YOUR CERAMIC HOB

Introduction

This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. The hob is equipped with ‘Cooklight’ elements. These are very rapidheating, radiant elements with a high efficiency, which is very favourable for heating-up times. What’s more, these elements also have very good heat distribution. The ample space between the cooking zones makes cooking comfortable.

Cooking on a ceramic hob is different from cooking on a traditional appliance. Ceramic cooking makes use of heat radiation through the glass top.

For optimum safety the ceramic hob is equipped with a child lock, a cooking time limiter and a residual heat indicator, which shows which cooking zones are still hot.

This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the ceramic hob. In addition to information about operation, you will also find background information that can assist you in using this product. You will also find cooking tables and maintenance tips.

SAFETY

What you should pay attention to

• Ceramic cooking is extremely safe. Various devices have been

incorporated in the hob such as a residual heat indicator and a cooking time limiter. There are nevertheless a number of precautions you should take.

Connection and repair

• This appliance may only be connected by a qualified installer.

• Never open the casing. The casing may only be opened by an

authorized service technician.

• Disconnect the electricity from the appliance before starting

any repair work. Preferably unplug the appliance, switch the (automatic) fuse(s) off or, in the event of a permanent connection, set the switch in the power supply lead to zero.

• When the cable is damaged it may only be replaced by the

manufacturer, its service organization or equally qualified persons, to avoid dangerous situations.

During use

• WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts become hot

during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless continuously supervised.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and

above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

• WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be

dangerous and may result in fire. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.

• WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking

surfaces.

• WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to

avoid the possibility of electric shock.

EN 7

SAFETY

• This cooking appliance is designed for household use. It is to

be used for food preparation only.

• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a “new

smell”. This is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated the smell will soon disappear.

• Do not leave the hob unattended if you are using a zone on a

high setting.

• Ensure there is adequate ventilation while the hob is in use.

Keep all natural ventilation openings open.

• Do not allow pans to boil dry. The hob itself is protected

against overheating but the pan will get very hot indeed and could be damaged. The guarantee does not cover any damage caused by a pan boiling dry.

• Make sure that flexes of electrical appliances, such as a mixer,

cannot touch the hot cooking zone.

• Never flambé food under the cooker hood. The high flames

could cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.

• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not unbreakable. A

spice jar or pointed utensil falling on it, for example, could cause it to break.

• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the

hob.

• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an

external timer or separate remote-control system.

EN 8

SAFETY

Cooking time limiter

• The cooking time limiter is a safety function of your cooking

appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob.

• Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time

will be limited as follows:

Setting The cooking zone switches off

3 5 hours

4 5 hours

5 4 hours

6 1,5 hours

7 1,5 hours

8 1,5 hours

USE

Using the touch controls

The touch controls may take some getting used to if you are used to other (rotary) controls. Place the tip of your finger flat on the control to achieve the best results. You do not have to apply any pressure.

Pans

Pans for ceramic cooking

Ceramic cooking requires a particular quality of pan.

Attention

• Only use pans that are suitable for electric cooking with:

Attention

Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans:

• the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel),

if you switch the hob on at a high setting when the pan is (too) dry;

• the base of the pan may warp - due to, for example,

overheating or the use of too high a power l

▷ a thick base (minimum 2.25 mm); ▷ a flat base.

evel.

EN 10

Attention

• Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone. This

will prevent food remains ending up on the red-hot cooking zone. Burnt-on food remains are difficult to remove. In addition, the handles may become too hot and a lot of energy is lost.

• Do not use aluminium foil, such as the trays from ready-made

meals, for cooking food in. If aluminium foil melts on the cooking surface, it cannot be removed. Aluminium foil is also a very poor conductor of heat.
