasses 60°C. This device lets you see even after using the hob
if one or more hotplates are still hot. The indicator lights go out when the temperature
becomes lower than approximately 60°C.
Be careful of children, as the warning lights indicating residual heat on the hob are difficult for
them to see. In fact, even after having been turned off, the cooking zone remains hot for a certain
period of time.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE STOVE.
12.3 Recommendations for using the cooking hob
For best results and energy saving, only use pans suitable for electric cooking:
• The bottoms of pans must be very thick and perfectly flat. In addition,
the pans as well as the cooking hob, must be clean and dry.
• Do not use cast iron pans or pans with a rough bottom, as they may
scratch the cooking surface.
• The diameter of the bottom of the pans must be equal to the diameter of
the circle outlining the cooking zone. If not there will be a waste of
energy.
Take care not to spill sugar or sweet mixtures on to the hob when hot.
Never place materials or substances which may melt (plastic or aluminium
foil) on the hob. If this occurs, promptly switch off and remove the molten
material with the scraper provided while the cooking zone is still warm to
prevent it from being damaged. Failure to instantly clean the ceramic
hob could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once
the hob has cooled down.
