THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATE:

the power is controlled by the position of the knob

(see table below).

The electric hotplates with a red dot in the middle

are rapid ones with automatic protection; there is an internal

thermostat in these hotplates which automatically reduces the

power when an abnormal temperature is detected (for example,

when operating empty).

THE HIGHLIGHT HOTPLATE: used with glass/ceramic products;

it has a metallic laminate which spreads the heat uniformly over

the whole area. It heats up in three seconds and allows even and

delicate cooking as well as high temperature cooking; power is

regulated by the position of the knob (see table below).

BEFORE USING THE ELECTRICAL HOT PLATE :

• Before using the electric hot plate for the first time, let it heat up

for a few minutes, without a pan, at maximum temperature to allow

the protective coating to harden.

HOW TO USE :

• For best results, it is advisable to start on the maximum heat

and then turn back to an intermediate temperature taking into

account the type and volume of the food.

• An indicator light comes on to show that the hot plate is operating.

• To switch off, turn the knob back to point "0".

DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS :

Below are a few examples which are given as guidelines. When

you become more familiar with the appliance, you will be able to

choose settings to suit your own personal tastes and requirements.

ON VETROCERAMIC HILIGHT ZONE

The residual heat indicator lights up when the hilight zone

temperature is 60° C and above. It will stay on, even if the zone

is switched off, until the surface has cooled down. It will switch off

when the temperature of the surface falls below 60° C.

GAS BURNERS

11 GB

THE ELECTRICAL HOT-PLATE

Each burner is contolled by a tap with progressive settings allowing:

* a wider choice of settings from the maximum position to the

lowest and most precise one,

* easier flame regulation according to the pan diameter,

* no risk of cutting off the flame or switching off when the

flame is turned down quickly.

• Turn on the gas tap,

• A symbol next to each control knob indicates which burner is lit.

• Turn and press in the relevant burner control knob to the “+”

( ) symbol, keeping it pressed in until the flame ignites. On

models fitted with electronic ignition the flame is ignited by an

electric spark. This is operated by the button or by pressing the

knob (for models with ignition under the knob).

For models not fitted with electronic ignition, or if there is no

electric power, light the flame with a match.

• Set the flame according to your cooking requirements. Intermediate

positions are available between the "+" ( ) and "-" ( ) settings

on the control knob.

• To turn the flame out, turn the control knob back to stop position.

• If the burner is accidentally extinguished, turn the knob to “0”,

wait one minute and then try to ignite again.

PANS

For a proper use of the burners, choose pans which match the

dimensions given below :

* Double ring Ø 18 cm and more

* Very fast Ø 18 cm and more

* Fast Ø from 16 to 18 cm

* Semi-fast Ø 12 cm

• Pans with curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not

recommended.

• Aluminium pans may leave marks on the enamelled

pan support. These marks can easily be removed with

a damp cloth and a light abrasive product.

SOME TIPS ....

• Avoid boiling food too intensely. Food is not cooked any more

quickly this way. In fact,

it is subjected to severe agitation, which may cause the food to

lose some of its flavour.

• To save gas, make sure that the flames do not overlap the bottom

of the pan.

• Do not use the gas burner with an empty pan.

SOME TIPS ....

To get the best results from your appliance it is important to

observe the following :

• Use thick, flat-based cooking vessel :

a completely flat base prevents overheating to certain parts

which causes food to stick. Thick metal allows for good heat

distribution.

• Make sure that the base of the pan is dry :

this will prevent sticking to the hot plate caused by moisture.

• Use pans with a diameter large enough to completely cover

the hot plate,

otherwise energy will be wasted and any spillages will cause the

hot plate to become stained and will become difficult to maintain

(rust, etc.).

• Never leave a hot plate switched on without a pan on it :

it can be damaged, which would reduce its efficiency.

• When cooking with fat or oil, never leave the hob unattented,

very hot fats and oils can quickly catch fire.

• When the hot plate is hot, avoid any contact with materials made

of plastic or aluminium foil.

Caution :

the heating surfaces clearly get hot while operating, so make

sure that small children are kept well away from the hob.

IGNITION

RECOMMENDATIONS : when the burners are not in service,

the general gas

supply tap should always be turned off.

NB: for models fitted with the SAFETY thermocouple, keep

the knob pressed in for a few seconds in order to activate

the safety system. If the knob is released straightaway

there is not time for the safety system to be activated and

the flame goes out. If this happens, repeat the ignition

procedure from the beginning waiting longer after the

flame is lit.

The rapid thermocouple safety device automatically cuts

off the gas supply if the flame is accidentally extinguished.

If there are particular local gas supply conditions which make

ignition difficult, you are advised to repeat the ignition procedure,

turning the knob to “minimum” ( ).
