  The cookers are equipped with hobs of different diameters. These are controlled by a switch and are

turned on by turning the knob to the desired position. On the front panel above each knob a small
drawing shows which hob corresponds to each knob. A yellow warning light lights up when the hob is
switched on.

 

 

 

 

  The rapid hobs offer the advantage of ultra-rapid cooking. Purely as an example the regulation table

for the hobs is shown below.

WARNING 
When switching on the hob for the first time, or if the hob has not been used for a 
long time, to remove any humidity from the insulating material it should be dried 
out by placing the hob on position 1 for 30 minutes. 
To use correctly remember to: 

•  Switch the hob only after having placed the pan on it. 

•  Use flat and thick bottomed pans. 

•  Never use pans which are smaller than the hob. 

•  Dry the bottom of the pan before placing it on the hob. 

•  After use, to make sure that the surfaces are clean and long lasting, the 

electric hob must be treated with specific cleaning products which are 
available on the market. This necessary operation prevents oxidisation (rust 
formation). 

•  When cooking with flammable oils and fats, never leave the appliance. 

•  The hobs will stay hot for a long time after use: do not touch them or place 

any objects on them. 

•  Before switching on the electric hobs, lift up the glass cover on the cooker; 

before closing it, switch off the hobs and wait for them to cool down. 

•  If any dents appear in the hob surface, switch it off immediately and contact 

the nearest authorised servicing centre.
