3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
3.1 Your environmental responsibility
Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, which are therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the
packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can
constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the
collection of electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables
intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot
accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the
connecting cable to the power grid, removing it along with the plug.

5. USING THE HOB
5.1 Glass ceramic hob
The appliance has two cooking zones of various
power levels and diameters.
The positions are clearly indicated by circles and the
heat is concentrated within the diameters traced on
the hob. The radiating zones come on after a few
seconds and their heat level can be adjusted by
rotating the knob of the power regulator.
To switch the cooking zones on, rotate the knob to the
desired position between 1 and 9..
The adjustment is gradual so all the intermediate
zones can be used. The lights to the side of the knobs
indicate the residual heat: they come on when the
electric hot plates exceed 50°C and go off when the
temperature falls below this level. For cleaning, see
paragraph "6.2 Cleaning the cooking hob parts".

Instructions for the user
5.1.1 Cooking guidelines
The table below shows the power values which can be set, with the relative type
of food alongside. Settings may vary depending on the amount of food and
personal taste.

For best cooking results and energy saving, only use containers suitable for
electric cooking:
• The bases of containers must be very thick, perfectly flat and clean and dry.
The hob must also be clean and dry.
• Do not use cast iron saucepans or saucepans with a rough base, as they
may scratch the cooking surface.
To heat food, keep small amounts of water on the boil,
and whip up sauces with egg yolk or butter.
To heat solid or liquid food, keep water on the boil, thaw
deep-frozen food, cook omelettes of 2 or 3 eggs, fruit and
vegetables, various cooking processes.
To stew meat, fish and vegetables, simmer food, make
jams, etc.
To roast meat, fish, steaks and liver; to sauté meat, fish,
eggs, etc.
To deep-fry potatoes, etc., or bring water to the boil
rapidly.
The diameter of the base of the saucepans must be equal to the diameter of the
circle outlining the cooking zone. If not, energy will be wasted.

Instructions for the user
5.2 Induction hob
Metal objects such as silverware or lids must not be placed on the cooking hob
surface as they can become very hot.
5.2.1 Cooking zones
The appliance has two cooking zones of various
power levels and diameters. Their position is clearly
indicated with circles and the heat is limited to within
the diameters traced on the glass.
Under each cooking zone there is a coil called an
inductor which is powered by an electronic system and
which creates a variable magnetic field. When a pan is
positioned within this magnetic field, the high
frequency currents are concentrated directly onto the
pan producing the heat required for cooking the food.
The symbols alongside the knobs indicates the
cooking zone they control. To switch a zone on, press
the knob and turn it to the desired position. Adjustment
is continuous, so the appliance functions when set to
the intermediate values as well. To switch off a zone,
reset the knob to
0.
12
The two displays next to the cooking zones indicate
the cooking power and special “Booster” and
“Automatic heating” functions.
