[. . . ] 10 A number of fundamental rules must be followed when using electrical appliances. The following are of particular importance: • do not touch the appliance when your hands or feet are wet • do not use the appliance barefooted • do not use extensions, but if these are necessary caution must be exercised. €¢ never pull the power supply cable or the appliance to • • 11 unplug the appliance plug from the mains. Never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents (rain, sun etc. [. . . ] Never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents (rain, sun etc. ) do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with the appliance to use it, without supervision. Always unplug the hob from the mains or switch off the main switch before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations. If the surface of the glass breaks, disconnect the appliance immediately. For repairs call only an authorised after-sales servicing centre and request the use of original spare parts only. Failure to comply with the above may compromise the safety of the appliance. If you are no longer using the appliance, remember to make it unserviceable by unplugging the appliance from the mains and cutting the supply cable. Also make all potentially dangerous parts of the appliance, safe, above all for children who could play with the appliance. the vitreous china hob is resistant to temperature fluctuations and shockproof. Remember however that sharp kitchen tools or cutters may break the surface of the hob. Lights which indicate whether the corresponding heaters are at a temperature in excess of 60°C - even when the electrical supply has been switched off i.

Double-diameter radiant heaters From a functional point of view these are similar to conventional radiant heaters, but are easily recognisable because of their double heating zone. The control knobs Each of the hob’s heating zones is equipped with a switch that regulates its temperature from a minimum value of 1 up to a maximum of 12. The following chart shows the correspondence between the positions of the knob and the different types of cooking. In the case of ceramic glass hobs with double-power heating zones, the first part of the knob’s range heats only the smaller (inside) zone. To activate both of them in order to create a larger heating zone, turn the button to the position and then select the desired power level from 1 to 12. €¢ Use pans with a large enough diameter to completely cover the heat zone as this ensures the most efficient use of the heat. €¢ Always ensure that the bases of the pans are dry and clean as this allows good contact and will prolong the life of your ceramic hob and pans.

The heat concentration of the gas burner distorts even the thickest of pan bases and thus it is impossible to obtain satisfactory results from such a pan on your ceramic hob. [. . . ]
