[. . . ] Before using the hob for the first time, pre-heat it to the maximum temperature long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food unpleasant odours. 8. 2 Cooking zones The appliance has 5 cooking zones of various diameters and power levels. Their position is clearly indicated with circles and heat is released within the diameters traced on the glass ceramic surface. The 5 cooking zones are HIGH-LIGHT zones and come on a few seconds after activation. The heat intensity can be adjusted using the knobs located on the front panel from a minimum to a maximum value. The cooking zones indicated by two concentric circles ( ) allow double heating, either within the inner circle or in both circles. The four lights located between the cooking zones come on when the temperature of one or more of the radiating zones exceeds 60°C. These lights switch off when the temperature falls below approximately 60°C. 49 Instructions for the user To obtain better results and save energy, only use containers suitable for cooking on electric cookers. Before placing a container on the hob, check that both hob and container are completely clean and dry. • To avoid scratches to the hob, do not use cast iron containers or containers with an uneven base. • In order to avoid wasting energy, make sure that the diameter of the container base is the same as the diameter of the circle marked on the hob. Take care not to spill sugar or sugar mixtures on the hob when it is hot. Do not place materials or substances that could melt on the hob (plastic or aluminium foil). If melting does occur, in order to avoid compromising the condition of the hob surface, immediately switch it off and remove the melted material using the scraper provided, while the hob is still warm. Failure to clean the glass ceramic hob straight away could lead to encrustations which are impossible to remove once the hob has cooled down. Important: Supervise children carefully as they cannot readily see the residual heat warning lights on the hob. The cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off. Make sure that children do not touch the hob at any time. 50 Instructions for the user 9.
