How to use the vitroceramic hob
The ceramic surface of the hob allows a
fast transmission of heat in the vertical
direction, from the heating elements
underneath the ceramic glass to the pans
sat on it.
The heat does not spread in the horizontal
direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at
only a few centimeters from the cooking
plate.
The 4 cooking plates are shown by dark
disks on the ceramic surface.
3 circuits hotplate
Incorporating 3 heating elements you can
control and light up all together or sepa-
rately by a 6 position switch.
Reaches the working temperature in a very
short time.

Cooking hints
– To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you switch
the plate on.
After a short time you set the control knob to the required position for the cooking.
– You should use pots and pans with flat bases.
The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger) to
make the most of the energy.
– Since the cooking surface stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been switched off,
you can switch it off minutes before the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will terminate the cooking.
– To save electricity, use lids whenever possible.
