Using the glass ceramic hob
! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of
grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we
recommend you remove these with a special non-
abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours
of use there may be a smell of rubber which will
disappear very quickly.
The hotplate indicator Light

The cook-top electric plate control knobs
The cookers may be equipped with standard, fast
and automatic electric plates in various
combinations (the fast plates distinguished from the
others by a red dot in the centre, the automatic ones
by a round aluminium disk at the centre.
To avoid heat dispersion and damage to the plates,
recommend using cooking vessels with flat bottoms
in diameters which are not smaller than the plate
diameter.
Table shows the correspondence between the
position indicated on the knobs and the use for
which the plates advised.

• Avoid using the same cookware that is used on
gas burners: the heat concentration on gas
burners may have warped the base of the pan,
causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
• Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a
pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone
to become damaged.
Practical advice on using the hob
• Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that
they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter that is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use
all the heat produced.
• Always make sure that the base of the pan is
completely clean and dry: this ensures that the
pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and
that both the pans and the hob last for a longer
period of time.
