3 - USE OF COOKING HOB

The ceramic surface of the hob allows a fast transmission of heat in the vertical direction, from the heating elements underneath the ceramic glass to the pans set on it. The heat does not spread in a horizontal direction, so that the glass stays “cool” at only a few centimeters from the cooking plate.

The 5 cooking zones are shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface.

3 CIRCUIT RADIANT ZONES

Incorporating 3 heating elements (fig.

3.2) you can control and light up all 3 together or separately by selecting from the 6 positions on the control knob (fig.

3.1). The working temperature required is reached in a very short time.

DOUBLE AND OVAL RADIANT ZONES

The heating element is formed of a coil of resistant material which reaches the working temperature quickly. Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator from “1” to “12” (maximum temperature) (fig. 3.3).

By switching on the second element (fig.

3.4 and 3.5), the surface area of the rear right and central radiant zones can be extended. For this purpose, turn the control knob (fig.

3.3)fully to the right (position

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

The hob also features 5 warning lights which are connected to the corresponding plate.

When the temperature of a cooking plate is above 60°C, the relevant warning light will also light up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.

This light also stay on after the cooking plate has been switched off to show that the hob surface is still hot. This residual heat will lasts for a long time after the cooking plate has been switched off.

During this time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking area.

Please pay special attention to ensure that children are not allowed near the hob.

The light will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking plate falls below 60°C.

COOKING HINTS:

– To reduce the cooking time, you can

turn the control knob to the max when you switch the plate on. After a short time you can set the control knob to the position required for cooking.

– You should only use pots and pans

with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass-ceramic hobs are available from specialist shops). The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger) to make the most of the energy.

– Since the cooking surface will stays

hot for a certain time after the plate has been switched off, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking. The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.

– To save electricity, use pan lids

whenever possible.

– Never cook the food directly on the

glass ceramic cooktop.

Caution! the cooking hob becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.

DEEP FAT FRYING

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, do not fill the pan more than one third full of oil.

DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.

In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off the control knobs.

Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to smother the flames. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30minutes before moving the pan.

DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.

Fig. 3.8

SAFETY HINTS:

– Before you switch the hob on, make sure

you know which knob controls the required cooking plate. We advise you to set the pan over the cooking plate before switching it on. Remove the pan after you have switched the cooking plate off.

– Do not use pots and pans with rough

bases (pay attention to cookware made of cast-iron). Rough bases can damage

(scratch) the glass surface of the hob. Make sure that the pan bottom of the pan is dry and clean.

– Pots with aluminium bottoms may leave

silver streaks or spots on the hob.

– Do not leave wet or damp lids on the

hob.

– The glass-ceramic surface and pans

must be clean. Carefully remove any

food debris (especially containing

sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a cleans-

ing agent.

– Pan handles should never stand out

beyond the kitchen worktop, as there is

a great danger of knocking the pan

over.

This will also ensure that children

cannot reach them.

– Do not use the hob if the glass sur-

face is broken or cracked in any

way. Please disconnect the hob

from the mains and contact the

after-sales service.

– Do not lean over the cooking plate when

in use.

– Do not lay cooking foil or plastic materi-

als on the ceramic surface when it is

hot.

– Remember that the surface remains hot

for a long time (about 30 min.) after the

cooking plate has been switched off.

– Follow the cleaning instructions careful-

ly.

Do not use the glass surface for storage.

CLEANING

Before you begin cleaning make sure that the appliance is switched off.

Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.

Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.

If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring. Abrasive or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.

All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.

Do not put articles on the hob which can melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar, sugar syrup mixtures etc.

If any of these products items have melted on the ceramic surface, you should remove it immediately (when the surface is still hot) by using a scraper to avoid any permanent damage to the surface of the hob.

Avoid using a knife or other sharp utensils since these can damage the ceramic.

Do not use steel wool or an abrasive sponge which could scratch the surface permanently.

ATTENTION: MOST IMPORTANT! If cleaning the glass ceramic hob using a special scraper tool take extra care to avoid damaging to the seal at the edges of the glass ceramic surface.
