4.1
GLASS-CERAMIC WORK TOP
The work tops are equipped with two or four irradiation electricity-fed heating elements, with a two- or three-level power and
various diameters, as shown in point No. 3.
The cooking areas are clearly indicated onto the work tops thanks to circles that represent the limits of the heating area ; each
area is controlled by a handle that activates an energy regulator (please see installation diagrams).
The residual heat warning lights are easily visible onto the work top ; they switch on when the relevant area reaches 60°C and
stay lit until the temperature has not reached below that value.
4.2
INSTALLATION OF THE ELECTRICITY-FED HEATING ELEMENTS
The weaker electric elements (1.8 and 1.2 kW) are composed of one heater only and is activated by the relevant handle (see
figure 1) ; by turning it clockwise, they switch on until it reaches the maximum temperature in correspondence with point 3 ; set
the handle on 0 to switch the equipment off.
The stronger electric element (2.4 kW) is composed of two heaters that are also activated by the relevant handle ; by turning it
clockwise the inner heater turns on (1.0 kW) ; it reaches the highest temperature when it is set onto point 3 ; if you are using a
large-sized pan, you also have to install the external heater (1.4 kW) ; by turning the handle over point 3 you will hear a click
that guarantees the activation of the second heater.
If you move the handle and if you set it into all positions from 1 to 3, you will obtain the desired temperature in the cooking area.
By setting the handle to "0", both heaters will be switched off.
WARNING ! !
The more powerful cooking area is heated by two independent heaters and has been specially conceived in order to be used for
the small-sized pans and the frying pans by simply using the internal electricity-fed heater as explained earlier.
4.3
USE OF THE COOKING AREAS
- Before switching on the heater that corresponds to the desired cooking area, please make sure that the diameter of the pan that
you are using is correct ; also make sure that the bottom is perfectly flat and is quite thick (please use pans and frying pans
with multi-layer bottom) ; the most important thing is that the pan has to be perfectly dry ; now lay the pan onto the unit and
make sure you put it onto the centre of the cooking area.
- Do not drag the pans onto the glass-made work top in order to avoid any scratch.
- Even after use, the cooking areas keep the heat for a long time ; never lay your hands or any other object onto this area until
the residual heat warning light has not turned off.
- If you see a crack onto the glass surface, switch off and immediately disconnect the unit.
- Please keep all materials or substances that may melt down (such as plastics or aluminium foils) away from the cooking surface.
If, inadvertently, something has melt onto the work top, immediately hot-clean with a scraper.
- Never use the cooking surface as a support or as a work top.
