Operation
Before the first use
Before using the hob for the first time, switch it on for
about 10 minutes at the highest position.
When using the hob for the first time, unpleasant smells,
or smell of burnt material, might be smelt: this is
absolutely normal and it is due to the evaporation of
greasy working residues and of hte dope used during
the installation. These smells will vanish after some time
of working.
Use of electric plates
3) Rapid hot plate - 145 mm Ø
4) Normal hot plate - 145 mm Ø
5) Normal hot plate - 180 mm Ø
6) Control knobs
7) Pilot light
Rapid hot Plate
This type is indicated by a red circle in the middle of the
plate.
The red circle is painted on and so will deteriorate and
may come off completely over a period of time.
A rapid plate will heat up much more quickly than a
normal plate.
Pilot lamp
The pilot light signals the connection of the electric
plate.
To switch on the plates, turn the relevant knob to the
required position.
26
Electric plate with 7 position
knob
Very low 1 To keep food hot. To melt
butter or chocolate.
The plates are regulated by a 7 position switch:
Position 0: off
Position 1: minimum disbursement of heat
Position 6: maximum disbursement of heat
In the intermediate positions, 2-3-4-5, increasing power
values are obtained.
When cooking with fats or oils maximum care
must be taken as these can self-ignite when
over-heated.
Normal and rapid plates: For best results we
advise you to initially regulate the switch to
rapid to accelerate the heating of the plate and
then turn the switch to the position most suitable
for the food to be cooked.
Hints and tips
Practical hints
- When cooking by electric, saucepans should have a
thick base and be perfectly flat in order to ensure total
contact with the plate and, consequently, perfect
conduction (Fig. 1).
- Occasionally, saucepans have a thin bottom and these
loose their shape over a period of time. In this manner
two of the qualities of the electric plate are lost: the
even distribution of heat and the saving of energy.
Cooking time is also lengthier. We therefore
recommend that you acquire a battery of kitchenware
specifically for use with electric plates. Furthermore,
these particular saucepans are easy to use and clean.
- Recipients in heat-resistent glass (pyrex) or in oven-
proof pottery can be placed directly on the plates if
their instructions for use are followed.
- As regards the size of the saucepans: for best results,
the plate and the saucepan should have the same
diameter. The diameter of the saucepan may be
slightly larger; a smaller diameter is not advised.
- Never leave the plates on without a saucepan! Switch
off the plate just before the end of cooking time. The
heat accumulated by the plate will finish cooking the
food and save energy.
Low 2 For the preparation of
sauces, casseroles,
puddings, fried eggs.
Moderate 3 For vegetable soups. To
thaw food, boil water or milk.
Medium 4 For potatoes, fresh
vegetables, pasta, minestrone, stocks, doughnuts, fish.
High 5 Omelettes, steak, pancakes.
Very high 6 Steak, meat in breadcrumbs,
fried food.

Cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning, disconnect the appliance.
- To ensure the long-life of the hob, we advise you to
clean it regularly. Naturally, before cleaning the plates,
allow them to cool.
- Do not acquire the bad habit of wiping over the plates
with a damp cloth whilst they are still hot. Although
they will stand up to such teatment, fragments of the
cloth could remain. The plates and their bases can,
however, be cleaned occasionally using fine
sandpaper.
- The base of the plates in special steel will stay
impeccable if cleaned with hot water and vinigar. We
advise you to grease the surface of the plates from
time to time with a non-acid fat (cooking oil, sewing
machine oil or vaseline). Products for care and
maintenance are available commercially.
- Clean the control panel with a damp cloth, do not
use abrasive products. The knobs can be removed
by lifting to facilitate cleaning.
- The enamelled part of the hob can be cleaned with
warm water and detergent.
- Although the enamel will tollerate acids, we advise
you to quickly remove splashes of vinigar, lemon and
all acid substances.
- Also immediately remove all residue of fat or other
to avoid any incrustation. If incrustations have formed
leave the crust immersed in hot water. Never use
metal brushes, knives or similar objects which could
scratch the enamel. Avoid using acid detergents.
Clean steel hobs with specific detergents.
