Storage drawer

IMPORTANT: Only heat-resistant plates may be placed in the storage drawer situated under the

oven. Do not put combustible materials there.

Ceramic glass 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.

Using the hotplates

The control panel incorporates knobs to operate the four hot plates. The cooking zones and relevant control knobs are of two types:

A)normal cooking zone: the control knob (fig. 1) is a 7 position control knob: 0 = off and 1-3 indicate the levels of power up to the mawimum.

We recommend the plates are switched to maximum

(3) for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and then adjusted to the required setting.

B)double circuit cooking zone (front left)

-To switch on the smaller cooking zone, turn the relevant control knob (fig. 2) to the required heat setting between 1 and 3.

-To switch on both heating elements, turn the control knob to maximum heat setting (3) then turn the knob further to nearly reach the “0” symbol. You will hear a “click” and the wider cooking zone will switch on. Then turn back the knob and adjust it to the required heat setting. Now the two heating elements will operate together, giving a higher power output that a normal cooking zone.

Hob pilot lights

The ceramic glass hob is equipped with four pilot lights corresponding to each cooking zone. The corresponding light turns on some minutes after the plate has been set into operation, and stays on during the whole time of functioning and also when the plate is off to show the presence of residual heat in the pyroceram surface.

The pilot light turns finally off only when the surface temperature decreases to safety values (lukewarm temperature), more o less 50°C, allowing users to clean the plate with no risk.

Practical Hints

The ceramic glass hob is resistent to sudden changes in temperature, it is insensitive to heat and cold and hals also a good resistence to mechanical blows; a sharpened object, however, no matter if it is small (for example a point of a knife) can irreparably damage the cooking surface, jeopardising its functionality.

Before using the cooking plate for the first time, carefully wash the pyroceram plate with a non-abrasive detergent, dry it and then wsitch it on for about 10 minutes at the highest position.

When using the cooking plate for the first time, unpleasant smells, or smell of burnt material, might be smelt: this is absolutely normal and it is due to the evaporation of greasy working residues and of hte dope used during the installation. These smells will vanish after some time of working.

Attention: is the surface shows a crack, immediately switch the equipment off and call the Aftersales Service.

Suitable pans and pots

Remember that a large pan offers a larger surface to heat and therefore cooks food quicker than a narrow pan. Always use pans of a size suitable for the food to be cooked. In particular, take care that pans are not too small for liquid preparations which could easily spill over or that they are not too big for food which must be cooked quickly; uncovered areas on the bottom are easily burnt

by fats and juice.

For cakes, it is preferable to use tins which do not open. Fig. 3 A tin which opens lets out fruit juices and sugar which,

when spilling onto the bottom of the oven, caramelize and are difficult to clean. Avoid placing pans with plastic handles in the oven as they may not support the heat. Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should have several characteristics:

-they should be heavy duty.

-they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

-they should have a flat base to ensure good contact with the plate (Fig. 3).

This is particularly important when using pans for high temperature frying or pressure cooking.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being split onto the plates. Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an empty pan on them. Particular care should be taken when cooking with oil or fat.

During cooking, when using fats or oils, take particular care as they can, when overheated, self-ignite.
