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) 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.
