Using the hob
The knobs have 3 main heat settings, from "1" (minimum) to "3"
(maximum), but they can also be set in every intermediate
position, to adjust to personal needs.
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to the desired heat setting.
Place a saucepans on the cooking zone before switching it on.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an
empty pan on them. Avoid leaving an hot saucepan on a cold
plate, or leaving a hot saucepan to cool down on a switched off
plate. This could cause condensation and damage the plate.

Using the Hob
Boiling
To parboil, select setting 3 and turn back to 1 for boiling; use
higher or lower setting as required.
Frying
Heat the fat up on setting 3, then insert food to be fried and turn
back to 2; use higher or lower setting as required.
Cookware
Utensils with an even bottom should be used in any case, best
if made of heatproof ceramic.
Uneven pots and pans do not allow heat to be spread evenly
throughout food, causing cooking times to be delayed and the
hob to be damaged.
Use utensils of a size matching the hotplates, or slightly larger,
and place them exactly on the hotplates.
Avoid using wet saucepans, or leaving wet saucepan covers on
the cold hotplates, because condensation can damage the
plate.
26
Cookware to be used on the hotplates should have strong,
trued bottom with triple layer, in order to ensure the best heat
absorption cooking results. Covered pans allow you to save
time and energy.
Glass pots, cast iron steak pans, such as copper or aluminium
pans are not recommended, because they often leave
reasidues which can damage the the hotplates.
Never use plastic cookware in any case!
Wrong Wrong Right
Cleaning and Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you
must DISCONNECT the hob from the electricity supply and
allow it to cool down.
Wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm
water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid
the use of household detergent and bleaches, impregnated
pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans, steel wool pads or
bath/sink stain removers.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung
out in warm water to which a little wasing up liquid has been
added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended
that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers
Friend is used.
The control knobs may be removed by carefully pulling them
upward for easier cleaning.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm
water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep the
plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased
from most hardware stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare
Products (follow the manufacturer's instruction for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a kitchen
towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the plate will
smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when
next used.
