VITROCERAMIC HOBS

The main characteristic of this pyroce-
ram cooker top is that it permits rapid
vertical transmission of the heat from the
heating elements below to the sauce-
pans on top.
The heat does not spread horizontally,
however, and therefore the glass stays
cold only a few centimetres from the hob.
The hobs are controlled by the 7 posi-
tions switch (0÷6) (fig. 2.1) or by the con-
tinuous energy regulation switch (0÷12)
(fig. 2.2).
The heat intensity can be regulated con-
tinuously from 0 (off) to “6” or “12” (max).
Check that the hob is clean and then
switch on by turning the control knob
When the top is working, the pilot light
will be on.
When the hob temperature is above
60°C, the corresponding indicator light
will come on to indicate that the hob is
hot.
This light will stay on even after the hob
has been switched off to indicate that the
hob is still hot.
The residual heat persists for some time
after the hob has been switched off.
During this time avoid touching
the hob and take particular care if
there are children nearby.
The light will go out automatically when
the hob temperature drops below 60°C.
