To obtain the best results with your hob: Switching on the glass ceramic hob Traditional cooking zones Traditional cooking zones are made up of circular heating elements. They turn red approximately ten seconds after they have been turned on. Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob allowing you to select from 9 different temperature settings from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9. • Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere to the cooking zone perfectly. Extendable cooking zones • The lowest power level can be set by turning the knob clockwise from 1 to 9. A • Turn the knob to completely (A) until you hear a slight click, to enable the maximum power level, which in turn can be adjusted between 9 and 1 by turning the knob anticlockwise. To restore the minimum power level, turn the knob and set it back to position 0. For double cooking zones, the first part of the knob movement activates the smaller cooking zone (internal). To activate both (internal and external), it is necessary to turn the knob completely (A) and then A select the desired power level between 9 and 1. Residual heat indicator lights (only available on certain models) The extendable radiant elements (B) are recognisable by the fact that they have a double heating zone. You can turn on only the smaller internal cooking zone or both the external and internal zones. The control knob allows you to choose between two power levels, which are both adjustable between a minimum value of 1 to a maximum of 9: • Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat. • Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is always dry and clean to guarantee correct adherence and long life, not only for the cooking zones but also for the cookware itself. • Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may deform the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly. • Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware on it because as it heats up and rapidly reaches the maximum level, it could damage the heating elements. The indicator lights (C) indicate that the temperature of the corresponding cooking zones have exceeded 60°C, even after the heating element has been switched off. 21 The electronic cooking programmer GB This feature allows you to program the oven or the grill as follows: • delayed cooking time for a specified period; • immediate start for a specified period; • timer. Button Functions: H : Timer with hours and minutes; $ : cooking time; % : end cooking time; ( : Manual change; ) : set cooking time (to count down); * : set cooking time (to start from zero) How to reset the digital clock After the appliance has been connected to the power supply, or after a power cut, the clock display will automatically reset to 0:00 and begin to blink. • Press the $ and % buttons simultaneously, release, and then set the exact time (within 4 seconds) using the ) and * buttons.
