Electric hobs

Before using for the first time

To remove the new smell, switch the hotplates on to full power for five minutes, one by one, without placing any pans on top. Do not switch more than one hotplate on at a time. At this point it is normal to notice smoke and odours, but these will disappear over time.

Caution!

Do not operate the hotplates without placing pans on top, except during this initial heating phase.

Operation

Each control knob shows the hotplate that it controls.

4

Switching on

Turn the control knob anticlockwise to the required setting. The operation indicator will light up.

Setting 1: low power. Setting 9: full power.

Note: It is recommended to start cooking on full power and then to use intermediate power levels after a few minutes.

Switching off

Turn the control knob clockwise to the off setting. The operation indicator will switch off.

Residual heat

The electric hob can be switched off slightly before the end of the cooking time. The residual heat will enable you to continue cooking for several minutes, thus saving energy.

Cooking guidelines

The following suggestions are intended as a guide only. Increase the power for:

■large quantities of liquid,

■preparation of large dishes,

■uncovered pans.

Cooking:	Setting
Melting: chocolate, butter, gelatine.	1-2
Cooking: rice, white sauce and ragout.	2-3
Cooking: potatoes, pasta, vegetables.	4-5
Light frying: stews, roast joints.	4-5
Steaming: fish.	5
Heating, keeping things warm: ready	2-3-4-5
meals.
Grilling: escalopes, steaks, omelettes.	6-7-8
Cooking and browning	9

Precautions for use

The following advice is intended to help you save energy and prevent pan damage:

■Use pans which are suitably sized for the hotplate. The diameter of the base of the pan should match that of the hotplate, and should not be smaller.

■Use a pan with thick flat base.

■Do not use damaged pans that do not sit on the hotplate in a stable manner.

■Place the pan in the centre of the hotplate. Otherwise it could tip over.

■Always use the pan lids when cooking.

■Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.

■Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.

■Do not cover the hob with aluminium foil or similar products when cooking. This could damage the hob.

■Do not allow liquids to boil over onto the hob and hotplates. Use deep pans when cooking with large quantities of liquid.

■The hob must be kept dry. Salt water and wet pans can damage the hob. Do not cook with wet pans.

Cleaning and maintenance

Any food which spills onto the hob must be cleaned off immediately with a dishcloth.

The hotplates should be cleaned with soap and water when they have cooled.

Dry the hob. Moisture may cause the hotplates to rust over time. Wet hotplates should be dried quickly.

To protect the surface of the hotplates, treat them with oil or any other protective product available on the market.

Stainless steel surfaces

Over time, bluish or yellowish stains may appear on the hob and around the edges of the hotplates. Use stainless steel cleaners.

It is recommended that the cleaning product available from our Technical Assistance Service (code 464524) is used regularly.

Avoid using this type of product in areas with screen printed indications. The indications could be erased.

Do not use abrasive cleaning products.

Enamel surfaces

Clean the cooking hob using a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaning products or scouring sponges. This could cause the hob to lose its shine.

Preventing damage

Caution!

■The hob must be kept dry. Salt water and wet pans can damage the hob.

■Try not to spill salt on the surface of the hob.

■Never use abrasive products, steel scourers, sharp implements, knives, etc. to remove bits of hardened food from the hob.

■Do not use steam cleaners. This could damage the hob.

Used appliances and packaging

If the ) symbol is shown on the specifications plate, bear in mind the following instructions:

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

The packaging of your appliance has been manufactured using only the materials which are strictly necessary to guarantee efficient protection during transport. These materials are 100% recyclable, thus reducing the environmental impact. You can also contribute to caring for the environment by following the advice below:

■Dispose of the packaging in the appropriate recycling bin.

■Before you get rid of an old appliance, make sure you disable it. Contact your local authority to find out the address of your nearest recycling centre to dispose of your appliance.
