Using the Ceramic Hob
EN EN
WARNING: IF THE SURFACE IS CRACKED,
SWITCH OFF THE APPLIANCE TO AVOID THE
POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FOR HOB
SURFACES OF GLASS-CERAMIC OR SIMILAR
MATERIAL WHICH PROTECT LIVE PARTS.
The Working of the Heating Zones
Heating only occurs within the marked circular
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive
foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal
limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several
minutes at full power without a pan on the heating
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating
elements off and on automatically to avoid any
damage to the ceramic glass.
The HOT HOB indicator light:
This indicates that the temperature of the
corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C,
even when the heating element has been switched
off but is still hot.
Choice of saucepan's
It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the
ceramic hob are suitable.
ALWAYS USE:
•
Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy
bases.
•
saucepan's manufactured from aluminium
(enamelled or machined) or stainless steel.
•
Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan
must cover the heating zone completely.
•
saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to
reduce cooking time and energy use.
NEVER USE:
•
Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as
these will extend cooking times, waste electricity
and cause damaging, local hotspots on the
glass surface.
•
Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
•
Pans with damaged or rough bases which could
scratch the glass surface.
•
Glass or glass ceramic utensils.
