4. USE OF THE COOKING HOB

4.1 Cooking zones

The appliance features 5 cooking zones of 
different diameter and power. Their position is 
clearly indicated by circles and the heat given 
off is defined by the markings on the glass 
surface. 

The 5 cooking zones are of the HIGH-LIGHT type and come on after a 
few seconds of being activated. Heating intensity can be adjusted by 
means of the knobs located on the front panel from a minimum setting of 

1

 to a maximum setting of 

9

. 

The cooking zones marked by two concentric circles ( ) and by a circle + 
fish-kettle ( ) feature double heating either within the inner circle or both 
circles. 
 

The five signal lamps located between the cooking zones 
come on when the temperature of one or more of the heating 
zones exceeds 60°C. 

The lamps go off upon temperature dropping to below approximately 
60°C. 

When using for the first time, it is advisable to heat up the cooking hob to 
its maximum temperature for enough time so as to burn off any possible 
oily manufacturing residues, the smell of which could otherwise be 
absorbed by the food. 

For best results and energy saving, only use receptacles suitable for 
electric cooking: 

• 

The bottom of the receptacles must be very 
thick and perfectly flat; before placing on the 
cooking hob, make sure that it, as well as the 
cooking hob itself, are perfectly clean and dry. 

• 

To avoid scratching of the cooking hob, never 
use cast-iron receptacles or receptacles with a 
rough bottom.  

• 

To avoid waste of energy, make sure that the 
diameter of the receptacle bottom is the same 
as that of the circle marked on the cooking 
hob.
