Using the hob top zones
o
Each zone on the ceramic hob top is controlled by a control knob.
o
To activate a zone, rotate the control knob anticlockwise to choose
a power level between 1 – 12.
o
You should select a control knob position
that is suitable for the particular cooking
that you are carrying out.
o
You should always rotate the control dial
anticlockwise to move through power
levels 1 – 12. For the double cooking
zones, this will activate the inner
section only.
o
For the double cooking zones, if you continue turning the control
dial anticlockwise, just past power level 12, to the dual zone
symbol, this will activate the outer section as well. In this position,
both dual zones are set to maximum power.
o
To control the power level of both the inner and outer sections of
the double cooking zones, turn the control dial anti-clockwise to the
required power level.
o
When you have finished cooking on a particular cooking zone, it is
important to make sure that the control knob is turned back to 0
(the off position).
