Description of the cooking zones
Traditional cooking zones
are made up of circular
heating elements. They turn red approximately ten
seconds after they have been turned on.
Extendable radiant cooking zones.
These operate in a similar way to traditional cooking zones,
and can be recognised for their extendable heating zone
(see Fig. C). You can turn on only the smaller inner cooking
zone or both.
l
Traditional cooking zone control knobs.
Each
cooking zone is fitted with a control knob allowing you
to select from 12 different temperature settings from a
minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12.
l
Special cooking zone control knobs.
These control
knobs allow you to choose from two different power
levels, both adjustable from a minimum setting of 1 to
a maximum setting of 12. Turn the knob clockwise from
1 to 12 to set the lower power level. Turn the knob to
the travel limit stop (
)
), which is indicated by a slight
click, to enable the maximum power level, which in turn
can be adjusted between 12 and 1 by turning the knob
anticlockwise. To restore the minimum power level,
turn the knob and set it back to the zero setting. With
glass ceramic hobs featuring extendable cooking zones
(see Fig. C), the first part of the knob travel enables
the smaller (inner) cooking zone, to enable both
cooking zones and thus have an extended cooking
zone, turn the knob to setting (
)
) and then select the
desired power level from 12 to 1.

Instructions for using the pyroceramic top
To obtain the best results from your hob, there are some
basic rules to follow when cooking or preparing food.
·
All types of pots and pans may be used on the ceramic
glass cooktop. However, the bottom surface must be
perfectly flat. Naturally, the thicker the bottom of the
pot or pan, the more uniformly the heat is distributed.
·
Make sure that the base of the pan completely covers
the cooking ring, so as to make full use of the heat
produced
·
Always make sure that the pan base is always dry and
clean so as to guarantee proper contact as well as
longer-lasting pans and the long life-span of the hob.
·
Do not use the same pans which are used for cooking
on gas burners. The heat strength of gas burners may
deform the pan base and will not give the same results
if it is subsequently used on a glazed ceramic hob.
