Hob
guidelines
The
first
few
times
the
hob
top
is
used,
it
may
give
off
an
acrid,
burning
smell.
This
smell
will
disappear
completely
with
repeated
use.
The
hob
surface
is
fitted
with
cooking
areas
of
different
diameter
and
power.
You
should
not
use
saucepans
with
rough
bottoms,
as
this
can
scratch
the
solid
plates.
Before
use,
make
sure
that
the
bottoms
of
the
saucepans
are
clean
and
dry.
When
cold,
the
bottom
of
the
pans
should
be
slightly
concave,
as
they
expand
when
hot
and
lie
flat
on
the
surface
of
the
hob.
This
will
allow
the
heat
to
transfer
more
easily.
The
best
thickness
for
the
bottom
of
the
pans
is
2
–
3
mm
of
enameled
steel
and
4
–
6
mm
for
stainless
steel
with
sandwich
type
bottoms.
If
these
rules
are
not
followed,
then
there
will
be
a
great
loss
of
heat
and
energy.
Heat
not
absorbed
by
the
saucepan,
will
spread
to
the
hob,
frame
and
surrounding
cabinets.
Preferably
cover
pans
with
a
lid
to
permit
cooking
at
a
lower
heat
setting.
Always
cook
vegetables
and
potatoes,
etc.
in
as
little
water
to
reduce
cooking
times.
CLEANING
&
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
and
maintenance
operations
must
only
be
carried
out
when
the
cooktops
is
cool.
The
appliance
should
be
disconnected
from
your
mains
supply
before
commencing
any
cleaning
process.
Cleaning
the
hob
top
Any
residues
that
are
left
on
the
hob
top
surface
from
cleaning
agents
should
be
removed
thoroughly.
You
should
remove
any
residues
with
water
and
a
little
washing
up
liquid.
Abrasive
cleaners
or
sharp
objects
can
damage
the
hob
surface;
you
should
clean
it
using
water
and
a
little
washing
up
liquid.
Although
it
is
easier
to
clean
some
deposits
whilst
the
hob
surface
is
still
warm,
you
should
take
care
not
to
burn
yourself
if
cleaning
the
hob
surface
when
it
is
still
warm.
