HI-LIGHT DOUBLE ZONE and HI-LIGHT OVAL ZONES

The heating element is formed of a 2 coils of resistant material which reaches the working temperature quickly. By switching OFF the second element (fig. 2.2), the surface area of these zones can be reduced. For this purpose see page 15

COOKING ZONES FEATURES

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches the element ON/OFF during all settings to protect the ceramic glass from overheating. The use of incorrect pans and/or wrong pan positioning will cause the temperature limiter to operate more frequently, resulting in a reduction of cooking performance. The temperature limiter can be seen under the glass dissecting the element. This is not a fault with the appliance.

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 a horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only a few centimeters from the cooking plate.

The 4 cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface. Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.

TYPE OF COOKING

Switched OFF For melting operations

(butter, chocolate). To maintain food hot and to

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

When the temperature of a cooking plate is over 60°C, the relevant Hin the touch control display is also lit-up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.

This

symbol also stay on after the cooking plate has been switched off to shown 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 time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking area.

Please pay special attention to ensure that children are not allowed near the hob.

The Hsymbol will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking plate falls below 60 °C.

COOKING HINTS

– To reduce the cooking time, you can set the fast cooking function (cf. section “FAST

AUTOMATIC HEATING OF THE COOKING ZONES” at page 16).

– You should use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass-

ceramic hobs are available from specialist shops).

– 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 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking. The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.

– To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.

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.

Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special pans or containers.

SAFETY HINTS

• Before you switch the hob on, make sure you know which touch controls the required cooking zone. We advise you to set the pan over the cooking zone before switching it on.

• Do not use pots and pans with rough bases (pay attention to cookware made of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage the glass surface of the hob (scratches).

• Always ensure that the base of your saucepan is clean and dry before placing on the hob.

• Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave silver streaks or spots on the hob.

• Do not leave wet or damp lids on the hob.

• The glass-ceramic surface and pans must be clean. Carefully eliminate any food remains (especially containing sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.

• Pan handles should never stand out beyond the kitchen worktop, as there is a great danger of knocking the pan over.

This will also ensure that children cannot reach them.

• Do not use the hob if the glass surface is broken or cracked in any way. Please disconnect the hob from the mains and contact the after-sales service.

• Do not lean over the cooking plate when in use.

• Do not lay cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface when it is hot.

• Remember that the surface remains hot for a long time (about 30 min.) after the cooking plate has been switched off.

• Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.

• Never use the glass surface for storage.
