USE

1) ELECTRIC HOB

The hot plates are equipped with 4 radiant heating elements with different powers and diameters. Cooking zones are easily identifiable thanks to the circles (see illustration in description) on the top; relative powers are listed in the scheme n.1.

A scheme has been silk-screened onto the front panel indicating which cooking zone the knobs refers to (fig. 1 - 3).

In some particular models the scheme annexes a light indicator that turns on when the cooking zone temperature is above 60° C (fig. 1-3).

The indicator will turn off only when the temperature of the cooking zone will be below the value: this is the reason why we call it residual heat indicator. Some other models have only one indicator (see description paragraph).

Connection of electric heating elements

Heating elements are controlled by energy regulators with 12 positions or by commutators with 6 positions that permit a wide range of different temperatures. In Scheme 1, by way of information, we give instructions to obtain different cooking levels.

To connect the heating elements it is necessary to turn the relative knob clockwise or anticlockwise. Indicator light 6 shows the connection of one or more heating elements.

How to use the cooking zones

Heating takes place only in the inside part of the circles drawn on the special glass. The circles have to be completely covered by the pots.
