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 switching off.
– Use saucepans with an even flat bot-
tom (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 cooktop if the surface
is broken or damaged.
If you note a crack in the cooktop,
switch the appliance off immediately
and call the After-Sales Service.
– Do not bend over the hobs when
they are on.
– Do not leave aluminium foil, grease-
proof paper or plastic etc. 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.
– Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic cooktop, but in special
pans or containers.
– Do not place saucepan lids on cook-
top surface. Extreme pressure can
build up while cooling and cause the
cooktop to crack.
COOKING HINTS:
– To speed up the cooking time, turn
the knob to maximum when you
switch the cooktop on.
Wait a short time and then set the
knob to the required cooking posi-
tion.
– Use saucepans with flat bottoms.
The bottom of the saucepan should
be the same diameter (or slightly larg-
er) as the hob to ensure optimum
energy consumption.
– As the hob stays hot for a consider-
able period of time after the cooktop
has been switched off, the hob can
be switched off a few minutes before
the end, leaving the residual heat to
complete the cooking.
