USER’S MANUAL
Ceramic hobs are a recent development in cooking technique. The principle is relatively simple and
involves placing a heat source, generally an electric element, underneath a glass-ceramic surface,
that is capable of withstanding high temperatures.
The heating element transmits heat in infrared form through the glass and delivers it to utensils
placed on the hotplate. The area that is not affected by the radiation therefore remains cold.
Radiant hotplates provide very fast temperature increases and controllability because of their low
thermal inertia. This feature is useful for all dishes that require rapid variation in the rate of heating.
The atness of ceramic hobs ensures good stability and prevents any risk of tipping over. They are
also particularly easy to maintain.
Description
The vitroceramic cooktop version comprises a 6 mm thick vitroceramic plate equipped, according to
the model, with the following:
- a 2100 Watt, single-circuit hotplate Ø 210 .
- a 1000/2100 Watt, double-circuit hotplate Ø 140/210 .
- a 1400/2200 Watt, double-circuit oval hotplate 170 x 264 .
The single plate is controlled by a 6-position selector switch. The dual plate has an inner 1400 W
circuit controlled by a power control and an external 700 W circuit controlled by an additional selector
switch.
The double-circuit hob comprises a 1,100 W internal circuit controlled by a heating power controller
and an external 1,000 W circuit controlled by an additional selector switch.
The oval hob comprises a forward 1,400 W circuit controlled by a heating power controller and a rear
800 W circuit. Activating the additional selector switch brings the total power of this hob to 2,200 W.
N.B : All the hobs are equipped with an after-heat warning light. The warning lights (1) come on
several seconds after the appropriate hob has been switched on and go out when the heat of the hob
drops below approximately 70°C, i.e. a temperature that presents no danger to the user.
A cooling fan is fitted under the cooktop. The fan comes into operation as soon as one of the
ovens is switched on (as soon as the oven is switched on).
Use
Select the control knob for the chosen hotplate, the adjacent indicator lamp is lit.
