USE

1) ELECTRIC HOB

The hot plates are equipped with radiant heating
elements with different powers and diameters.
Cooking zones are aesily identifiables thanks to the
circles (see illustration in description) on the top;
relative powers are listed in the scheme n. 1.
On the frontal panel, close to each knob, has been
silk-screened a scheme where is indicated to which
cooking zone the knob refers (fig. 1).
In some particular models the scheme annexes a
light indicator that turns on when the cooking zone
temperature is above 60 °C (fig. 1).
The indicator will turn off only when the temperature
of the cooking zone will be below the value: this is
the reason why we call it residual heat indicator.
Some other models they have only one indicator
(see description paragraph).

Connection of electric heating elements

Heating elements are controlled by energy
regulators with 12 positions (see fig. 1) that permit
to obtain a big range of different temperatures for a
specified time adjustable by the knob of timer
(fig. 2).
In scheme 1, by way of information, we give
instructions to obtain different cooking levels.
The connection of heating elements comes after the
activation of the timer (fig. 2) turning clockwise the
relative knob.
The heating element can be connected turning
clockwise or anticlockwise the relative knob on
desired position (fig. 1).

Timer

Timer allows to heating elements to turn off
automatically by acoustic warning.
It can be used also as timer (without turning off) and
can be set for a period of max. 60 minutes.

How to use cooking zones

Heating takes place only in the inside part of the
circles drawn on the special glass.The circles have
to be wholly covered by the pots.

Attention: use the hob only

under sorveillance!
