They turn red approximately ten seconds after they have been switched on. Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob (D) which allows you to select from 12 different temperature settings between a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12. The extendable radiant elements (B) are distinguished by the fact that they have a double heating zone. You can switch the smaller internal cooking zone on its own, or both the external and internal zones. The control knob (D) allows you to choose between two power levels, which may both be adjusted between a minimum value of 1 and a maximum of 12: • The lowest power level can be set by turning the knob clockwise from 1 to 12. • Turn the knob completely round( ), until you hear a slight click, to enable the maximum power level. This in turn can be adjusted to a value between 12 and 1 by turning the knob anticlockwise. To restore the minimum power level, turn the knob and set it back to position 0. For double cooking zones, the first part of the knob movement activates the smaller (internal) cooking zone. To activate both (internal and external), it is necessary to turn the knob completely ( ) and then select the desired power level between 12 and 1.

The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully. Practical advice on using the appliance In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob: • Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the cooking zone. • Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat. • Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both the cooking zones and the cookware. • Avoid using the same cookware which has been used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly. [. . . ] • Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance task should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold. • Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes. The appliance breaks down, contact a Service Centre. [. . . ]
