Electric Hot Plates (only on certain models)

The hot plates vary in diameter and power: "normal" and

"fast". The latter can be identified by a red boss in the

center of the hot plate itself.

The hot plate can be regulated by turning the

corresponding knob in the clockwise or counter-clockwise

direction to any one of the 6 different settings:

0 Off

1 Low

2-5 Medium

6 High

The section entitled, "Practical Cooking Advise", provides

information on the recommended settings for various types

of food or cooking processes.

When the knob is on any of the settings other than "Off",

the "H" operating light comes on.

Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your

appliance, disconnect it from the electrical power supply.

To extend the life of the cooktop, it is absolutely

indispensable that it be cleaned carefully and

thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in mind the

following:

• The enameled parts and the glass top, if present, must

be washed with warm water without using abrasive

powders or corrosive substances which could ruin

them;

• The removable parts of the burners should be washed

frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to

remove caked-on substances;

• On cooktops with automatic ignition, the end of the

electronic ignition device must be cleaned carefully and

frequently, making sure that the gas holes are not

clogged;

• The electric hobs should be cleaned using a damp cloth

and then rubbed with oil while still warm;

• Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact

with highly calcareous water or aggressive detergents

(containing phosphorous) for an extended period of

time. It is recommended that these parts be rinsed

thoroughly with water and then dried well. It is also a

good idea to clean up any spills.

turn. If this is the case, the must be cleaned on the inside

and the regreased.

N.B.: This procedure must be performed by a technician

authorized by the manufacturer.
