Use of electric plates

To switch on the plate, turn the relevant knob to the
required position.
The plates are regulated by a 7 position switch:
Position 0: off
Position 1: minimum disbursement of heat
Position 6: maximum disbursement of heat

The hob is fitted with a residual heat indicator which
comes on to indicate that the cooking zone is switched
on.The indicator will remain on even after the cooking
zone is switched off, until the hob has cooled down.

Children should be kept away until this indicator
switches off.

  Position

1

Melting butter, chocolate,

2

Simmering vegetables, or fish in its own
juice, simmering potatoes or soups

3

Boiling large quantities of food, stews and
soups

4

Slow frying, making a roux

5

Fast frying of meat or fish

6

Rapid heating up of fat or water

Suggestions for the correct setting of the cooking zones
are given in the following table.

Using the plate correctly

Saucepans and frying pans (Fig.2)

- Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller

than the cooking zone, and preferably not more than
10-15 mm larger than the diameter of the cooking
zone. Always use cooking and frying utensils with
smooth, flat bottoms.

- The bottoms should always be clean and dry. Cook

with a lid in place. Check that the bases of utensils
are smooth and undamaged; bases with burrs and
sharp edges will scratch the ceramic glass surface.

- To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic cooking

surface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate
by lifting them, and not by sliding. Utensils with
aluminium and copper bases can leave behind metallic
discolorations which can only be removed with
difficulty or sometimes not at all.

 Energy consumption:

To save energy, you should:

- use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth,

flat bottoms.

- place pots and pans in position before switching on

the cooking zone.

- wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.
- switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before the

end of the cooking time, in order to make use of the
residual heat.

- use the residual heat of the cooking zones for keeping

food warm or for melting.

- position pots and pans centrally on the cooking zones.

Never use the ceramic hob as a working space.
Do not store things on the ceramic hob.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the
ceramic hob, as they could melt on the hob, thus
damaging it.
