Using the glass ceramic hob
! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of
grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we
recommend you remove these with a special non-
abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours
of use there may be a smell of rubber which will
disappear very quickly.
Switching the cooking zones on and off
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the corresponding
knob in a clockwise direction.
To switch it off again, turn the knob in an anticlockwise
direction until it is in the “0” position.
If the COOKING ZONE ON indicator light is lit, this
shows that at least one pf the cooking zones on the
hob is switched on.
Cooking zones (KN6C76)
The hob is equipped with electric heating elements.
When they are in use the following items on the hob
become red.
A. The cooking zone
with radiant heating elements.
B. The residual heat indicator
light: this indicates that
the temperature of the
corresponding cooking zone is
greater than 60°C, even when
the heating element has been switched off but is still
hot.
Description of the heating elements
The circular radiant heating elements become red 10 -
20 seconds after they have been switched on.
The circular radiant heating elements guarantee even
heat distribution in addition to the usual advantages
that radiant heating elements bring.
Radiant elements emit high levels of heat and light as
soon as they are switched on, offering the following
practical advantages:
· rapid heating (in relation to a gas burner)
· rapid cooling
· even temperature across the whole surface (due to
the circular heating elements)
Cooking zones (KN6C72)
The hob is provided with 2 conventional radiant heating
zones and 2 halogen heating with extendable cooking
zones. These heaters are incorporated under the
surface of the hob as zones which redden while they
are in use:
A. Radiant heating zones
B. Extendable radiant cooking
zones
C. Lights which indicate whether
the corresponding heaters are at
a temperature in excess of 60°
C; even if the hob/zone has been
switched off.
Description of the cooking zones
Traditional cooking zones are made up of circular
heating elements. They turn red approximately ten
seconds after they have been turned on.
Extendable radiant cooking zones.
These operate in a similar way to traditional cooking
zones, and can be recognised for their extendable
heating zone (see Fig. C). You can turn on only the
smaller inner cooking zone or both.
  Traditional cooking zone control knobs. Each
cooking zone is fitted with a control knob allowing
you to select from 12 different temperature settings
from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 12.
 
Special cooking zone control knobs. These control
knobs allow you to choose from two different power
levels, both adjustable from a minimum setting of 1
to a maximum setting of 12. Turn the knob clockwise
from 1 to 12 to set the lower power level. Turn the
knob to the travel limit stop (), which is indicated
by a slight click, to enable the maximum power
level, which in turn can be adjusted between 12
and 1 by turning the knob anticlockwise. To restore
the minimum power level, turn the knob and set it
back to the zero setting. With glass ceramic hobs
featuring extendable cooking zones (see Fig. C),
the first part of the knob travel enables the smaller
(inner) cooking zone, to enable both cooking zones
and thus have an extended cooking zone, turn the
knob to setting () and then select the desired
power level from 12 to 1.
