4.1 Hob controls
Ceramic Heater
The ceramic heater is controlled by a 6
position knob.
The ceramic heater is operated by turning
the control knob to the required setting.
Near each control knob is a symbol which
indicates the heater that is controlled by
that knob. The on/off light on the control
panel will show if any of the ceramic
heaters are in use.

Important:
The knob rotation
direction may differ according to the
product specification.
Dual and Oval Heaters (if available)
Dual and oval heaters have two heating
zones. To activate the outer zone of a dual/
oval heater, turn the knob to position.
Both outer zones will switch on.
To deactivate the outer zone of a dual/oval
heater, turn the knob to the ‘Off’ position.
Both outer zones will switch off.
Residual Heat Indicator (if available)
After using the hob there will be heat stored
in the vitroceramic glass called residual
heat. If the residual heat level is greater
than +60°C, the residual heat indicator will
be active for the cooking zone which is
above this temperature.
If the power supply to the hob is
disconnected while the residual heat
indicator is on, the warning light will flash
when the power is reconnected. The
display will flash until the residual heat has
decreased or until one of the cooking zones
is activated.
Hints and Tips
Important:
When ceramic heaters are
operated in higher heat settings, the
heated areas may be seen switching
on and off. This is due to a safety device
which prevents the glass from overheating.
This is normal at high temperatures,
causing no damage to the hob and little
delay in cooking times.
WARNING:
•
Never operate the hob without
pans on the cooking zone.
• Use only flat saucepans with a
sufficiently thick base.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry
before placing it on the hob.
• While the cooking zone is in operation,
it is important to ensure that the pan is
centred correctly above the zone.
• In order to conserve energy, never use
a pan with a different diameter to the
hotplate being used.

• Do not use pans with rough bottoms
since these can scratch the glass
ceramic surface.
• If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
• The temperature of accessible parts
may become high while the appliance
is operating. Keep children and animals
