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 cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface.
Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean.
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.
The temperature limiter can be seen under the glass dissecting the element. This is not a
fault with the appliance.
HI-LIGHT RADIANT ZONES (g. 2.1)
The heating element is formed of a coil of
resistant material which reaches the working
temperature quickly.
HI-LIGHT DOUBLE and HI-LIGHT

SAFETY HINTS
• Before you switch the hob on, make sure you
know which control operates the required
cooking zone. It is advisable to put the pan
on the hotplate before switching on and to
take it away after switching o.
• You should use pots and pans with at bases
(pans with the test mark for glass ceramic
hobs are available from specialist shops).
• Do not use pots and pans with rough bases
(pay attention to cookware made of cast-
iron). Rough bases can damage the glass
surface of the hob (scratches).
• Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave
silver streaks or spots on the hob.
• Always ensure that the base of your
saucepan is clean and dry before placing on
the hob.
• The diameter of the pan should match that
of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger) to
make the most of the energy.
• Do not lay cooking foil or plastic materials on
the ceramic surface when it is hot.
• Do not leave wet or damp lids on the hob.
• The glass-ceramic surface and pans must
be clean. Carefully eliminate any food
remains (especially containing sugar), dirt
etc. with the aid of a cleansing agent.
• Pan handles should never stand out beyond
the kitchen worktop, as there is a great
danger of knocking the pan over. This will
also ensure that children cannot reach them.
• Do not use the hob if the glass surface
is broken or cracked in any way. Please
disconnect the hob from the mains and
contact the After-Sales Service.
• Do not lean over the cooking plate when in
use.
• Remember that the surface remains hot for
a long time (about 30 min.) after the cooking
plate has been switched o.
• Since the cooking surface stays hot for
a certain time after the plate has been
switched o, you can switch it o 5 or 10
minutes before the end of the cooking. The
residual heat of the hob will complete the
cooking.
• To save electricity, use pan lids whenever
possible.
• Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
• Never use the glass surface for storage.
