Hob
Type of hob
The oven is combined with a hob that can
be made up of two types of heating
elements: cast-iron electric plates (see
diagram 1) or glass ceramic hobs, which
diagram 1
may be traditional (see diagram 2) or with
extendable cooking zones (see diagram 3).

Tra itional oo in 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 12 different temperature settings from a minimum of 1 to a
maximum of 12.
E tendable cooking zones
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 12:
• The lowest power level can be set by turning the knob clockwise
from 1 to 12.
• Turn the knob to completely ()) until you hear a slight click, to
enable the maximum power level, which in turn can be adjusted
between 12 and 1 by turning the knob anticlockwise. To restore
the minimum power level, turn the knob and set it back to position
0.
.or 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
()) and then select the desired power level between 12 and 1.

eliminate these with a special non-abrasive cleaning product. During
the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will
disappear very quickly.
To obtain the best results with your hob:
• Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere to the cooking
zone perfectly.
• 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.
