INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE ELECTRIC PLATE
The vitreous ceramic electric plate (5) is controlled by a knob (as above energy regulator). A pilot light
comes on as soon as the heating element is activated. The control knob is graded from 0 to 12. Position 0
indicates that the corresponding cooking area is switched off. Position 1 indicated that the corresponding
cooking area is at the minimum power, while position 12 indicates that the cooking area is at maximum
power.
The energy regulator controls the cooking area with two circuits (5). When the knob is turned clockwise
from position (off) to the desired position (1-12), the primary part of the cooking area is switched on. To
switch on the secondary part, turn the knob to position 12 and then turn it past position 12 as far as it will
go in a clockwise direction. At this point the secondary circuit switches on too and it is possible to vary
the power from 1 to 12 (1 = minimum, 12 = maximum).
RESIDUAL HEAT WARNING LIGHTS
There is a residual heat warning light (Q) on vitreous ceramic hob. Its purpose is to increase the safety
of the appliance because when it is lit it indicates that the cooking area is still very hot. The residual
heat warning light stays lit even after the cooking area has been switched off to warn you that it is still
hot.
Important: The ceramic hob cooking surface remains hot for a long time after use. Do not touch the
hob with your hands or let children near it. The residual heat indicator will remain lit until the hob has
cooled down. If any cracks appear in the ceramic hot, disconnect the appliance immediately from the
mains and call an authorized technical service centre.
ELECTRIC HOTPLATE
For efficient use and low energy consumption, it is advised to use pans specifically designed for electric
cooking on ceramic hobs. The bottom of the pan must be thick and flat. Its diameter must be as similar as
possible to that of the cooking ring. The surface of the hob and the bottom of the pan must be kept clean.
A – Do not leave the hotplate switched on without a pan
B – Do not wet or overheat the plates
C – Avoid sudden changes of temperature on the ceramic hob. For example, do not pour cold water onto
the hot hob.
