INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE ELECTRIC PLATE
The vitreous ceramic electric plate (5) is controlled by a knob (as above energy regulator). A pilot light
comes on as soon as the heating element is activated. The control knob is graded from 0 to 12. Position 0
indicates that the corresponding cooking area is switched off. Position 1 indicated that the corresponding
cooking area is at the minimum power, while position 12 indicates that the cooking area is at maximum
power.
The energy regulator controls the cooking area with two circuits (5). When the knob is turned clockwise
from position (off) to the desired position (1-12), the primary part of the cooking area is switched on. To
switch on the secondary part, turn the knob to position 12 and then turn it past position 12 as far as it will
go in a clockwise direction. At this point the secondary circuit switches on and it is possible to vary
the power from 1 to 12 (1 = minimum, 12 = maximum).
RESIDUAL HEAT WARNING LIGHTS
There is a residual heat warning light (Q) on vitreous ceramic hob. Its purpose is to increase the safety
of the appliance because when it is lit it indicates that the cooking area is still very hot. The residual
heat warning light stays lit even after the cooking area has been switched off to warn you that it is still
hot.
Important: The ceramic hob cooking surface remains hot for a long time after use. Do not touch the
hob with your hands or let children near it. The residual heat indicator will remain lit until the hob has
cooled down. If any cracks appear in the ceramic hot, disconnect the appliance immediately from the
mains and call an authorized technical service centre.
ELECTRIC HOTPLATE
For efficient use and low energy consumption, it is advised to use pans specifically designed for electric
cooking on ceramic hobs. The bottom of the pan must be thick and flat. Its diameter must be as similar as
possible to that of the cooking ring. The surface of the hob and the bottom of the pan must be kept clean.
A – Do not leave the hotplate switched on without a pan
B – Do not wet or overheat the plates
C – Avoid sudden changes of temperature on the ceramic hob. For example, do not pour cold water onto
the hot hob.
D – Ensure that the pan covers the whole cooking area.
E – The bottom of the pan must be flat and dry so as to use less energy and keep your ceramic hob in
good condition.
F – Do not leave the pan handles sticking out as they could be knocked over accidentally.
G – Do not forget that the cooking area remains hot for quite a long time even after it has been switched
off. Make intelligent use of this characteristic by switching off the cooking area a few minutes before
completing cooking. The residual heat that has been accumulated in the ceramic will thus enable you
to complete cooking without using more electric power.
H – It is preferable not to cook on the ceramic hob with pans that have been used on gas burners. The
flames may of deformed the bottom of the pans. Do not use aluminium pans on your ceramic cook
top as this metal is very soft and can damage and/or permanently stain your cook top.

CLEANING THE CERMAIC HOB
The flat surface of the ceramic hob makes it considerably easier to clean than traditional hobs. Clean the
hob in the same way as any glass surface in your home. Never use abrasive products. Routine cleaning
must be carried out when the hob is cold. Caution: take care not to drop substances containing sugar on
the hob during operation. If this should happen, immediately turn off the respective heating element and
clean with warm soapy water before the glass cools. When performing this special cleaning, take
particular care not to burn yourself.
We recommend cleaning the cooking top once it has cooled down. The stainless steel and painted parts
must be cleaned with lukewarm water and anti-corrosive liquid detergents. Dry the parts with a soft cloth.
Never use steel wools or abrasive detergents. To keep the surface clean, we recommend Hillmark
Cerapol or Ceraseal alternatively, detergents or similar products. The instrument panel and all the
aluminium parts must be cleaned only with alcohol or de greasing products.
Never use lemon on
MATT / GRAPHITE.
