7.5.1  Turning on electric elements 

Hobs may be fitted with an electric element of 
varying diameter. The electric element is controlled 
by a switch and is turned on by rotating the 
appropriate knob to the desired position. 

 

 

Raised indicators make for easier and clearer reading and use of the 
controls, each knob being connected to its corresponding electric 
element by a rib. Setting corresponds to the elongated part of the knob 
or to the marking on it. When the electric element is powered, an 
appropriate indicator light comes on in the front panel. 

 

 

7.5.2  Using the electric elements 
The electric elements are ideal for ultrarapid cooking. 
The settings shown in the table are merely indicative.
