Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the required temperature. The red thermostat led lights up, switching off again when the oven reaches the selected

HOW TO USE THE HOB
The oven control panel features 4 adjustable knobs (from 0 to 6) that control hob operation.
To turn on the electric hotplates:
•
Turn the control knob of the relevant hotplate clockwise to the desired power setting (see the instructions supplied with the hob).
IMPORTANT:
• When using the hotplates for the first time, set the knobs to 6 and allow them to operate for approx. 3 minutes in order to eliminate odours,
placing a pot with an appropriate diameter and half full of water on each.
• Do not leave the hot plates turned on when they are empty.
• Use pots and pans specifically designed for electric hobs, particularly those with multiple layer flat-bottoms.
• Use pans whose bottom diameter is equal to that of the hotplates, or slightly larger.
