Using the ceramic hob top
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see
“Cleaning and maintenance” section).
o
You should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes
at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new
smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on
the heating elements during transit.
o
Do not burn off more than one zone at once.
o
You must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on
each zone as you burn it off.
Using the hob top zones
o
Each zone on the ceramic hob top is controlled by a control
knob.
o
To activate a zone, position the control knob between 1 – 9.
o
A warning neon on the control panel will light, to indicate that a
zone has been switched on.
o
Each zone has a residual heat indicator which will light when one
or more of the cooking areas go above a temperature of 60°C.
o
You should select a control knob position that is suitable for the
particular cooking that you are carrying out.
o
When you have finished cooking on a particular zone, it is
important to make sure that the control knob is turned back to 0
(the off position).
o
The warning light on the control panel will inform you if a
cooking area is turned on or off.
o
The residual heat indicator will remain lit until the temperature of
the cooking area has fallen below 60°C.
Using the dual zones on the ceramic hob
