how to use the vitroceramic hob

VITROCERAMIC HOB

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 5 cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface.

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.

When the ceramic hob is working, the “ON” pilot light in the control panel will be on (g.

2.6a).

COOKING ZONES RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS

IMPORTANT When the temperature of a cooking zone is above 140 °F (60 °C), the relevant “HOT SURFACE” warning light in the vitroceramic hob (g. 2.6b) will come on to indicate that

the zone is hot. This light will stay on even after the cooking zone has been switched off to indicate that the zone is still hot. The residual heat persists for some time after the cooking zone has been switched off.

During this time avoid touching the hob and take particular care if there are children nearby.

The light will go out automatically when the cooking zone temperature drops below 140 °F (60 °C).

HINTS FOR SAFE USE OF THE VITROCERAMIC HOB

• Before switching on, check which knob controls the required cooking zone. You are

advised to place the saucepan on the hob before switching on and to take it off after switching off.

• To switch on, always lightly press the control knob then turn it.

• Use saucepans with an even at bottom (be careful of cast iron saucepans). Uneven

bottoms can scratch the pyroceram surface. Check that the bottom is clean and dry.

• The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking zone (or be slightly bigger)

to make the most of the energy.

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

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

• Do not use the top if the surface is broken or damaged.

• If you note a crack in the cooktop, switch the appliance off immediately and

call the After-Sales Service.

• Do not bend over the cooking zones when they are on.

• Do not leave aluminium foil, greaseproof paper etc. or plastic on the hob when it is hot.

• Remember that the cooking zones stay hot for quite a long time (approx. 30 min.)

after they have been switched off.

• Scrupulously follow the cleaning instructions.

• Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass ceramic cooktop.

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

Make sure that the handles of cookware do not stick out over the edge of the range, to avoid them being knocked over by accident. This also makes it more difficult for children to reach the cooking vessels.
