The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical
direction, from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set
on it.
The heat does not spread in the horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool”
only a few centimeters from the cooking plate.
This model features 4 quick-light star hotplates.
The hotplates are controlled by 7-position switches (0 - 6).
The heat power can be increased by steps from “0” (off) to “6” (max).

The ceramic hob has the temperature control knobs located on the right hand side of
the hob.
These knobs are wired as follows (Fig. 9):
1 Rear right plate
2 Rear left plate
3 Front left plate
4 Front right plate
The hob is provided with a signal lamp (5) which lights up when the hob is switched
on.
The hob also features 4 warning lamps (6) which are wired to the corresponding plate.
They warn of any remaining heat in a hotplate and switch off when the temperature of
the relevant cooking-plate falls below 60 C°.

Before you switch the hob on make
sure that it is clean.
To switch a cooking plate on you must
turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise.
When the hob is on, the signal lamp “5”
of fig. 6 is lit-up.
When the temperature of a cooking
plate is over 60°C, the relevant warning
lamp “6” of fig. 9 is also lit-up to warn of
heat on the surface of the hob.
This lamp also stays on after the cooking
plate has been switched off to show
that the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat lasts for a rather long
time after the cooking plate has been
switched off.
During this spell of time you should
avoid touching the hob surface
over the cooking plate; please pay
special attention to children.
The lamp will switch off automatically as
soon as the surface temperature of the
cooking plate falls below 60°C.
QUICK-LIGHT HOTPLATE
Incorporating 3 heating elements you
can control and light up all together or
separately by a 7 position switch.
Reaches the working temperature very
quickly.
The side figure (11) shows this hotplate
working on 3 different settings.

COOKING HINTS:
✓
To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you
switch the plate on.
After a short time you will set the control knob to the required position for the
cooking.
✓
You should use pots and pans with flat bases.
The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly
bigger) to make the most of the energy.
✓
Since the cooking surface stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been
switched off, you can switch it off minutes before the end of cooking.

1. Never put aluminium foil or plastic
materials on the ceramic surface when
the hob is hot.
2. Make sure that the hob is clean before
you use it.
3. Remember that the plates will remain
hot for approximately half an hour after
the plate has been switched off.
4. Before you switch the hob on, make
sure that you know which knob
controls the required hot plate. We
advise you to set the pan over the
cooking plate before switching it on.
5. Pan handles should never protrude
over the front of the worktop. This will
ensure that children cannot reach
them.
6. Do not use pans with rough bases as
these may scratch the hob surface.
7. DO NOT use the hob if the glass
surface is broken or cracked in any
way. Please disconnect the appliance
from the mains and contact our AfterSales Service.
8. Do not lean over the cooking plate
when in use.
9. Follow the cleaning instructions
carefully.
10. Always ensure that the base of your
saucepan is clean and dry before
placing on the hob.
11.Never use the glass surface for
storage.
12.
WARNING:
Hobs become very hot with use,
and retain their heat for a long time
after cooking has finished (about 30
minutes).
Children should be supervised at all
times and be prevented from
touching the hot surfaces until such
time as the appliance has cooled.

It is very important that the pans used on the hobs are made of a suitable material and
have the correct base as follows:
✓
The base should be flat and smooth.
Any rough part on the pan base could scratch the hob surface.
✓
Choose pans which are the same size as the hotplates and with bases that are as
non reflective as possible. eg. dull and dark.
✓
Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.
Pans made of the following materials can cause problems:-
Cast Iron – The base may be rough which will scratch the hob.
Toughened – If the pan becomes too hot, the hob may overheat and reduce cooking
Glass efficiency.
Copper – Can easily distort and will therefore not form a good contact between base
and hob which will result in uneven cooking.

Before you begin cleaning make sure that the hob is switched off.
Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.
Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.
If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring. Abrasive
or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.
All traces of the cleaner have to be removed with a damp cloth.
Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as
possible.
If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difficult to remove.
This is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could
permanently pit the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.
If any of these products has melted on the ceramic surface, you should remove it
immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid any permanent
damage to the surface of the hob.
Avoid using any knife or sharp utensil as these may damage the ceramic surface.
Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface.
