VITROCERAMIC HOB  
The main characteristic of this pyroceram cooker top is that it permits rapid vertical trans-  
mission of the heat from the heating elements below to the saucepans on top.

The heat does not spread horizontally, however, and therefore the glass stays cold only a few  
centimetres from the hob.

The hobs are controlled by the continuous energy regulation switch (0÷12) (fig. 2.1).  
The heat intensity can be regulated continuously from “OFF” to “12” (max).

VERY IMPORTANT: TO SWITCH ON, ALWAYS LIGHTLY PRESS THE CONTROL KNOB  
THEN TURN IT.

OFF  
Check that the hob is clean and then switch on by press and turning the control knob.  
When the top is working, the pilot light will be on.  
When the hob temperature is above 60°C, the corresponding indicator light will come on to  
indicate that the hob is hot.  
Fig. 2.1  
This light will stay on even after the hob has been switched off to indicate that the hob is still  
hot.  
The residual heat persists for some time after the hob has been switched off.  
During this time avoid touching the hob and take particular care if there  
are children nearby.  
The light will go out automatically when the hob temperature drops below 60°C.  
TYPES OF COOKING AREA  
RADIANT ZONES (Fig. 2.2a- 2.2b)  
The heating element consists of electrical resistances which can operate together or  
separately according to the setting of the energy regulator 0-12.  
It reaches the required temperature very quickly.

HINTS FOR SAFE USE OF THE HOBS  
– Before switching on, check which knob controls the required hob. You are advised  
to place the saucepan on the hob before switching on and to take it off after switch-  
ing off.  
To switch on, always lightly press the control knob then turn it.  
– Use saucepans with an even flat bottom (be careful of cast iron saucepans). Uneven  
bottoms can scratch the pyroceram surface. Check that the bottom is clean and dry.  
– Check that the saucepan handle does not protrude from the top to avoid knocking it  
over. This precaution also makes it more difficult for children to reach the saucepan.  
– Do not use the top if the surface is broken or damaged.  
– Do not bend over the hobs when they are on.  
Fig. 2.4  
– Do not leave aluminium foil, greaseproof paper etc. or plastic on the hob when it is  
hot.  
– Remember that the hobs stay hot for quite a long time (approx. 30 min.) after they  
have been switched off.  
– Scrupulously follow the cleaning instructions.  
– Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on the glass ceramic cooktop.  
– If you note a crack in the cooktop, switch the appliance off immediately and call  
the After-Sales Service.  
– If the cooktop has halogen lamps, do not stare at them.  
– Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special pans or  
containers.

cleaning and maintenance  
GENERAL RECOMANDATION  
Before you begin cleaning you must ensure that the hob is switched off.  
It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold and especially when cleaning  
the enamelled parts.  
Do not use steam jet cleaners  
because the humidity could  
infiltrate into the appliance making  
it dangerous.  
All enamelled surfaces have to be washed with soapy water or some other non-  
abrasive product with a sponge and are to be dried preferably with a soft cloth.  
Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar etc.) on the surfaces.  
Do not scratch the cooktop with  
cutting or sharp objects.  
Do not use the cooktop as a  
work surface.  
ENAMELLED PARTS  
All the enamelled parts must be cleaned with a sponge and soapy water only or other  
non-abrasive products.  
Dry preferably with a chamois leather.  
STAINLESS STEEL PARTS  
Stainless steel parts must be rinsed with water and dried with a soft and clean  
cloth or with a chamois leather.  
For difficult dirt, use a specific non-abrasive product available commercially or a  
little hot vinegar.  
CONTROL KNOBS  
The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken not to  
damage the seal.  
VITROCERAMIC SURFACE  
Before cleaning the top, make sure that it is switched off.  
Remove any encrustation using a special scraper which can be bought (fig. 3.1).  
Remove dust using a damp cloth.  
Detergents can be used as long as they are not abrasive or corrosive.  
All residues of detergent must be eliminated with a damp cloth.  
Keep all objects that could be melted by the heat away from the top: plastic objects,  
aluminium foil, sugar or sugary products.  
If an object melts on the top, remove immediately (while the top is still hot) using a  
special scraper to avoid permanent damage to the pyroceram surface.  
Avoid using knives and pointed objects as they could damage the surface of the top.  
Also avoid using abrasive sponges or wire wool which can permanently scratch the  
pyroceram surface.  
Fig. 3.1  
ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT!  
If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using a special scraper tool take extra care to avoid  
damaging to the seal at the edges of the glass ceramic surface.
