Cooking zone temperature control
A temperature sensor is situated in the middle of each cooking zone
and is in contact with the glass.
o
In the event of a cooking zone overheating, this will be noted by
the temperature sensor.
o
If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
235°C, it will reduce the power level of the cooking zone.
o
If the temperature sensor records a temperature that is above
255°C, it will shut down the cooking zone.
o
A cooking zone overheating could be caused by an empty
saucepan being placed on an active zone.
o
If the bottom of the pan is not fully in contact with the middle of
a cooking zone, then the cooking zone temperature control may
not function correctly.
Hob guidelines
o
The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
o
The hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter
and power.
o
The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked
on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on
these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the
same diameter as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
o
You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
o
Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
o
When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as
they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This
will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
o
The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bottoms.
