Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing one of our products. It is
easy to use; but please read these instructions in
order to obtain the best results.

These instructions are only valid for the
countries of destination, the identification
symbols of which are marked on the
appliance. The manufacturer shall not be held
responsible for any damages to persons or
property caused by incorrect installation or
use of the appliance.

The Manufacturer shall not be held responsible for
any inaccuracies in this handbook due to printing or
transcription errors; the designs in the figures are
purely indicative. We also reserve the right to make
any modifications to the products as may be

Fig. 1

The hot plates are equipped with 4
radiant heating elements with different
powers and diameters. Cooking zones
are marked on the hob top; the power
inputs are listed above.
Close to each control knob, there is a
diagram that shows which cooking zone
that knob controls. There is a residual
heat light that turns on when the cooking
zone temperature is above 60°C. This will
turn off only when the cooking zone has
cooled below this value.

Hob controls

There are 12 settings giving a wide range of
temperatures.

Setting Suggested use

1 Melting butter, chocolate etc.

1- 4 Heating small quantities of liquid and to

keep dishes warm.

4 - 8 Heating foods, thawing deep-frozen

foods, cooking fruits and vegetables.

8 - 10 Cooking meat, fish, vegetables with

sauce.

10 - 12 Sautéing meat or fish; cooking fish,

steaks and eggs.

12 Frying with oil and heating pans full of

water.
You can turn the control knob clockwise or
anticlockwise to the required setting. The residual
heat light (marked 5 on the diagram opposite) will
come on when the zone is warm.

How to use the cooking zones

The heating areas are the circles marked on the
hob. Use pots and pans that completely cover the
circles.

IMPORTANT:
Remember:

- Place the pan on the cooking zone before
turning the control on.

- Use pots and pans with flat, solid bases.

- Use pots with the same diameter as the
cooking zones or slightly larger.

- Dry the bottom of the pot before putting it on
the cooking zone.

- Do not scrape the pot along the glass. This will
damage it.

- While you are using the hotplate, please, keep
children well away. Make sure that pot
handles are in a safe position. Never leave a
pan of fat or cooking oil unattended.

- Cooking zones stay hot after use for some
time; don’t leave objects on the hob or touch
the top until the residual heat indicator light is
off.

- Don’t use plastic pots or aluminium sheets on
the hob.

- Don’t use hob as a work surface.

CAUTION:- If a crack in the hob surface becomes

visible, due to accidental damage etc., isolate the
appliance from the electricity supply immediately by
turning it off at the wall and arrange for its repair.

DO NOT RECONNECT THE HOB TO THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UNTIL AFTER REPAIR!
Before any cleaning operation, disconnect the
appliance from the electric circuit.
