4.4.8. Turning the controller lock on and off
The controller lock protects the hob against accidental starting or a change in the
power of the working burners.
In order to prevent uncontrolled starts, switching off or changing the burner's power,
use
the controller lock, which is done as follows:
Touch the sensor (key) with your finger
item 4 Fig. 6
. Pressing and holding it for 5
seconds will cause the
controller to lock
, the indicator diode to switch on and an extended
audio signal to sound.
To unblock the hob controller, follow a similar procedure:
Touch the sensor with your finger
item 4 Fig. 6
and hold for 5 seconds,
the indicator
diode
item

switches off, the hob controller is unlocked and an audio signal can be
heard.
4.5. Selection of pots and pans
To ensure optimum use of the heat generated by the flame from the gas burner, use
appropriate pots and pans. They must have:
- a flat bottom,
- a bottom diameter larger than the diameter of the burner
.
In addition, the pots and pans are to be covered with lids (if permitted by the recipe).
Also ensure that the lid does not protrude beyond the cookware, so that condensate does
not drip onto the glass plate of the hob. This way, you will avoid difficult to remove stains.
Do not use such cookware on the hob that extends significantly beyond the heating
area edges. In addition, the diameters of the bottom of the pots and pans placed on the
large and small burners
at the front of the hob, should not exceed 22 cm. Failure to comply with this may cause the
control panel to overheat and increase the risk of burns to the user.
Cookware should be placed centrally on the grate above the centre of the burner
before it is switched on. The minimum diameter of the cookware should not be smaller than
the diameter of the flame crown of a particular burner.
Pay special attention not to accidentally
damage the temperature sensors that protrude
above the grate,
e.g. by moving a pot over the surface of the grates without lifting it or by
carelessly placing cookware on the hob.
NOTES - for obvious reasons:
do not use plastic dishes,
do not put empty cookware on the hob's cooking zones,
do not place textiles near lit burners.
