How to use the hob
General information about cooking
Never fill the pan with oil more than
one third of it. Do not leave the hob
unattended when heating oil.
Overheated oils bring risk of fire.
Never
attempt to extinguish a possible fire
with water!
When oil catches fire,
cover it with a fire blanket or damp
cloth. Turn off the hob if it is safe to do
so and call the fire department.
•
Before frying foods, always dry them well and
gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete
thawing of frozen foods before frying.
•
Do not cover the vessel you use when heating oil.
•
Place the pans and saucepans in a manner so
that their handles are not over the hob to prevent
heating of the handles. Do not place unbalanced
and easily tilting vessels on the hob.
•
Do not place empty vessels and saucepans on
cooking zones that are switched on. They might
get damaged.
•
Operating a cooking zone without a vessel or
saucepan on it will cause damage to the product.
Turn off the cooking zones after the cooking is
complete.
•
As the surface of the product can be hot, do not
put plastic and aluminum vessels on it.
Clean any melted such materials on the surface
immediately.
Such vessels should not be used to keep foods
either.
•
Use flat bottomed saucepans or vessels only.
•
Put appropriate amount of food in saucepans
and pans. Thus, you will not have to make any
unnecessary cleaning by preventing the dishes
from overflowing.
Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on
cooking zones.
Place the saucepans in a manner so that they
are centered on the cooking zone. When you
want to move the saucepan onto another cooking
zone, lift and place it onto the cooking zone you
want instead of sliding it.
Saucepan selection
•
Glass ceramic surface is heatproof and is not
affected by big temperature differences.
•
Do not use the glass ceramic surface as a place
of storage or as a cutting board.
•
Use only the saucepans and pans with machined
bottoms. Sharp edges create scratches on the
surface.
Spills may damage the
glass ceramic surface
and cause fire.
Do not use vessels with
concave or convex
bottoms.
Use only the saucepans
and pans with flat
bottoms. They ensure
easier heat transfer.
For induction hobs, use only vessels suitable for
induction cooking.
Saucepan test
Use following methods to test whether your saucepan
is compatible with the induction hob or not.
1.
Your saucepan is compatible if its bottom holds
magnet.
2.
Your saucepan is compatible if " " does not
flash when you place your saucepan on cooking
zone and start the hob.
You can use steel, teflon or aluminium saucepans with
special magnetic bottom that contains labels or
warnings indicating that the saucepan is compatible
with induction cooking. Glass and ceramic vessels,
pots and the stainless steel vessels with non-magnetic
aluminium bottom should not be used.
Pan detection-focusing system
In induction cooking, energy is generated only in the
area where the base of the pan on the respective
cooking zone covers. The base of the pan is detected
by the induction system and only this area is
automatically heated. If the pan is removed from the
cooking zone during cooking, the cooking process will
be stopped." " symbol flashes.(For some hob models,
the selected cooking zone level and " " flash
respectively.
