How to Use the Vitroceramic Hob The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direction, from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans sat on it. Important Note: The heating elements incorporate a thermolimiter that switches the element ON/OFF during use to prevent the ceramic glass from overheating.
Double and Oval Radiant Zones The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the working temperature quickly. Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator from “1” to “12” (maximum temperature) (fig. 13). To turn on both zones of the double element, turn the double element knob fully clockwise to the position . To reduce the heat of the full double element, turn its knob anticlockwise to setting 12 or lower.

Residual Heat Indicator The hob also features 5 warning lights which are connected to the corresponding plates. When the temperature of a cooking plate is above 60°C, the relevant warning light will also light up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob. This light stays on after the cooking plate has been switched off to show that the hob surface is still hot. This residual heat will last for a long time after the cooking plate has been switched off.
Safety Hints: – Before you switch the hob on, make sure you know which knob controls the required cooking plate. We advise you to set the pan over the cooking plate before switching it on. Remove the pan after you have switched the cooking plate off. – Do not use pots and pans with rough bases (pay attention to cookware made of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage (scratch) the glass surface of the hob. Make sure that the bottom of the pan is dry and clean.
