The Intelligent Power Saving Device controls the power
supply to the left hand four hob areas. It divides them into
two groups.
If you use left hand hob units try to use the front or rear
two areas as these are in different groups.
Try to avoid using two left hand hob units that are on a di-
agonal as these are in the same group.
There is an indicator light for the Intelligent Power Saving
Device at the centre back of the hob top. Normally it will
not be visible but if the light starts to flash it means the de-
vice is operating. When this happens cooking on the hob
may be slowed - try using a different combination of hob
cooking areas.
The Intelligent Power Saving Device also groups the two
ovens. To minimise any effect on oven cooking, preheat
the oven before use, particularly for baking. Always check
that meat and poultry are fully cooked especially when
cooking using the timer.
The Hob
When you cook on a ceramic hob its
very
important to use the right sort of pans...
Use only pans that are suitable for ceramic hobs.
We recommend stainless steel and enamelled steel
pans because pots and pans with copper or alu-
minium bases leave traces on the hob that are difficult
to remove.
Glass-ceramic cookware is not suitable because of its
poor conductivity.
Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, flat bottoms.
This ensures that there is the maximum heat transfer from
the hob to the pan, making cooking quick and energy effi-
cient.
Never use a round bottomed Wok even with a stand.
The very best pans have bases that are very slightly
curved in when cold. If you hold a ruler across the bottom
you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up
the metal expands and lies flat on the cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to pre-
vent any residue burning onto the hob panel. This also
helps prevent scratches and deposits (such as lime
specks).
Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly
larger than) the areas marked on the hob top. Using
smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be burnt
on. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
Always lift pans off the hob. Sliding pans may cause
marks and scratches. Always turn the control to the off po-
sition before removing a pan.
There are indicator lights for each of the cooking areas.
These come on when a hob control is turned on and stay
lit while the surface cools. Always take care before touch-
ing the surface even when it is turned off - it may be hotter
than you think.
