Traditional cooking zones
Traditional cooking zones (A) consist of circular heating
elements. 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.
Extendable cooking zones*
The extendable radiant elements (B and F) are distinguished
by the fact that they have a double heating zone. You can
switch the smaller internal cooking zone on separately, or both
the external and internal zones together.
Circular extendable cooking 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.
Oval extendable cooking zones*
• Use the knob (D) to set the desired power level, to a value
between 1 (minimum) and 12 (maximum).
• Set the knob (G) to the symbols:
a. if you wish to use only the smaller internal cooking
zone.
b. if you wish to use the circular cooking zone.
c. if you wish to use the entire oval cooking zone.
