Before the First Use of the Appliance

Before using the appliance remove all packaging, including the advertising labels and any protective film.

" Whentime: using the hob for the first

1)place on all the plates a pan filled with some water;

2)switch the plates on for about 10 minutes at “maximum” position until water inside the pans boils;

3)then, turn the control knob to “minumum” and allow the plates to run for approximately 20 minutes;

4)open a window for ventilation.

During this time, the plates may smoke a little and an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is absolutely normal and it is caused by residues of manufacturing.

Once this operation is carried out, let the plates to cool down, then clean them with a soft cloth soaked in warm water.

Rapid Hotplates

The rapid hotplates are indicated by a red dot, and will heat up more quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots are painted on the plate, they may deteriorate during use and even disappear completely after a period of time. This will not affect the performance of the hob.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after a short while.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table.

For the correct use of the hotplates

For better efficiency of the electric hotplates and lower electricity consumption:

•switch on the hotplates only after placing the pots on them.

•For cooking on the electric hotplates

it is advisable to use triple-bottom pots of the same width as the cooking zone, or slightly larger (Fig. 3).

•Do not use wet pots on the electric

hot-plates, and do not place wet lids on the switched off hot-plates, becausethemoistureandcondensate could damage them.

•If possible, place lids on the pots.

Copper or aluminium pots and pans are not very suitable for cooking on the electric hotplates, because they can leave residues, stains and marks. Likewise, meat grills in cast iron or otheralloysarenotsuitableforcooking on the electric hotplates, because they cause dangerous accumulation of heat.

Also, the rough bottom can scratch the cooktop and the material can stain it. Possibly choose a meat grill in stainless steel with triple bottom.

The use of glass containers is also inadvisable, because they usually have very uneven bottoms. Never use plastic containers.

•Do not place unstable or deformed

pots on the hotplates because they could tip over or spill their contents and thus cause accidents.

•Pots must not enter the control zone.

•Make sure boiling liquids do not spill onto the hotplates.
