Practical hints
Hob pilot lights
The ceramic glass hob is equipped
with four pilot lights which turn on when
the surface is too hot; it is a helpful device
which protects users from burns.
This lights turn on some minutes after
the cooking zone has been set into opera-
tion, and they stay on during the whole
time of functioning and also when the
cooking zone is off to show the presence
of residual heat in the pyroceram surface.
The pilot lights turn finally off only when
the surface temperature decreases to
safety values (lukewarm temperature),
more o less 50°C, allowing users to clean
the cooking zones with no risk.
The ceramic glass hob is resistent to
sudden changes in temperature, it is
insensitive to heat and cold and hals also
a good resistence to mechanical blows;
a sharpened object, however, no matter
if it is small (for example a point of a knife)
can irreparably damage the cooking sur-
face, jeopardising its functionality.
Before using the cooking plate for the
first time, carefully wash the pyroceram
plate with a non-abrasive detergent, dry
it and then wsitch it on for about 10 mi-
nutes at the highest position.
When using the cooking plate for the
first time, unpleasant smells, or smell of
burnt material, might be smelt: this is
absolutely normal and it is due to the
evaporation of greasy working residues
and of hte dope used during the installa-
tion. These smells will vanish after some
time of working.
ATTENTION! If scratches or
cracks are noticed, disconnect
the appliance from the
electrical supply to avoid the
risk of electric shock and call
your nearest Service Force
Centre.
