Combined halogen and electrical heating elements. The cooktop utilises heating elements which are made up of two halogen lamps and a circular heating element.This combination provides ideal heat distribution across the entire surface of the cooking area without compromising the advantages of the halogen lamps.The main characteristic of halogen lamps is that they produce an instantaneous emission of a large quantity of light and heat, which means: • a rapid source of heat similar to that provided by gas burners; • an equally rapid elimination of the heat source. Halogen lamps are extremely easy to use and their operation is similar to that of other heating elements. Please refer to the table 1. Table 1 The control knobs Each cooking area is equipped with a control knob to regulate the temperature at any time from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12. The table 1 provides information on the settings indicated on the knobs and the corresponding, recommended uses. The “ ON” indicator light (B) This light comes on when one of the heating elements has been turned on. Residual heat indicator light (D) This light indicates that the temperature of one or more cooking areas is above 60°C, even thought the elements have been turned off. Some models come equipped with four such indicator lights, one for each of the four cooking areas.

The concentration of heat on gas burners can warp the bottom of the pan, consequently you would never obtain the desired result when using the pan on the glass ceramic hob. • Never leave a cooking zone on without a pan on it as the maximum heat level would be reached very quickly, which could damage the heating elements. • The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a shock caused by a sharp object. In this case, unplug the appliance immediately and contact an authorised after-sales service centre to have it repaired. Always keep your hob clean. Before proceeding with maintenance operations, check that all the cooking zones are turned off and have cooled down completely. Stainless steel frame (only on some models) Stainless steel can stain as an effect of enduring contact with limescale in water or as an effect of highly aggressive detergents (containing phosphorus).We recommend you rinse and dry it thoroughly after maintenance. It is preferable to remove any water spills immediately. Hob care The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal shocks and to mechanical shocks under normal conditions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we recommend you care for your hob as follows: • for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels. • If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thoroughly. • food residue and dirt can be removed using a special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations. For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy water. • When the hob is clean, you can apply a special product for the care and protection of the same: this type of product leaves an invisible film on the surface of the hob to protect the same against any spills and boiled-over food. It is best if you do this when the hob is lukewarm or cold. • Make sure you always rinse the hob with clean water and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning products could become encrusted onto the hob during subsequent cooking. Recommendations • Never use abrasive or corrosive substances, such as aerosol cleaners for grills and ovens, stain removers or rust removers, scouring powders and abrasive sponges: even the delicate ones could scratch the hob surface irreversibly. • We recommend you keep all items which could melt away from the hob, such as plastic utensils, sugar or products with a high sugar content. Should liquid boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immediately (while the hob is still hot) using a razor blade scraper, in order to avoid damaging the surface. • Use this hob exclusively for cooking. Do not place items on the hob when the ...
