Instructions for using glass ceramic hobs
Description
The hob is fitted with electric heating elements located just
under the surface of the hob (in the areas that become red
when the elements are switched on).
A. Cooking zone (A).
B. Lights indicating that the temperature of the corresponding
elements have exceeded 60°; these remain lit even if the
hob has been switched off.
Description of the heating elements
The radiant heating elements are circular and become red
10 - 20 seconds after they have been switched on.
Instructions for using glass ceramic hobs
To obtain the best possible results from your hob, follow a
few simple rules when preparing or cooking food.
• All types of saucepan or frying pan can be used on glass
ceramic hobs. However, the base of the pan must be
perfectly flat. Of course, the thicker the base of the
saucepan or frying pan, the more evenly heat will be
distributed.
• Make sure that the base of the pan completely covers
the ring: this enables all the emitted heat to be used.
• Always make sure that the base of the pan is clean and
dry: this not only guarantees optimal contact between the
base of the pan and the hob, but also means they will
suffer less wear and tear and ultimately last longer.
• Do not use pans that have been used on gas burners, as
the heat from this type of burner can distort the base of
the pan, which, if then used on a glass ceramic hob, will
be less effective than a pan with a completely flat base.
