The hob becomes hot
The ceramic hob will reach a temperature of 80˚C. It may, however, become even hotter if you use cooking utensils with uneven bases or which does not match the size of the cooking zone.
The fuses keep blowing
Too many electrical appliances may be in use at the same time. If the hob is connected to a 10 Amp fuse group, the risk of overloading will be considerable.
The cooking zones do not heat sufficiently
The cooking utensils must match the size of the cooking zone. Check that the cooking utensils have level bases by holding them against the edge of the work top, for example. Bring a litre of water to the boil in a saucepan with a lid. The cooking zone should be adjusted to the highest setting. The boiling time on the 12 cm cooking zone is approx. 25 min. The boiling time on the 14 cm cooking zone is approx. 13 min. The boiling time on the 18 cm cooking zone is approx. 10 min.

It is better to use two pans rather than overfill one, or use half quantities.
3. What to use
Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before using.
Pilot light
Pilot light is activated when either of the zones are turned on, and will remain on until the cooking zones are
switched off.
4. Types of sugar
Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally good flavour.
5. Crystallization
Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not completely dissolved before bringing the jam to the boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting properties and colour of the jam.
6. To test jam for setting.
If a jam thermometer is available, boil the jam to 140˚C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106˚C. If no thermometer is available, remove the pan from the heat, place a sample of jam on a cold dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen food compartment of a refrigerator). When cold, and if it is ready, it should crinkle and hold the mark of a finger run through it.
Residual-Heat indicator
Each plate has a residual heat indicator which remains on as long as the temperature of the cooking zone exceeds 80˚C, even if the cooking zone is switched off.

Advice and hints for using the cooking zones
If you use the advice below you will save energy and make your cleaning tasks easier.
Adjust the cooking zones correctly.
for the cooking zones until the food is brought to the boil. Then reduce the setting as far as possible, without the food going off the boil.
Use level saucepans. An uneven saucepan may increase the electricity consumption by up to 50 per cent. Check whether your saucepans have level bases by placing the item in question upside down on a work top and positioning a ruler on the base. A curved base, both inwards and outwards, will prolong the cooking time and increase the energy consumption
The saucepan should match the cooking zone – or be slightly larger. Remember that a large saucepan can also hold small quantities. If the diameter of the base is too small, the energy consumption will increase, and any food boiling
Select the highest setting
over will burn onto the hot cooking zone.
Saucepans with very shiny/bright bases will prolong the cooking time slightly compared with cooking utensils with matt/dark bases.
Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan. Without a lid you use more than three times as much electricity.
Deep fat frying
For safety purposes, when deep fat frying, fill the pan 1/3 full of oil. Do
not cover the pan with a lid and do not leave the pan unattended.
In the event of a fire, switch off at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames. Do not use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
Do not leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently switched on.
1. Preparing the food
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and bread crumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with batter coated foods as they will stick.
2. Quantity of oil
For safety purposes, fill the pan only 1/3 full of oil.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small cube of bread into oil which should brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the correct temperature, or 190˚C.
4. Cooking the food
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add too much food at once or the temperature of the oil will be reduced and may result in soggy, greasy food. Turn the food if necessary, doughnuts float to the surface so they will not brown on the upper side if not turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent paper.
5. Frying temperatures

Preserving
1. Pan size
Do not use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of the hob trim.
2. Filling the pan
To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be no more than 1/3 full when all the ingredients have been added.

Check whether your cooking utensils has level bases by placing the item in question upside down on a work top and positioning a ruler on the base. A curved base, both inwards and outwards, will prolong the cooking time and increase the energy consumption. If the diameter of the base is too small, the energy consumption will increase, and any food boiling over will burn onto the hot cooking zone. Cooking utensils with very shiny/bright bases will prolong the cooking time slightly compared with cooking utensils with matt/dark bases.

Maintenance and cleaning
Electrical installation
For reasons of hygiene and safety, the cooking zones must be kept clean. Grease stains and spilled food generate smoke when heated, and can even cause fire.
Stainless steel surfaces
Clean the appliance after use with a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water, use a small amount of liquid detergent for stubborn soiling. Stainless steel parts may become straw coloured with use, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration.
Never use metal wool, metal sponges or other abrasive cleaning agents.
The ceramic glass hob
Immediately scrape off stains caused by food which has boiled over using the scraper supplied with the hob, spilled sugar, dishes containing sugar (jam, juice, etc.), melted plastic and aluminium foil while the ceramic hob is still hot. If the ceramic hob is allowed to cool it may become damaged. A dirty ceramic hob decreases the heat transfer between cooking zones and cookware.
After use the cooking zones should be wiped with a damp cloth with washing up liquid. For severe soiling you can follow these steps:
1. Remove stains etc., with the ceramic hob scraper.
2. Make sure that the ceramic hob has cooled down. Use a ceramic cleaning agent, such as vitroclen.
3. Wipe the ceramic hob clean with a damp cloth or kitchen roll. Tough stains can be removed by rubbing the stain hard with kitchen roll.
4. Wipe off remaining cleaning agent with a damp cloth.
5. Wipe with a dry cloth, if required.
Make sure that the ceramic hob is dry when you heat it up again. Ceramic hobs can develop rainbow-like stripes if heated while damp.
The electrical connection may only be performed by a qualified electrician/ competent person. The electrical connection must be carried out in accordance with prevailing regulations for appliances using heavy current. The connection must comply with any specific requirements specified by the local electricity supply authority.
There must be no interference with any of the unit’s electrical parts.
The cable is mounted in the pegs as shown. Unscrew the cover while connecting the cables. A unit led directly to the power point or the outlet rose. More units may be connected via one or more junction boxes. The cable must be connected via an external switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm in each pole.
Please observe these instructions, otherwise the warranty will not cover any damage that may occur.

Do not slide saucepans across the surface of the hob - always lift the pan when placing it on, or removing it from the ceramic surface.
Wipe the bottom surface of the pots and pans with a clean dry cloth before placing them on the ceramic surface. This helps to reduce cleaning and prevents scratching the hob glass.
Wipe off spills whilst the hob is warm.
Select the highest setting for the cooking zones until the food is brought to the boil, then reduce the setting.
Use saucepans with an even base. An uneven based saucepan may increase the electricity consumption by up to 50%.
The saucepan should match the cooking zone or be slightly larger.
Installation of a single unit
When mounting a single unit, be it a half-or full size unit, in a worktopsurface which is thicker than 30 mm, it is necessary to make a special notch in both sides of the cut­out hole, as shown in the adjacent drawing. The purpose of these notches is to create space for the electrical cables.
Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan to reduce electricity consumption.

Mounting
The decorative pattern on the ceramic surface can become scratched and marred with use, depending upon maintenance, but does not adversely affect performance.
Such blemishes are not covered by the warranty and do not affect the operation of the hob.
Spills and melts must be removed immediately, while the surface is still warm, using the scraper supplied with the unit. Especially damaging are melted plastic, aluminum, or any foodstuff containing sugar, including natural sugar, as these can create permanent pockmarks and craters on the ceramic surface. After scraping polish thoroughly with the cleaning agent supplied with the unit. Utensils which have been in contact with the above-mentioned melted materials must be cleaned throughly before used again on the ceramic-top hob unit.
Defects in the ceramic surface which can be related to the above are not covered by the warranty.
